All Things

[chorus: x2]

All things, ain't, what they seem

You'll get washed; even if you're way too clean

[opio]

I was ridin around the lake gettin smoked last night

Seen a gang of businessmen pilin out the scottish rite

It was just lascivious, cuz ducked in the three-way

Givin those ridiculous handshakes to the pd and the da

But i'm hip to the sign language it's just an exchange

Of the blood brotherhood who remains nameless

But to me y'all famous, and i got game just the same

Man it floods my brain, ya can't frame us

[pep love]

They got plans, plots and schemes

Like a dope fiend tryin to get that ice cream cola

[opio]

My nigga hold up, things is not as they seem

You get washed; even if you're way too clean

[pep love]

Deceptions inception and interception of our direction

Is intertwined with what goes on in our minds

Take a look at your reflection

What you perceive is based on what you believe is true

Shackled and chained and thinkin you as free

As a eagle in the sky - need i remind you?

The pen is an inkwell, niggaz is slaves

Even if we not locked up, we on our way

[opio]

They got plans, plots and schemes

Like a dope fiend tryin to get that ice cream cola

[pep love]

My nigga hold up, things is not as they seem

You'll get washed; even if you're way too clean

[chorus]

[pep love]

I'm bent like a slinky, where the hoes at?

Just got paid, pockets on fat

Friday night, everything is right

Til opio hung a left then i seen his lights (siren)

But we "b-legit" like "the savage"

We da shit, got l's and a pocket full of cabbage

One time did a search and found we had scratch

Itched it and took us downtown

Matched ..

[opio]

.. descriptions of two individuals who just did a bank heist

Small timin shanked the guard twice in his neck

A purple heart vietnam vet

They test me and eye-witness fingered out pep

So the next logical step was: i drove the getaway

Accessory to murder, court date set for may

Put my ass in north county on set for pelican bay

And since i'm not orenthal j., i can't pay

Shapiro the dinero to get away clean

A nigga got twenty years though, know what i mean?

[pep love]

They got plans, plots and schemes

Like a dope fiend tryin to get that ice cream cola

[opio]

My nigga hold up, things is not as they seem

You get washed; even if you're way too clean

[chorus]

[outro]

"does anybody know what the situation is?

Do you know what we can do and what we can't do?

What we can say and what we can't say?

I don't know that anymore.

And i don't have enough time to go and research all the laws.

So i'm in the position

That the only thing i can say about that is fuckit."
