Native Son (feat. Raekwon)

Oooh Oh yeah, oh (yeah) Talk to me, yo Let's hit it Silently, I'm going tip toe around you Silently, I walk past your mama's door Silently, only trick my absent father Talk to me as you walked on out the door Violently, I spent my youth routinely Violently, innocence was torn away Violently, I suppressed all I was feelin' Finally, men took me away I've been steppin' lightly through it all Ever hearin' anybody's call, yeah (that's real) I've been steppin' lightly through it all (keep it moving family) Never hearing anybody's call, yeah (that shit is official) All I got to say (they need some food, love) (Raekwon) I got you kid Yo, nothin' to lose, mentality is beastly Raised amongst the most ferocious, life wasn't easy Slingin' them stones, bangin' 'em close 'cuz nobody cares Neither did I 'cause my father left me to fry In this hell of a world with stray bullets to snipe you Generals look for soldiers with heart so they can stripe you Dirty dope fiends that's evil, they got the needle twitch Veins are polluted (?) dozin' off of that fix Matilda' nephew Lovell, he turned states on this kingpin kid A couple of months back She ain't seen him since I guess he caught a bad deal He grew up to follow the code But once that code is broken That's the end Good riddance Them killers, they came and lynched him They stopped his cash flow No ifs and or buts, gotta go He got what he deserved If it was me I would have clipped his whole family, understand me? (That's real son) (Leo Napier & Raekwon) I've been steppin' lightly through it all Never hearin' anybody's call, yeah (that's real) I've been steppin' lightly through it all, yeah (smooth as one lane) Never hearing anybody's call, yeah (Raekwon) Ey yo Chef, what's up my nigga? Life is a hussle, the struggle is all real When there's nothin' in the kitchen to eat you gotta kill Am I wrong for that? My family gotta eat by any means Which means if I got a spray this machine And body-bag somthin' Toe-tag somethin' Creep thru the hood silently And spaz on 'em, without a warning It's like that, my rank is official Pearl-handed pistols I'm serious business And strictly, who got an issue? I need that duffle bag action So I could transform the poverty ways into the main attraction But yo, life will throw you all kinds of situations It's a full time job tryin' to dodge incarceration Blow somethin' heavy, keep my thoughts circulating 'Cause what I'm contemplating, is really premeditated redrum Don't blame my for my actions, blame my environment That I'm a product of owning my? My innocence was snatched early So fear don't live here All I got is my word and pride And who swallow that for nothin'? So take it in blood, end of discussion Trust me
