Lay Down Your Weapons
Lay down your weapons, weapons for me
Lay down your weapons, weapons for me
If that means anything
Listen little man, I done told you f*@# the hype ting
I done told you road life aint what it might seem
Where I'm from we do wrong for the right c.r.e.a.m
But at a price can loose your life for some nice things
No nice dreams, just fiends and si-rens
No lie, you don't wanna hear the 9 scream
Cause cold nights got us slippin like an ice rink
My bro died, he got hit up like lightning
My road dawg kill him, imprisoned with the lifeless
Youngen listen, can you vision where my mind is?
This life's sick the end's sorta like The Wire
Friends turns snitch I know you heard about spider
I recommend you take a telling from me
Cause I've been in it from the start dawg,
It's hell in these streets
Once you in it, then you in it, ain't no settling beef
Lay down your weapons, f*&# reppin', get your money and leave
[Chorus]
Lay down your weapons, weapons for me
Lay down your weapons, weapons for me
If that means anything
Can we avoid war, search and destroy war
Learn what to live for, if that means anything
Lay down your weapons, weapons for me
If that means anything
You think this life looks fun, well look a little closer
You just might find this life isn't what you hoped for
The roadside's a lie, and the proof's in the culture
The truth is you die or sit down, no sofa
Prison living is a image you don't know dawg
Picture living in this prison and it's so dark
And when you listen you hear whispers from the cold draft
Looking in the mirror, like a sinner with a broke heart
I know it's so hard, I hope it won't last
I know you're scarred and you just wanna get your dough fast
But you don't wanna end up dead or stuck behind bars
Time is of the essence and the present flies past
When the 9 sparks mother's loose their baby boys
And die hard kids wanna play with toys
Listen to my voice, can you hear my pain
Before there isn't choice
[Chorus]
Lay down your weapons, weapons for me
Lay down your weapons, weapons for me
If that means anything
Can we avoid war, search and destroy war
Learn what to live for, if that means anything
Lay down your weapons, weapons for me
If that means anything
