Snakes Lyrics

Snakes lyrics

[ VERSE 1 ]

How many of you heard about snakes

The kind that bite you if you're not awake

Not the reptile, the cold bloody wild

Walkin, talkin with the human lifestyle

The kind that lie, cheat, and do wrong

Cause destruction, and then they're gone

Without any trace they vacate the place

Some look pretty with an innocent face

You never know the negativity they are in

You try to identify, and they shed skin

The most-wrong-doin, the-truth-consealin

The unditected, ever-so-appealin



(Snakes) original (snakes) grafted (snakes)

A snake is a snake

Cause they're phony and fake

Devious (snakes) the wicked (snakes)

One to the head, for goodness sake



[ VERSE 2 ]

Somebody was flakin, snakin, and mistakin

And when I find out, I'm bound to start breakin

One for the head when I find who said

I was the one who got caught and dropped dime on Red

Cause you got the fellas mad as can be

Money, I'ma get you before they get me

See, I'm not the rat who bites the cheese

Cause I can do a three year's bid with ease

Please, you heard wrong from what I know

Because I wasn't even caught by five-o

Now who would assume Sunborn is a rat?

The same one who said I wasn't right 'n exact

For you are the one, you let your tongue run loose

You try to set me up, so you can have my juice

My name is seven letters, my shoes are too big

It's burrial time, and you will help me dig

Your grave, now be brave, there's no time to waste

The snake is the one who I shot in the face

(Hey Sun, how do you know you didn't make mistakes?)

He denied before I asked him, so he was the fake flake



(Snakes) the black (snakes) the white (snakes) 

A snake is a snake, so you make no mistake

Devilish (snakes) the venomous (snakes)

Once you are bitten, that's all it takes



[ VERSE 3 ]

One of my girls found out about the other one

I just killed a snake, now I gotta kill another one

Could haven been a male or female who told

My girl they seen another girl wearin my gold

Now she knows everything that I don't even know

She gave me a list of every place we go

Together, I say 'whatever', it can't be denied

Just because I never told, doesn't mean I lied

Now I gotta 'fess up and tell the truth

She even knows about the phone calls at the phone booth

Damn, who's the little fork-tongued critter?

Who told her I knocked the boots of the baby sitter

She won't say who she heard quotin

Just keep talkin while my gun is bein loaded

It might be a friend who's really a foe

But say no more, love, I think I know

Who the culprit is, you canivin swine

Can't be me, so you wanna have mine

Guess who is guilty of such perpetration

The one who I gave all the wrong information



(Snakes) original (snakes) the grafted (snakes)

A snake is a snake

Cause they're phony and fake

Devious (snakes) the wicked (snakes)

And once you are bitten, that's all it takes



[ VERSE 4 ]

The city streets are full of deceit

The same negativity must repeat

It's goin on and on, and not about to stop

Snakes are criminals, snakes are cops

Out even in the White House, without a doubt

Find a snake, and let's cast them out

Slippin, slidin, duckin, hidin

Buy a new car and go snake-ridin

I guess now you snakes are very angry

Cause I'm black, white, you wanna hang me

I see the ropes, and I'm no dope

I was taught to cope

Can you fool me? Nope



(Snakes) the fork-tongued (snakes) the belly-crawlin (snakes)

Thought I was sleepin, found out I was awake

Lyin (snakes) the devious (snakes)

The heat is too hot, so it's time that you break



Weaken the weak

Is the snake technique  (4x)



(Two times)

(Hit me)



Peace to Allah's Nation

I'd like to say peace to my man Carlos doin a little bid right now

You gonna handle that, bee

I'd like to say peace to my man Tafari 

rulin in-a New Jersey style Seen?

Have to watch out for snakes in-a di area...
