Bone Thugs-N-Harmony — Debt to Society

[Chorus: Thin C] Don't you be blinded Don't believe everything that they're writin', it's only one-sided You still wanna punish me when I paid my debt back to society? Why they lie on me? [Verse 1: Flesh-N-Bone] First off, I'ma set the record straight so won't you lend me your eardrum Nobody need to wonder where the hunger come from It's full of thunder when it rumble, Stack don't fear none Got 'em back on the track after so many years When I was judged by twelve of my peers That's bullshit they have your life in the hand of strangers Now you can add up all the tattoo tears Still doin' what I feel I gotta do, dawg, that's number one priority I never been the ordinary I put the extras on it, they call a nigga minority They said I was a lost cause Been in and out the system, doors revolved I should of been thinkin', I shouldn't been drinkin' so much 'Cause problems alcohol never could solve Drop my drawers, on top of the roof clownin' Had to talk down on 'em, give a nigga hassle, harassin' I'm livin' in my castle The blast sound off, keep smashin', poundin' on 'em In the mornin' arrested with a hell of a story to tell Took half of a million, post bail Fuck it, had to put it all up for sale While society got us caught up in structural violence So, when the table is turned, we fed up so we uprise Set it off like an L.A. wildfire, burn, baby Burn as the globe turns 'til it's over, ain't no slackin' Smack me, I'ma smack you back And it gets worse if we start pullin' out debt [Chorus: Thin C] Don't you be blinded Don't believe everything that they're writin', it's only one-sided You still wanna punish me when I paid my debt back to society? Why they lie on me? [Verse 2: Krayzie Bone] Everybody wanna know how the greatest is underrated There's never been another more imitated than Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, Wish, Flesh, truly amazin' Here to stay and ain't nobody that can move me or sway me Like a deadly disease, I'm really hella contagion You better stay away or you'll catch the innovation Less the limitation, stretched the litigation Keepin' my situations heated with complication I'm tryna tell 'em how to know I paid my dues A lot of other rappers couldn't walk a day in my shoes Stayed in my shoes to call them my street blues I pity the fool that try to stop these trues Now they see me comin', runnin' at 'em, doin' a hundred I want it, I need every dollar bill, y'all All the debt paid up Even write the check to myself, pay us Yes, I'm takin' it all [Bridge: Thin C] Got a call just the other day Heard what the media had to say They don't know about me Nothing's gonna stop me from climbin' And I know, they twist the things I do and say And try to get my soul to break I'll keep risin' to the top Give it all I've got, I'm a fighter [Chorus: Thin C] Don't you be blinded Don't believe everything that they're writin', it's only one-sided You still wanna punish me when I paid my debt back to society? Why they lie on me?

That nigga fuckin' with you Then let me tell you who you fuckin' with too Now let me show how we do See stack can't lose and the devil's bad news Man, fuck these shoes and the county blues Everybody wanna do it like Zeus I came to get loose I came to get raw I came to get seen With death or no truce That's gon' be the truth That's gon' be the rule I'm in my body ready to die Forever with you, I'm bailin' with you You ready to kill, I'm ready to ride I'll deal with my pride if my dreams come true Platinum still, and that's for Will and that's for real And that's the last kill Last time niggas ever see me chillin' in the body Give me my shotty, I gotta get both of his dues Now let me slide to the other side with all of my troops I keep rex with the boots, and my nigga recoups Who will I write to? I done mentioned the pilin' [?] That I got to pay my debt to society [Chorus: Thin C] Don't you be blinded Don't believe everything that they're writin', it's only one-sided You still wanna punish me when I paid my debt back to society?
