[gunshot] {.. Marxmen!}
[Intro]
Nigga we been here forever (First Family)
Let's go! Yeahhh, y'all know how the game go
Yeah, nigga we at it, we still at 'em nigga
(Put 'em up nigga) Firing Squad! YEAH!
Just make a note of it
One, one, we like it rockin nigga
(Put 'em up) Yeah, we still hip-hoppin nigga
(It's the way of the world) One on one, yeah
Fuckin with the murder staff now (TRUE TO LIFE!!!)
[Billy Danze]
Yo I was drivin an $80,000 car befo' I got with Dash
But I won't lie and say this ain't about the cash
Cognac, six-pack, and some dough in the stash
Sit back and watch my children play in the grass
And hopefully through this writin I'm enlightenin the hood
(Seems sorta sheisty) Yeah; but it ain't all good
Everyone that did me wrong, know this nigga strong
So hopefully for you that animosity is gone
(THROW IT UP!) For the homey Headquarters
And all the other brothers we lost in muddy waters (waters)
How do we go through life when our peeps don't support us
(You put up a good fight) Yeah but the streets still caught us
And the beef still brought us, in the middle of the street
Bodies riddled from bullets from our head to our feet
The game get deep, but y'all just see the surface
Y'all don't see no purpose, y'all just sleep
(HOW SHOULD A YOUNG G STAND?) Don't ask Danze
I don't fuck with them children I'm a grown-ass man
I live on the edge, I was raised where most niggaz pledge
to murder motherfuckers by the dozen
[Hook: unknown singer]
I'm drownin in the.. shallow waters
And I'm trying so hard, to reach the top
Something so unpure.. in the air to catch
I feel siiiin upon me
[Chorus: First Family]
You win some, you lose some
It's two roads to choose from, choose one - muddy waters
If your family chose, the road of the old code
You bound to lose one - these muddy waters
You win some, you lose some
It's two roads to choose from, choose one
Remember how you and the homey rode, make sure you travel
with the homey soul, when steppin through muddy waters
[Lil' Fame]
Yo, I'm in once, hustled in the rain, sleet, snow
(ON THE GRIND) Sheepskin, 40 belows
To feed his family, it was sweet tears and blood
That's what I call love, what do you call love?
Picture the same man losin his life for some lame bitch
he was out on the grind for, long story short
For Father's Day she'll place flowers on his grave
Then head upstate, to visit the nigga that murdered him the next day
(Look at that) My fundamentals come from the Hill
Travelled to it but left love in the 'Ville
Still hear the sound of my footsteps, steppin away
from my childhood toward the physique and the frame of a nigga
But mentally I'm stuck in the past
Askin myself why I was walkin so fast
Muh'fuckers think I'm ballin, I ain't ballin
I'm drinkin wit'cha'll tryin to get heart to face me stallin
It's like my moms is the angel in the sky
And I can see tears comin down the West Indian lady eyes
But, I apologize, and those I've hurt
with my bullshit, please believe I ain't mean it
(He ain't mean it) But I'm still a good man
As a kid I was given a fucked up hand, but I
still march as I scream at the top of my lungs
M.O.P. TO THE DEATH, stompin through muddy waters
[Chorus]
Oh baby, you don't have to go
Oh baby, you don't have to go
You know I'm gonna pack up baby, down the road I go
Whoa baby, what's gettin' wrong with you
Whoa baby, what's gettin' wrong with you

Drove a good man away from home.

Alright, alright.
Thank you so much ladies and gentlemen right here,
right here I want to tell you a little story.
This is about a country boy from down home.
This young man has never been north before.
I want you to listen to me, I got something to tell
you.
He heard about Chicago.
He worked hard over here, made all of that money, 800
dollars.
After caring for his crop, he called his cousin in
Chicago,
and he said, "Cousin, I'm on my way".
He picked all of that cotton.
I said this is about a country boy like myself, B.B.
King you know.
So when he get to Chicago, his cousin meet him and
bring him out to the club.
He said, "Set him up!", cous's payin' for.
Had all the go-go girls set up, waitin' up.
They carried him downtown and put him up in one of the
pleasure hotels.
They brought him back out and said, "Set him up!",
cous's payin' for.
His money got a little lighter, they lured him out from
the Lute and brought him down to Robert's.
And then he said, "Set him up!", cous's payin' for.
And then the 800 dollars, bein' more money then my man
had ever had, began to run out.
Then they moved him out and put him down with the ...
And then, ladies and gentlemen, the go-go girls would
get fewer.
His friends was fewer.
All his buddies are startin' passin' him on the other
side of the street.
And then it happened all his buddies were gone.
And my man knew only one thing to do, it was getting
cold there, like it is today,
you know what I'm talking about.
He went down to the railroad yard,
and one of the few ladies that had helped him to spent
his money, came by to see him.
And she said "You fool!, you fool!", I wouldn't have
spend your money, but the rest of them was spending
your money so I decided to spend my portion too, you
know.
But ladies, God bless 'em, wonderful something's aren't
they?.
They always like to feel like they're needed, and she
knew my man needed her bad.
He gotten sick, he's layin' down there under the
boxcar.
Couldn't read so well, so you know if he couldn't read
so well, he couldn't write too well,
you know what I'm talkin' about?
So this is a letter back down home, I know what I'm
talkin' about.
It go like this:
I've had my fun, whoah, if I don't get well no more
Whoah, I've had my fun, people, ooh, if I don't get
well no more
Yes, my health is faillin' on me now, people
Ooh, and I'm goin', goin' down slow
Yes, tell my mother, people, please tell her the shape
I'm in
Ooh yes, tell my people, mother, tell her the shape I'm
Tell her to pray for me, people, ooh, to forgive,
people, my sins
Oohooh mother, mother I live alone with my prayers
Ooh, tell my mother, people, tell her this is all in
prayers
Yes, if you don't see this old body, mother
jeah you know my baby,she ran of with the garbage man
jeah you know my sweet little baby,she ran of with the
garbage man

Or break his heart I don't know which
Forty days and forty nights

Prayin' for her each night
That she would come back-a home to me

Later on in the evenin', main man, I feel like, like
blowin' my horn
Well I, woke up this mo'nin' baby, find my little baby

A well now, some folks say they worry, worry blues

That's a misery feelin' child, I most, most ever had
Some folks tell me, man I did worry, the blues ain't
Well that's a misery ole feelin', honey now, well gal,
I most ever had
Well, brooks run into the ocean, ocean run in, into the
If I don't find my baby somebody gonna, gonna bury me,
um-hm
Brook run into the ocean, child, ocean run into the sea
Well, if I don't find my baby now, well gal, you gonna
have to bury me
Yes, minutes seem like hours an hours seem like days
Seems like my baby would stop her, her lowdown ways,
Minutes seem like hours child, an hours seem like days
Yes, seem like my woman now, well gal, she might stop
her lowdown ways

Leavin' this mo'nin, tell ya I had-a now ride the blind
Yeah, been mistreated baby now, baby an I don't mind
Mama was angry
Said: "Girl you must have lost your head
Only the lazy
Stay the whole day long in bed
Your skirts need mending
And the floor cries to be swept
Don't make me scream, girl
Did you hear just what I said?"
She spoke up to me
Like so many times before
She said: "Now, listen, girl
You ain't walking through that door
Your friends may call you
You won't be hanging 'round no more
By the muddy waters"
OOh yeah, muddy waters
Mama was shouting
Said: "Girl, you better watch your step
That good-for-nothing
You couldn't trust him when he's dead
He makes no money
And though he dresses like a Lord
Sweet child believe me
He'll make your pretty eyes go sore"
She spoke up to me
Like a thousand times before
She said: "Now listen, girl
You ain't walking through that door
No little lady
You two are sailing way too close
By the muddy waters"
Ooh yeah, muddy waters
She spoke up to me
Like a thousand times before
She said: "Now listen, girl
You ain't walking through that door
No little lady
You two are sailing way to close
To the muddy waters"
Ooh yeah, the muddy waters.
I ain't gonna go
Out my window the sky is looking grey
I poured my wine and roll myself a jay
I missed my ride on the early morning train
I wonder if my life will be the same
I see that this leads me astray
My defence is down when I'm in this daze
I'm stoned
We all need to feel the sun
We all need to feel someone
Like the grass needs the rain to grow
With every high there's always a low
Getting high, feeling low
Muddy waters on my radio
I take my time, nowhere to go
Muddy waters on my radio
Looking back to all my yesterday's
All I cared for was the latest craze
I missed my chances will they ever come again
I wonder if my life will be the same
I see that this leads me astray
My defence is down when I'm in this daze
I'm getting lazy in a smoky haze
I'm stoned
Chorus
I see that this leads me astray
My defence is down when I'm in this daze
I'm getting lazy in a smoky haze
I'm stoned
We all need to feel the sun
Chorus
Feel the sun warm your soul
Shine on me, shine on every one
Drink my wine smoke my blow
On my own again
I got myself to blame
Bitterness remains today
Here I go again
