Artist: Wu-Tang Clan Album: Wu-Tang Forever Song: A Better Tomorrow [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 case surround the building keep us sealed in The projects, vipers like a vietnam vet Constant war, severe threats of enemy conquest Crooked cops comb my building complex thats in the rumble Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cypher crumble Vivid thoughts, Devils resort to trick knowledge They kick garbage, lets protect them 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 control Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold Not a role model, I walk a hard role 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 They're life and times, deadly like the virus design But too minute, and dilute, the science is mine [Wu-Tang Clan] 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 Cuz your seeds grow up the same way [Masta Killa] A voice cries from the wilderness of the north A representation of the families that lost One, all victims of incarceration Or other divisions of the family structure Youths are injected with syrums that lead To skin irritations, baby's being born with Disfigurations, experimentations On their faces they bear world relations Of mothers that carry the pain Of blood stained streets where sisters mourn and wail Killed brothers been slain from hails of gun fire It lightly begins to rain screams of terror Are hidden by the passing trains This can't be little Shane, his uncle cried As he drops to his nephews side, holding his cane "Just give me a name of who has inflicted this Bit of sickness, and left us to witness" [U-God] Yo, curses from war, innocent blood spills for days Soothe in godly ways, hands, Solomen praised Tree of life, more presses then Wu is golden game The wise self flourish and inherit all the fame Crime visions in my blood got me, locked in prison While we die hard, living people whine about religion, vision Blow, spin, and sin and killing what's bewildering It's a never ending battle with no ending or beginning, listen Zero process, progress, become the hunted America's most wanted, good life flaunted, wanted Some love the speed, some satisfy me Some want to be down, young gun seige, jungle breeze The stronger speed, someone die, someone bleed One flew astray, and then cought my little seed Can it be, the ice have us trife life, made me grab the knife The rightous man would be within these stripes pipes Take in my energy, breath and know the rest The good die young and the hard die best [Wu-Tang Clan] 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 Cuz your seeds grow up the same way Cuz your seeds grow up the same way Cuz your seeds grow up the same way [Rza] Got bitches love dances, and pulling down your pants While your mans on tour, your spending up his advances Your friends ain't shit, all they do is drink, smoke, and suck dick The whole projects is trapped in six You either high school drop-outs, one to three cop outs 15 years old, shorty ass is top out 99 cent bear drink and pussy stinking Fucking so much your ass and titties stark sinking You were on the slave trade, minimum wage, better cage And the devil call in months from nowaday Inside my lab, I'm going mad Took two drags off the blunts, and started breaking down the flag The blue is for the Crypts, the red is for the Bloods The whites for the cops, and the stars come from above Through the slug, that ignites, through the night, by the dawn Early light, why is sons fighting for the stripe [Method Man] As we dwell through this concrete hell, calling it home Mama say, take your time young man and build your own Don't wind up like your old dad Still searching for them glory days he never had So many bad want to scheme for American dream, no more kings The cash rule everything now, we going down These babies looking up to us, it's up to us The Million Man March MC's, get on the bus But envy, greed, lust, and hate, separate Though the devil mind state blood kim cannot relate No longer brothers, we unstable Like King when he slew Able, killing each other [Wu-Tang Clan] 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 Cuz your seeds grow up the same way Cuz your seeds grow up the same way Cuz your seeds grow up the same way
