Some Of Us Have Angels

Lyrics

Some of us have angels (the kingdom, the power)
 Some of us have angels (the power, the glory)
 Some of us have demons (greed, and lust)
 Some of us have demons (lust, temptation)
 Some of us have angels (the kingdom, the power)
 Some of us have angels (the power, the glory)
 Some of us have demons (greed, and lust)
 Some of us have demons (lust, temptation)
 Now this is you, dressed in all black, fatigue hat, ready for combat
 A good nigga, you don't leave tracks
 A hood nigga wantin' G-stacks, do what you gotta do to get that
 You feel you need that, where the juxs at?
 These are your niggas, creepin' they be leavin' niggas sleep witchu
 Loc' style, quiet no smile, it's the official
 Sometime they grimy, speakin' on they own people
 They snake you if they have to, raised tattoos
 Now these are your bitches, phonin' lonely homie chickens
 All the homies stick 'em, you think you own 'em man, listen
 She stab you in your sleep with a knife from out the kitchen
 Put a root on you, next week they find you missin'
 Dead in your Expedition in the forest, fell off the cliff and
 Tumbled 'til you blew up, Feds told her and she threw up
 Fake bitches, actresses, wicked witch practices
 Two sides of us, negative and positive
 Some of us have angels (the kingdom, the power)
 Some of us have angels (the power, the glory)
 Some of us have demons (greed, and lust)
 Some of us have demons (lust, temptation)
 Some of us have angels (the kingdom, the power)
 Some of us have angels (the power, the glory)
 Some of us have demons (greed, and lust)
 Some of us have demons (lust, temptation)
 Now this is your mom, your good luck charm
 Pushin' you to do no wrong, prayin' for you that you live long
 Nobody kill my baby, but she know her baby crazy
 In and out of jail, mom's screamin', "God take me!"
 This is your pop, chip off the old block that made him
 The man of the house, mom and pops separatin'
 Spittin' image of a gangsta, the way pop walked
 The way pop talked, got older and you thanked him now
 This is your hood, poor folks drugs and robberies
 Turnin' into the things moms wanted you not to be
 Crime followin' the wrong dudes who have no values
 Life's cheap as the dime in the minds of those around you
 This is the test, the stress, the conflict the ups and downs of
 Niggas around you make threats
 They tell you keep it gangsta, no matter the predicament
 Even though your decision won't help you benefit
 Some of us have angels (the kingdom, the power)
 Some of us have angels (the power, the glory)
 Some of us have demons (greed, and lust)
 Some of us have demons (lust, temptation)
 Some of us have angels (the kingdom, the power)
 Some of us have angels (the power, the glory)
 Some of us have demons (greed, and lust)
 Some of us have demons (lust, temptation)
 Now once again this is you, entertainin' your desires
 Bitches, money and guns, aimin' and you fire
 Everyday is grief, if it ain't beef, it's feedin' your seed
 Tryin' to eat? You form material needs
 The weed make your brain sizzle, a pistol make it cool off
 By stickin' up niggas, make them take they jewels off
 His reputation is, bigger than his whole life span
 He never planned to fail, he just failed to plan
 What does it take to realize, Satan's alive, he whispers
 And any chance he get, he can take niggas
 He comes in all shapes and sizes, his best disguise is
 When he stand beside us, but God is inside us, within me
 You are your worst enemy - my mom's words echo in my head
 And if I let go I'm dead
 He stepped at my door, the takes motivate my spirit
 An out of body experience, so now I feel it
 Lookin' at my blessings, the bullets - that missed me coulda hit me
 Them court cases coulda put me in the penitentiary
 I never hate, that's just wasted energy
 The past is gone, the present's a gift, so what's the mystery?
 The future - and time only reveals, what fear is
 False expectations, appearin' real
 We only human, love thy neighbor, so I was told
 And I will 'til permanently, my eyes are closed
 Some of us have angels (the kingdom, the power)
 Some of us have angels (the power, the glory)
 Some of us have demons (greed, and lust)
 Some of us have demons (lust, temptation)
 Some of us have angels (the kingdom, the power)
 Some of us have angels (the power, the glory)
 Some of us have demons (greed, and lust)
 Some of us have demons (lust, temptation)
