Lyrics

Guilty Conscience

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.

Meet Eddie, twenty-three years old

Fed up with life and the way things are going

He decides to rob a liquor store

(I can't take this no more, I can't take it no more homes)

But on his way in, he has a sudden change of heart

And suddenly, his conscience comes into play

Alright, stop! (Huh?)

Now before you walk in the door of this liquor store

And try to get money out the drawer

You better think of the consequence (But who are you?)

I'm your motherfucking conscience

That's nonsense!

Go in and gaffle the money and run to one of your aunt's cribs

And borrow a damn dress, and one of her blonde wigs

Tell her you need a place to stay

You'll be safe for days if you shave your legs with an aged razor blade

Yeah but if it all goes through like it's supposed to

The whole neighbourhood knows you and they'll expose you

Think about it before you walk in the door first

Look at the store clerk, she's older than George Burns

Funk that! Do that! Hit that lick!

Can you afford to blow this pit? Are you that rich?

Why you care if you scare her to death? Are you that chick?

Do you really think she gives a fuck you have kids?

Man, don't do it, it's not worth it to risk it! (You're right!)

Not over this list

Stop!

Drop the biscuit (I will!)

Don't even listen to Slim yo, he's bad for you

You know what Dre? I don't like your attitude!

These voices, these voices!

I hear them (hear them, hear them, hear them)!

I'll follow!

I'll follow!

I'll follow!

I'll follow all these voices!

Meet Stan, twenty-one years old

After meeting a young girl at a rave party

Things start getting hot and heavy in an upstairs bedroom

Once again, his conscience comes into play

Now listen to me, while you're kissin' her cheek

And smearin' her lipstick, I slipped this in her drink

Now all you gotta do is nibble on this little chicken's earlobe!

Yo! This girl's only fifteen years old

How could you take advantage of her?

She's passed out!

It's easy, just cut these lights out!

That's how!

Then pick this chicken up

Get her off Brad's couch

And leave her on the front porch

At her mum and dad's house!

Man, ain't you ever seen that one movie Kids?

No, but I seen the porno with SunDoobiest!

Do you wanna get hauled off to jail?

Funk that, drop her off, ring the door bell then bail

These voices, these voices!

I hear them (hear them, hear them, hear them)!

I'll follow!

I'll follow!

I'll follow!

I'll follow all these voices!

Meet Grady, a twenty-nine year old construction worker

After coming home from a hard day's work

He walks in the door of his trailer park home

To find his wife in bed with another man

Alright calm down, relax, start breathin'

Start breathin'?!

Man, you just caught your wife cheatin'!

While you at work she's with some dude tryin' to get off?!

Forget gettin' divorced!

Cut this chicken's head off!

Wait! What if there's a good explanation for this?

What? She tripped? Fell? Landed on his shit?!

Alright Shady, maybe he's right Grady

But think about the baby before you get all crazy

Okay! Thought about it, still wanna grab her?

Kick her out the house, get your daughter and kidnap her?

That's what I did, be smart, don't be a retard

You gonna take advice from somebody who slapped Dee Barnes?

What'chu say?

What's wrong? Didn't think I'd remember?

I'ma kill you motherfucker!

Uhhh-aahh! Temper temper!

Mr Dre? Mr NWA.?

Mr AK comin' straight outta Compton y'all better make way?

How in the hell you gonna tell this man not to be violent?

'Cause he don't need to go the same route that I went

Been there, done that

Aw fuck it

What am I sayin? Do 'em both Grady, where's your gun at?
