Fading Lights
Verse One:
Remember back in the days, when niggaz had waves
Gazelle shades, and corn braids
Pitchin pennies, honies had the high top jellies
Shootin skelly, motherfuckers was all friendly
Loungin at the barbeques, drinkin brews
with the neighborhood crews, hangin on the avenues
Turn your pagers, to nineteen ninety three
Niggaz is gettin smoked G, believe me
Talk slick, you get your neck slit quick
Cause real street niggaz ain't havin that shit
Totin techs for rep, smokin blunts in the project
hallways, shootin dice all day
Wait for niggaz to step up o

Motel Six
there's a riot in the street
and no one seems to care
the kids are all at home
they're glued to their TV's
revolution now
now I don't got time
I've got to meet my friends
they're at the bar waiting for me
try run me out of my neighborhood
if I don't comply I'm just no good
I'll just spend my whole life misunderstood
there's a war outside my head
and it wants to get inside
life could be so easy
I always try to let things slide
I can't decide if I should join the team
or watch the world run dry
try to keep my head up
problems, you have yours
and I got mine
