Текст песни "Mainstream"



Verse 1: 

Revolutionary, scary 
Thought provoking, spoken, 
Words of a chain I don't feel but I see, 
visions from me 
at twenty three making us free in my community 
one day is what I live for, 
ain't thinking about no hope no more 
I got my boots I kick it till I get with 
Adapt and overcome, oh hum hum 
Go get my gun, load up for fun, and put down with the frown 
What goes round comes round from M.L.K. to cascade 
I know its through them plenty figures 
cocaine dealers walk the wrong side 
up in they rides, 
looking cleaner then I seen them the last time 
Then selling dimes, now its quarter keys, stacking G's 
In the South Indies 
my nigga them folks riding bicycles among vehicles 
off in the hood 
Knowing each and every nigger sellin', but can you blame 
the fact the only way a brother can survive the game 
the block hard to get by the dope dealing, fatal killings 
in fair times so writing rhymes 
it ain't just the police 
we kill each other just lost another brother 
fast living will get you took, 
thinking it can't happen to you and then it do 
off crooked schemes its just a dream 
floating face down in the mainstream 

Chorus: 

Think it is when it ain't all peaches and cream 
that's why some are found floating face down in the main stream 

Verse 2: 

They swan divin' 
fit they name be thrashing an album 
go-kart rushin' to finish their album then you find them 
lost, dog paddling, back stroking, what done happened? 
be rhymin' catching the day when the recipe calls for black and 
wrong ingredients, 
maybe too much herbs and spices, 
maybe you got hungry for the wrong dish 
southern greens and this entice them how them joke the same 
so I'm gonna sing just like them to get where they at 
I'll even break my by back to touch their rim if I gotta 
My alta mater be that I follow 
I bite whatever that's looking tasty, water it down then swallow 
I hope you vomit, won't call no names cause that's not my job 
it just applies to whom it may concern you know who you are 
but if you don't you never will, you just receive the steel 
but then it might get ugly cause trust me niggas do feel 
the way that I felt when I wrote this, but we must stay in focus 
we kings and queens up in this thing, get rid of all them jokers 
face down, face down, face down 

(Chorus) 

Verse 3: 

I let you stay in my crib, now you know where I live 
when you was hungry, fed you a hot meal, look at the hand you deal 
me crudball business giving niggers inches so here, take a foot 
luck only counts in rabbit's feet and horseshoes, 
experience is sometimes the best teacher until we get our own plate 
I hope you don't mind me eating off of yours, 
process momma moping like jerry 
meanwhile, fairies of the street tinkling pixie dust over greenery 
never to obtain another level of con-science 
only to test, to poke and see 
why laying here, they scheme over one another mouth to feed 
??? with a decision to make, now words shake your destiny 
but a missle will take it all the way just as quick as you can say 
I wish I never did what I did now face this bid 
it was the company you kept, the many places you slept 
when you shouldn't have, geeking like a rat, jumping like a trap 
contributing to sin and your nigga bitch in the court showing paper thin 
got you niggers where they want you again, 
floating face down in the mainstream 
thats why, thats why, thats why 

(Chorus) 

Verse 4: 

Everybody's a player, rubbin them kangols on their head 
thinking its all about your clothes, nigger its all about your self 
the way you feel about your life, the times that you done shared with 
your friends and family, up and down like hoes give head 
to dicks oh, six, serving them in the mix, but ain't no mystery 
you know the history about this clique bitch 
oh, what, you want me to call you slut? 
then why you fucking all them niggers letting them all up in your guts 
but see that AIDS I'm afraid that's why I play the quiet role 
I lay in the cut, every month thinking I'll let that fire roll 
like chimneys, and smoke signals, maybe peace pipes even 
my partners call me Big Boi and my first name is not Steven 
in the mainstream, home team banging them with these hits 
in the mix flowing like some motherfucking swordfish
