Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Forever
A Better Tomorrow
[Inspectah Deck]
Yo, this goes for all my brothers and sisters locked down
For all my peoples incarcerated, for those who ain't make it
Yo, in the housin thousands seen early graves
Victims of wordly ways, memories stays engraved
All my live brothers, is locked down with high numbers
The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die younger
In this new world the order slaughter men, women, and children
Ten feet gates surround the buildin keep us sealed in
The projects, vipers like a vietnam vet
Constant war, severe threats of enemy conquest
Crooked cops comb my building complex thats in the rumble
Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cypher crumble
Vivid thoughts, devils resort to trick knowledge
They kick garbage, less protect and quick dollars
I know the pain the game bring, I did the same thing
Spaced out in the staircase, performin a sting
It's hard to keep control, I bless those who seek a stroll
Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold
Not a role model, I walk a hard road to follow
I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels
The gospel was told, some souls it swallowed whole
Mentally they fold, and they eventually sold
The life and times, deadly like the virus design
But too minute, and dilute, the science is mine
You can't party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
[Masta Killa]
A voice cries from the wilderness of the north
A representation of the families that lost
One, all victims of incarceration
Or other divisions of the family structure
Youths are injected with serums that lead to skin irritations
Babies being born with disfigurations, experimentations
On their faces they bear world relations
Of mothers that carry the pain
Of blood stained streets where sisters mourn and wail
Killed brothers been slain from hails of gun fire
It lightly begins to rain screams of terror
Are hidden by the passing trains
"This can't be little Hussein", his uncle cries
As he drops to his nephews side, holding his cane
Just give me a name of who has inflicted this
Bit of sickness, and left us to witness
[U-God]
Yo, curses from war, innocent blood spills for days
Soothe in godly ways, hands, Solomon praised
Tree of life, more precious then rubies, gold and game
The wise shall flourish and inherit halls of fame
Crime visions in my blood got me, locked in prison
While we die hard, living people whine about religion, vision
Blow, spin, and sin and killing what's revealin
Is a never ending battle with no ending or beginning, listen
Zero process, progress, become the hunted
America's most wanted, good life flaunted, wanted
Some love the speed, some satisfy me
Some wanna be down, young gun seige, jungle breeze
The strong must feed, someone die, someone bleed
One flew astray, and then caught my little seed
Can it be, the ice have us trife life, made me grab the knife
The rightous man must be with many stripes, pipes
Take in my energy, breath in all the rest
The good die young and the hard die best
You can't party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
[RZA]
Y'all bitches love dances, and pullin down your pants
While your man's on tour, you're spending up his advances
Your friends ain't shit
All they do is drink, smoke and suck dick
The whole projects is trapped in sicks
You either high school drop outs, 1 to 3 cop outs
15 years old, shorty ass is top out
99 cent beer drinkin, pussy stinkin
Fuckin so much your ass and titties stark shrinkin
New World Order slave trade, minimum wage, Medicaid
And the devil call in months from nowaday
Inside my lab, I'm going mad
Took two drags off the blunts, and started breakin down the flag
The blue is for the Crypts, the red is for the Bloods
The whites for the cops, and the stars come from clubs
Or the slugs that ignites through the night by the dawn early light
Why is sons fight for the stripe
[Method Man]
As we dwell through this concrete hell, calling it home
Mama say, take your time young man and build your own
Don't wind up like your old dad
Still searchin for them glory days he never had
So many bad want to scheme for American dream, no more kings
The cash rule everything now, we going down
These babies looking up to us, it's up to us
The Million Man March MCs, get on the bus
But envy, greed, lust, and hate separate
Though the devil mind state bloodkin cannot relate
No longer brothers, we unstable
Like Cain when he slew Able, killing each other
You can't party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
