TEV - Nip, Tuck Lyrics

Look
They killed NIP nigga
How I'm s'pose to feel now?
I feel my niggas always get the raw deal, how?
It's always us against the world
Now it's us against us
I look myself in the mirror thinkin'
Who do I trust?
I seen negus on negus crime
Blind killin' the blind
We like a one hit wonder with our one track minds
I pray to God that we don't run out of time, shit
And go extinct, like in the blink of an eye
I seen my niggas brains up in some shackles
Demons in the tabernacle
Truths could never be unraveled
Another day, another battle
I'm tired of fightin' nigga
I wanna love
I'm losin' faith everyday in the man up above
But I could never let the hard times break me
Never let the devil shake me
Lord knows he wanna take me, yeah
I swear this life done made me see it all
And everyday I be thinkin' it's my curtain call, not at all

I swear my mind keeps spinnin' away, it's spinnin' away, it's spinnin' away, hey
I swear my mind keeps spinnin' away, it's spinnin' away
I swear my mind keeps spinnin' away, spinnin' away, spinnin' away, hey
I swear my mind keeps spinnin' away, it's spinnin' away

Man havin' strong enemies is a blessin'
That makes me question
What's the essence of this life I'm living?
Is it Jealousy that makes my brother hate?
Is it the love, that I give that they never wanna take?
They say hate is confused admiration
I'm facing niggas showin' me love
Deep down I know they fakin'
And, I could see it in they eyes, they want my mama to cry
I know they wanna live my truths because they livin' a lie
My man's Mike just got a new benz
Don't wanna take it back to the hood, to show a few friends
He said Tev, ain't it crazy how a nigga always want what you got
It be eatin' at they soul when you sit right at the top
It's just the black mans curse, it's so much worse
Them 400 years caused so much hurt
But we gon' rise from the ash and dirt
Like the Phoenix
And shine like we meant to, because we mean it
But, you know the deal
Niggas live by the gun, then you die by the gun
You just killed somebody son
It's the true definition of minority
We minor, but never major
You know majority rules
That's how it goes to a T
Then I pity the fool
Another lose-lose Situation
We sittin' clueless in the congregation
Then look at God for some revelation
I guess I'll holla at the destination, yeah

I swear my mind keeps spinnin' away, it's spinnin' away, it's spinnin' away, hey
I swear my mind keeps spinnin' away, it's spinnin' away
I swear my mind keeps spinnin' away, spinnin' away, spinnin' away, hey
I swear my mind keeps spinnin' away, it's spinnin' away, hey
