เนื้อเพลง Family Business (Album Version)
Family Business - Fugees
Ha ha
Where I was born nothing is promised
My life is filled with less hope
Than the prophecies of nostradamus
Omega marks the ending of predictability birth of agility
Who will it be to test me and expose their futility
Iron like a lion from zion stop trying so hard
I think I smell your brain cells fryin
The family's behind you if you're worthy
Philosophies developed deep in the back streets of dirty jersey
Troops with scully hats and timberland boots
No more break dancing for loot
Niggas hustle and shoot
In the garden state it grows stink weeds and criminals
Government funds are minimal
Oppression's subliminal
These days it's hard for we to find peace of mind
Between insanity and sanity there lies a thin line
Some dwell in hotels with jezebels
A stone age and fall a victim to the plague
Unclean bad dreams of wyclef being a fiend
One last kiss from my sweet serpentine
Eliminate then break
Navigate to rejuvenate thoughts of suicide with my nickel plate
Reconcilation came from my enemy friend
Who said family don't bend
We stay silent till the end
Now who would think that your best friend
Would be your worst enemy and your enemy your best friend
Stare into the air inspiration from the atmosphere
I think of old ghosts that ain't even here
Like alex haley take notes on this biography
My family tree consists of street refugees
A ghetto land where we talk slang
Stolen cars bang like my chitty bang bang sh bang
For the heads we ain't selling cocaine today
So refrain and let my family reign okay
Just walking the streets death can take you away
It's never guaranteed that you'll see the next day
At night the evil armies of shaton don't play
So defend the family that's the code to obey
But if I fall asleep and death takes me away
Don't be surprised son I wasn't put here to stay
At night the evil armies of shaton don't play
So the family sticks together and we never betray
Nah fuck that
Fifty two pick up no cops around
Fifty two thousand in cash I don't want no savings bonds
Have the money ready I smell something fishy
Your wife's in my custody
One false move and you'll find her body in the sea
That's the voice of the kid that's the kidnapper
I do my work and then I catch my ticket to jamaica
Meet me in the alley make sure you bring the money
This ain't the seventies I'm far from a jive turkey
My circle it can't be broken
Open cut throatin' provokin
Record promotin tokens choking on they words like smoke and
Cause we soft spoken doesn't mean that we've forgotten
Your bootie smells rotten and one day you will be gotten
See joker's is scatter brained their focus is unrestrained
My army is trained you never find us beefing in vain
Cause I've seen fire and I've seen rain
You claim fame while modest niggas remain
I can judge a character like ito judge a verdict
And if you bringin' threats I give you sex if I ain't heard it
See poppin' s's about your attitude and how you word it
I've seen the biggest niggas on the block get murdered
And they deserverd it
Or so the beast said when they served it
That s is nervous
So what's my purpose
Family we must preserve it your number's retired
I hope you like the hell fires
You'll be screaming murder she wrote like chaka demus and pliars
Just walkin' the streets death can take you away
It's never guaranteed that you'll see the next day
At night the evil armies of shaton don't play
So defend the family that's the code to obey
If I should fall asleep and death takes me away
Don't be surprised son I wasn't put here to stay
At night the evil armies of shaton don't play
So the family stick together and we never betray
We used to jump rope
But now we gun hope
Bustin' shots off of project roof tops
Sending signals with the blunt smoke
Ock don't talk a lot if you can't hold it in lock
If you think lips sink ships
Imagine full glock clips
I hold a glass of remy martin
Getting milks by the carton
Extorting the light weights for thinking they important
The night pays and heavenly ways
Ain't nothing free ah
Knowledge of your family and stepping to your bi
You see i stay on top of s like a fly
My niggas reach when they got beef
Then jet down to south beach
Yo mouthpiece is yapping
I hear it in your rap and
My family is thick so that bulls could never happen
Just walking the streets death can take you away
It's never guaranteed that you'll see the next day
At night the evil armies of shaton don't play
So defend the family that's the code to obey
If I should fall asleep and death takes me away
Don't be surprised son I wasn't put here to stay
At night the evil armies of shaton don't play
So the family stick together and we never betray
