Debt to Society

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Don't you be blinded

Don't believe everything that they writing

It's only one sided,

You still wanna punish me

When I pay my debt back to society

Why they lie on me?

Flesh:

First off, Imma set the record straight so won't you lend me your eardrumms

Nobody need to wonder where the hunger come from

It's full of thunder, when it rumbles Stack don't fear none

Got em back, on the track, after so many years, When I was Judged by twelve of my peers

It's Bullshit to hand your life in the hand of strangers

Now you can add up all the tattoo tears

Still doing what I feel I gotta do to off, his number one priority

I never been no ordinary, put with extra's on it, they calling me a minority

They said I was a lost cause, been in and out the system, (dodged the law/doors revolve)

I should of been thinking, I shouldn't been drinking so much

Cause problems alcohol never could solve

Drop my drawers, on top of the roof clowing

had to talk down on em, give a nigga hassle, harassing

I'm living in my castle, the blast sound off keep smashing pounding on

In the morning arrested, what a hell of a story to tell

Took half of a million to post bail, fuck it had to put it all up for sale

Why, society got us part of a structural violence so, When the table is turned

We fed up so we uprise! Set it off like a L.A. wild fire, burn baby, burn as the globe turns

Till it's over ain't no slacking, smack me and imma smack you back, And it'll get worse if you start pulling out debt

Don't you be blinded

Don't believe everything that they writing

It's only one sided

You still wanna punish me

When I pay my debt back to society

Why they lie on me?

Krayzie:

Everybody wanna know how the greatest is underrated

There's never been another more imitated than Krayzie Layzie Bizzy Wish Flesh truly amazin

Here to stay and ain't nobody that can move me or sway me

Like a deadly disease I'm really hella contagious

You better stay away or you'll catch the innovation

Less than imitation, Stressed in litigation

Keeping my situations, Heated from complication

I'm tryin to tell em I done all to paid my dues

A lot of other rappers couldn't walk a day in my shoes

Stay in my shoes to walk in my street blues

I pity the fool that try to stop these trues

Now they see me comin runnin at em doin a hundred I want and I need every dollar bill y'all All the debt paid up

Even write a check to myself, pay us

Yes I'm takin it all

Got a call just the other day

Heard what the media had to say

They don't know about me

Nothing's gonna stop me from crying

And I know, they twist the things I do and say

And try to get my soul to break

I'll keep rising to the top

Give it all I've got I'm a fighter

Don't you be blinded

Don't believe everything that they writing.

It's only one sided

You still wanna punish me

When I pay my debt back to society

Why they lie on me?

Don't you be blinded

Don't believe everything that they writing

It's only one sided

You still wanna punish me

When I pay my debt back to society

Why they lie on me?

Bizzy:

And let me break it down about little Bizzy

Ain't nobody gonna play me

Wake up swinging on my enemies

Can't answer me, remember me, much quicker than a centipede

the death of me's a better me

And motherfuckers 'member when I talk about the murder, murder, murder

Don't be bigger than me

Cause ain't nobody gonna come to my street, I keep keep heat

Tell 'em nigga bailin', nigga all will be well

And I don't open the lock, no nigga not for the cops

I'm right here nigga, sittin' on the porch

With my niggas gettin' scorched

With my niggas gettin' torched

We can toss in the stone and then give em a bone

'Member the dream, triple beam when I go back to court

through the door nigga this me with battered soles

By the way let's tell them the truth

That nigga fuckin with who?!

That nigga fuckin with you

Then let me tell you who you fuckin' with too

Now let me show how we do

See stack can't lose and the devil's bad news

Man fuck these shoes and the county blues

everybody wanna do it like Zeus

I came to get loose

I came to get raw

I came to get seen

With death or no truce

That's gon' be the truth

That's gon' be the rule

I'm in my body ready to die

Forever with you, I'm bailin' with you

You ready to kill, I'm ready to ride

I'll deal with my pride

If my dreams come true

Platinum still, and that's for will and that's for real

And that's the last kill

Last time niggas ever see me chillin' in the body

Give me my shotty I gotta give ..?.. his dues

Now let me slide to the other side with all of my troops

I keep rex with the boots, and my nigga recruits

Who will I write to ..?..

That I got to pay my debt to society
