Sapphires Lyrics

(Hook x2)
They want me to quit
But I will neva fold, no, I will neva go
I could be used to the feelin'
Defeat and failure, I'm fo' sure I'll be winnin'

(Verse)
As the sun goes down and the darkness arives
We in the depths of the slums, turning water to wine
Laughin' with the jackals as they torture the swine
Anotha blood sacrifice, but you ain't offer it down
We born to survive, lil piggie, this ain't Lord of the Flies
Prolly blow out yo brains just to border yo mind
The America dream always start with a crime
But everything the glitterin' shit, cause it sparkle and shine
They cut yo heart off and watch you eat it off from they knife
We speak a secret in the peep, but they distorted the rhymes
But I deader than chicken skins, my faction is ?
Hungry as an immigrant, so even if they ain't gon' let me have it
Man, they givin' it, really make no difference
The message is subliminal, shit
They keep the populars numb, manufacturers crack cocaine
And droppin' the guns, won't you star satellite
Just to watch from above as we kill for pennies and conquer for crumbs
Fire born, fire crum, y'all should be rockin' wid us
'stead of VH-1 reality soap opera does
The whole system and government, the cops is corrupt
So why the fuck they the ones lockin' us up?
(Pap, pap, pap-pap, pap)
(Pap, pap, pap-pap, pap)

(Hook x2)
They want me to quit
But I will neva fold, no, I will neva go
I could be used to the feelin'
Defeat and failure, I'm fo' sure I'll be winnin'

(Verse 2)
They're sayn I ain't nothin' nice just cause I don't shut and drive
And I don't cool just to be cool with the dumb and blind
Say what y'all want, just miss me with the fuckin' lies
Cause life's a mean bitch, I'm in between her thunder thighs
They quick to buck-formize, and just like Paj, you took the shines
Can't keep the slums alive, still year around it's summertime
Them boys is fast asleep, there really ain't no lullabies
Just guns and ? slicin' up their ?
Nobody care, they seen this shit a hundred times
Nobody care, they done seen this shit a hundred times
So stay malevolent and catch me on that glassy gnome(?)
Thinkin' he a man? Trust him like a sassy hoe
Straight investment, y'all really tradin' cash for gold
Gettin' shredded and the devil gave me half yo soul
Take that shit and shove it in yo ass
Or hold, you gettin' (gun shot), that's why you'll be the last to know
