Wu Tang Clan - Non-Album Songs Lyrics - A Better Tomorrow lyrics

  • [Inspectah Deck]
    Yo, this goes for all my brothers and sisters locked down
    For all my peoples incarcerated, for those who ain't make it

    Yo, in the housing, thousands seen early graves
    Victims of wordly ways, memories stays engraved
    All my live brothers, is locked down with high numbers
    The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die younger
    In this New World the Order slaughter men, women, and children
    Ten feet gates surround the building keep us sealed in
    The projects, lifeless like a vietnam vet
    Constant war, sever threats of enemy conquest
    Crooked cops comb my building complex that's in the rumble
    Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cypher crumble
    Vivid thoughts, Devils resort to trick knowledge
    They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick dollars
    I know the pain the game bring, I did the same thing
    Spaced out in the staircase, performing a sting
    It's hard to keep control, I bless those who seek a scroll
    Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold
    Not a role model, I walk a hard road to follow
    I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels
    The gospel was told, some souls it swallowed whole
    Mentally they fold, and they eventually sold
    their life and times, deadly like the virus design
    but too, minute to dilute, the scientist mind

    You can't party your life away
    Drink your life away
    Smoke your life away
    Fuck your life away
    Dream your life away
    Scheme your life away
    Cause your seeds grow up the same way
