Eriq Black - Lessons Lyrics

Yeah yeah
Yeah
This is a lesson to whichever dude
Thinks that he could never lose
Better check who you steppin' to or checkin' fool
Listen son ya might come up the least
Lord we need some peace
It's a dog eat dog world
Belly of the

Never thought I'd see a black president
Southern farm was my residence
Dirty was where I was rested and tested
Strength and stripes collected
I confess it's been a hard one
A long one
Cold nights
Hot sun
Alotta fights
I won
No father
No fun
So I joined the navy
Yeah the countries cool and all but it's mostly cause they paid me
So I did my time
Dashed out
Went to uni
Passed out
Started gambling
Cashed out
Slim Jimmy
Maxed out
Then there was the accident I almost lost my life and shit
I'm passed the greed
I'm pastoring
I'm holy power mastering
And now a church I'm founding
Man a family man, astounding
Man a family man I'm proud and
Now
I'm a good man with a good plan
And an even better woman
I know God's on my side so
I really ain't scared of nothing
But I heard they want to stop me
So instead of God it's shotty
Man I'm bout' to catch a body
I just pray somebody stop me
In the church I'll wait
Dead of night it's late
I'll let him choose his fate
Flip a coin or roll the dice
Either way it'll end on ice
Yeah you better keep your torch close
No telling which way the wind blows, ho
Yeah you better practice your tip-toe
Cause' I'd let it breathe on a mouse ho
Man you shouldn't have f*cked with the south ho
I think high but I stoop low so
Get hit with this double barrel
All for some dinero
It's a dog eat dog world
And the lord forgave the pharaohs

This is a lesson to whichever dude
Who thinks that he could never lose
Better check who you steppin' to or checkin' fool
Listen son ya might come up the least
Lord we need some peace
It's a dog eat dog world
Belly of the beast

Now I'm the meanest in the streets
Drove road so much it's creased
I always take the lead
I guess I got a need for speed in my Datsun
Policeman dodgin'
And if someone blow my fuse
I gotta leave a bruise man
I gotta leave a bruise
So follow you I'll cruise
Looming in your view
No telling what I might do
But I underestimated you
Because you pulled out the 9
I hit the gas like dime
Down the street I'm flyin'
I almost lost my life

This is a lesson to whichever dude
Who thinks that he could never lose
Better check who you steppin' to or checkin' fool
Listen son ya might come up the least
Lord we need some peace
It's a dog eat dog world
Belly of the Beast
