I know some Keisha's and Brenda's Done by some family or friends, bruv Done by a person they trusted We got the knife and the gun clip Smell of revenge in the air and it's potent Please don't disguise bullshit as a rose Like, I cannot walk through the valley of the shadow of death And act like I ain't even know 'Cause I want some cheques and respect and to blow Mindin' your business, protectin' a code Like, chеck your bredrin 'cause he's in thе wrong 'Cause she said no and he's still pushin' on That's a serial offender, uh And I ain't talkin' Coco Pops But when the word's out, you're gettin' snapped, crackled, and popped Ready or not, Fugees Comin' up with foolishness like What was she doin' there? Why did you follow them there? Why was you wearin' that? Why did you say that? Why did you engage? Did you not know what they were on? It's that, it's just barbaric, it's crazy Searchin' for redemption, still I need a little peace of mind A little space from all this pain and we gon' seek this fight So under pressure, if I let up, I won't see this night Need a resolution Searchin' for redemption, still I need a little peace of mind A little space from all this pain and we gon' seek this fight So under pressure, if I let up, I won't see this night Need a resolution Like, I know some girls that survived R. Kellys I know some men that survived them, too Ages of Blue Peter down to Blue's Clues To buy silence for some new shoes I don't live for no hype or no drama I'd rather rendezvous with some karma They say leave it to God, but I'm all at an odd 'Cause my mind's at a loss and my heart's turned to frost Like, "Forgive and forget" I'd rather stand with a knife and avenge I'd rather use what I have with a pen I'd rather lose than to lie and pretend Caught between movin' and makin' amends If they can't check you, then they're not your friends (They're not your friends, and they're not your friends...)
