Yeah

Ayo, it's poison, ecstasy, coke, you say it's love, it is poison

Schools where I learned, they should be burned, it is poison

Physicians prescriptin' us medicine which is poison

Doctors injectin' our infants with the poison

Religion misoverstood is poison

Niggas up in my hood be gettin' shot, given poison

In hospitals, shots riddle the block, little

Children and elderly women run for they lives

Drizzlin' rain come out the sky every time somebody dies

Must be out my fuckin' mind, what is this, the 100th time?

Sendin' flowers to funerals, readin' Rest In Peace

You know, the usual, death comes in threes

"Life is short" is what some nigga said

Not if you measure life by how one lives and what he did

And funny how these black-killer companies is makin' money off us

Fast food, Cola, soda, Skull and Bone crosses, it's all poison

Ecstasy, coke, you say it's love, it is poison

Schools where I learned, they should be burned, it is poison

Physicians prescriptin' us medicine which is poison

Doctors injectin' our infants with the poison

Religion misoverstood is poison

Sisters up in my hood try to do good, given choices

When pregnant, drop out of school or have abortions

Stop workin', hopin' that they find a man that will support them

Up late night, on they mother's cordless

Thinkin' a perm or bleachin' cream

Will make them better, when they're gorgeous

White girls tannin', liposuction

Fake titties are implanted, fake lips, that's life destruction

Light-skinned women, bi-racial

Hateful toward themselves, denyin' even their blood

I don't judge Tiger Woods

But I overstand the mental poison that's even worser than drugs

Yo, it's poison, ecstasy, coke, you say it's love, it is poison

Schools where I learned, they should be burned, it is poison

Physicians prescriptin' us medicine which is poison

Doctors injectin' our infants with the poison

Religion misoverstood is poison

Radio and TV poison, white Jesus poison

And any thoughts of takin' me down is poison

Who want beef now? My heat shall anoint 'em, plaow!

Never to worry, all the wrong-doers

Got it coming back to 'em a thousand times over

Every dog has its day, and everything flips around

Even the most greatest nation in the world has it coming back to 'em

Everybody reaps what they sows, that's how it goes

Innocent lives will be taken

It may get worse, but we'll get through it, y'all, be strong!

The China-men built the railroad, the Indians saved the Pilgrim

And in return the Pilgrim killed 'em

They call it Thanksgiving, I call your holiday "hell-day"

'Cause I'm from poverty, neglected by the wealthy

Me and my niggas share gifts every day like Christmas

Slay bitches, and party everyday like this is the last

I'm with my heckles, connectin' and we hittin' the lab

This is my level, fuck if it get you mad

It's all poison, all of my words to enemies, it is poison

Rappers only talk about keys, it's all poison

How could you call yourself MCs? You ain't poison

Think about the kids you mislead with the poison

And any thoughts of takin' me down is all poison

Who want beef now? My heat shall anoint 'em, plaow!

What goes around comes around, my nigga

And what goes up, it must come down, my nigga

The soldiers found below the ground, my nigga

Just hold it down, we older now, my nigga

What goes around comes around, my nigga

And what goes up, it must come down, my nigga

The soldiers found below the ground, my nigga

Just hold it down, we older now, my nigga

This nigga Ike with the Iverson jersey, light-skinned with herpes

Fuckin' sisters in Harlem, Brooklyn and D.C

This is the problem, 'cause he never tell 'em he got it

From lettin' fags suck him off, Rikers Island in '93

Drives a Benz, hangs at all the parties

All the concerts, backstage where the stars be

Rockin' they shirts in bitches faces like clockwork

What's your name? Where you from?

Chain blingin', thinkin' girls everywhere is dumb

Takin' pride in ruinin' their lives

So they could never have babies and they could never be wives

He never used a condom; give him head? He got ya

Met the wrong bitch and now he dead from the monster AIDS

I contemplate, believin' in karma

Those on top could just break and won't be eatin' tomorrow

I know some bitches who be sleepin' on niggas' dreams

They leave, when that nigga blow, she the first bitch on her knees

Knowin' dudes that's neglectin' their seeds

Instead of takin' care of 'em, they're spendin' money on trees

I pray for you, deadbeat daddies

'Cause when them kids get grown

It's too late for you, now you old and you gettin' shitted on

It's all scientific, mystic, you know, the Earth and the stars

Don't hesitate to say you heard it from Nas

What is destined shall be

George Bush-killer 'til George Bush kills me

Much blessings, be healthy, remember

What goes around comes around, my nigga

And what goes up, it must come down, my nigga

The soldiers found below the ground, my nigga

Just hold it down, we older now, my nigga

What goes around comes around, my nigga

And what goes up, it must come down, my nigga

The soldiers found below the ground, my nigga

Just hold it down, we older now, my nigga

- It's already the end -
