Roots, The - Guns Are Drawn Lyrics






Yeah it would be cool it could be too
Stop Running round in circles off of what we fuel
Living a lie eventually believing it's true
A lot of people here for us one could be you
It's outrageous and they just ain't nothing
But save us an ocean of brown fists in various flavors
A favor for a favor man, this is the majors
Tell me what you would do with no phone or pagers
No Kinko's, no Fed Ex and no ATM's
What you gone do when the poliece state vegin
Well it already began but I guess it depends on what's really going on
what's happening, huh
Military target practicing
They finna write another patriot act again
The days is short the nights is long
The fight goes on
The pistol and the pipes are drawn

[Hook:]
The middle of the night
We fight like barbarians
In sight of the former might
You might think that it's a waste
Of our time
And I think you would be right
Till he drop that rhyme
[Repeat]

And some might say that it's a waste of time
Cause ain't no amount of dancing finna break the bondage
We go to war and transcend space and time
When every record ain't a record just to shake behinds
You know the stakes is high we in the face of drama
That's why we can't shake it or escape the problem
Its like a game of roulette the barrel revolving
They only wanna see us occupying a coffin
Mothers crying too often from they lost child leaving
From trying to get over, get under, get even
Get inside getting, getting dumped, getting greedy
We got to get it right
It ain't about to be easy
You better pull you goggles up, it's about to get greasy
Believe it's on as long as we can still speak freely
Pages of my life would make it hard to read me
I know my people hearing me, holler it you hear me

[Repeat Hook]

    Es, todo lo que amí me representa
    el estilo real, tan bestial de los noventa, se concentra
    TE COLOCA COMO EL ORFIDAL,
    tu vida se ve resentida como tu medula espinal
    me hace dudar, mira el final, de forma incredular
    yo te puedo matar romper el bafle sin mas
    tengo habilidad no se desgaste claro que te jodo en traps
    por que nunca me adelantaste yo voy en a todo gas
    no puedes pararme vuelo como un cormorán
    yo te atravieso yo tengo exceso de polvorá
    como va en este estilo yo vengo sin criminal
    un criminal en el binilo vete al juicio ya, verdad
    tengo calidad tremenda solo habilidad comprendas
    una versatilidad que no creo que tu entiendas
    no puede parar este estilo lo ves cabron
    por que no se ofrece en la calle ni tampoco en teletienda
    solo es un estilo criminal en el binilo asesina a todos los que vengan del modo leyenda
    nadie pudo ni nadie podra conmigo
    adios por que soy tu dios mejor que ahora me hagas las ofrendas
    fuck parguela , te mata ramera, desata la fiera, la gran pantera
    eres el gran parguela, que te cargan la pistola y vas pa fuera.
