Studio Ton - Practice Looking Hard lyrics

[Verse 1:] Bloody murder, crime, d**, folks smokin' Man I remember when it used to be Cool to leave ya screen door open And let the mosquitos and the flies sneak in Look mama and them playing whist So I'mma go play tackle football with my friends I guess them times is gone Cause like a wishbone I wish I had em' back instead of watchin' brothers fiz-all Just about out on Catch them out on every track, block, street, boulevards Sweet avenues with dead ends, neighborhoods with antens Whatever happened to the days of Little League Pop Warner and Boy Scouts, the Omegas Boys Club Fool too cool to go to school not thinkin' Too busy smokin' weed, sellin' Dope and drinkin' I guess we're livin' in the last days Cause in the last days the Bible speaks of AIDS Plagues, brothers k**in' brothers, earthquakes Youngsters tryin' to earn stripes, is it worth theys? I'll be a s**er if I don't pull ya ho card I used to be soft but now I'm hard, look hear I'll be a s**a if I don't pull Your card n***a, I practice lookin' hard [Hook:] I got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin' hard Mirror, mirror make the call Who's the hardest of them all I got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin' hard Right before I go to bed I make sure that my mirror's there [Verse 2:] Take yo mean face off partner why ya muggin' me Fools say n***a, I can't help That sh**'s in me It's automatic cause what's mine they done took It's my mad at the world Look I said I feel ya man, sometimes I catch myself too Mean muggin' folks that Did no harm to me or my crew But now it shouldn't have to be this way Fools say, I don't care what nobody Say The other man got me this way I'm fresh out the pen and I've been systemized For years Been fillin' out all kinds of applications to make a grip But I don't know nothin' about no computer chip It takes that to make a J-O-B In the 93 But a J-O-B in 93 consists of paper rarely Jobs like the oil refinery I'd rather work in Napa at the winery And then ya wonder why I'm stubborn Forever lookin' hard, I been scarred [Hook:] I got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin' hard Right before I go to bed I make sure that my mirror's there I got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin' hard Mirror, mirror make the call Who's the hardest of them all [Verse 3:] Can't tell me sh**, I come from a broken up home Every since I was a youth I thought that I was grown Meet me after school n***a and we can get it on Ya talked about my mammy now I'm goin' upside ya dome I got a complex problem, my guard stay up I'm always on the offensive side Don't test my nuts I'm not a Johnson nor a Larry but I'm scary Scared that I might lose it and Chop you with my piece berry I deep into my sh** and it's straight like that I be quick to clobber a motherf**er with my Flintstone bat Nobody likes me on my father's side of the family They can't stand me cause they think that I'm sellin' that candy I kid you not, all bullsh** to the side I got 20,000 muthaf**as in my organization Now which one of y'all n***as down to ride I gets juiced off the underground ghetto sh** You know that Click sh**, that independent sh** It makes me feel like I want to Got me a baggy full of broccoli and a crooked Ides 22 I feel great, I'm mean muggin', but I feel great [Hook:] I got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin' hard Right before I go to bed I make sure that my mirror's there I got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin' hard Mirror, mirror make the call Who's the hardest of them all [Various ad-libs]
