Lyric Straighten It Out
featuring K Rino
(Have you been to the ghetto lately?)
Hell yeah I ve been in this mothafucka since day one and I ain t trying
to get out...
Straighten it out...
[K Rino]
Yo Blank man you know I understand where you coming from...
You don t have to explain all that to me dog...
All I can tell you to do is watch out for them laws and keep your nuts up...
K Rino know you ain t no punk man...
See, a lot of people gonna try to get you slipping...
So you gotta watch your back, homeboy...
You know I m right behind you so don t even look back...
[Point Blank]
All I remember is I was playing with a matchbox
Took the matches out and fill it up with rocks
When I m up the cut I slum, a lot of niggas got hum
But I was one of the lucky ones
Anyway I kept doing
Not knowing something had come along ruing it
Dope fiend set me up
I lost my money, my car and my nuts
It was hard to forget and when I finally realized I ain t got shit
I wanted to skip town and give them a chase
I said: Fuck it! , got a lawyer and tried to beat the case
I walked up in the courtroom
And looked around at the place where I soon meet my doom
The judge asked what I plea
I waited a couple of minutes and said: Damn, I m guilty!
I had to go to the penitentiary
Best he can give me was 6 and I knew I had to do 3...
Long years behind bars
With the rest of American Most Wanted s stars
Then I asked myself: Why me?
I should ve thought about this when I was making that money
Shit, now I m in a jailcell all alone
Trying to get used to my new home
Thinking about things that I used to do
Planning when I get out what I m not gonna do
Hell, 3 years ain t that long
It will give me some time to write a whole lot of songs
Man, now I m trying to chill myself up
But deep inside my heart s just toe-up
Trying to psych myself out
But at the couple of months I ve been played this shit out
I used to be a crazy ass dope man
Rolling with Scarface, Terrorists and the Peter Man
I should ve listened to the godfather
He said: Blank, you better chill or your ass gonna suffer!
And that s exactly what I m doing
Damn, my life is ruing
Selling that shit...
[K-Rino]
Yeah, I know you gotta live and learn...
No brothas won t even sweat that...It will be alright...
Yeah, South Park Coalition gotta stick together, man...
Society ain t going with us so I say down the society...
You know what I m talking about, brothas?
Blank, you know you re a child of a concrete so you can handle anything
that comes at you...
Got a mind like a handgranade detinated to explode to them laws,
brotha...
[Point Blank]
My son was 8 months when I lost track
And he ll be damn near 4 when I get back
And if do see him then
Will he know I his father or think I m a strange man
Sometimes I say he ll remember me
But if I ask: Come here, bean! , will he answer me?
I guess this I never know
Until I get out in 1994...
[K-Rino]
Yeah, times get to the point where a brotha don t know what s coming at him...
See, Point Blank s kicking reality...
S.P.C. can t go wrong...
Yo, Blank, I know you did wrong, brotha...
Sometimes you gotta go wrong to learn what s right...
You know what I m talking about?
I know you do...
[Point Blank]
Now I m back in the streets and guess what I m starting?
Selling drugs and store robbing
My son was bigger than a mothafucka
I was 22, he was 4, looked just like my little brotha
Deep in my heart I felt nothing but pain
Couldn t count worth shit but I can measure some cocaine
My father said: Son, ya better sit down...
or somebody gonna put you in the ground!
But no, I ain t listening
I make my own decisions, fuck the ass-kissing
I m not a menace to society
God damn it, society is a menace to me
Point Blank is strong
I did what ever I had to do cause I knew I wouldn t live long
So I called my girlfriend
She said: Baby, please stop, you just got out of the pen!
But one day a lot shit went wrong
Punk mothafuckas done tap my telephone
Yeah, they tired to rob me
I knew it wasn t a hit cause the shit was slobby
I went along with it
The last thing I saw was the sky and I never forget it
And as I layed on the ground
I said: God, I let you down!
I guess it s too late to straighten it out...
[K-Rino]
Yo, Blank, we moving like a shadow, baby...K-Rino gots your back...
As these streets raise you, use your brain...It will be alright...
There ain t no choice for niggas out there...
So you got people making your life go with you...
My boy Dope-E, Egypt-E, K.O...You can t loose with that S.P.C...
South Park is a war...Niggas born drafted...
But Ice Cream and Milk is always on your side...
Let it ride, brotha...Let it ride...
86...Dope...
