Tried & True

Talk the talk but you don't walk the walk
Backbiters, I can hear them chat
Check yourself man, its bad for your health
Way you talk about everyone else
So they talk the talk
Nuff of them a talk, talk, talk the talk
And if you don't have nothing good to say
Then don't say nothing at all

Spend some time in a deep meditation
Where's the love?
No time for hatred
Talk a big game what a shame
All your friends and your enemies the same
No time for bad intentions
Everybody sees through your dirty disguise
You can't do bad and expect the blessing
Can't preach truth when all you speak lies

Talk the talk but you don't walk the walk
Backbiters, I can hear them chat
Check yourself man, its bad for your health
Way you talk about everyone else
So they talk the talk
Nuff of them a talk, talk, talk the talk
And if you don't have nothing good to say
Then don't say nothing at all

Bad mind, bad bad mind
I see what you're doing with your sweet, sweet time
Bad mind, bad bad mind
Run right away with your bad, bad vibes
That's how it goes but it's tried and true
Everything you do it comes back to you
So if the words that you speak can't keep the peace
You're better off saying nothing

Talk the talk but you don't walk the walk
Backbiters, I can hear them chat
Check yourself man, its bad for your health
Way you talk about everyone else
So they talk the talk
Nuff of them a talk, talk, talk the talk
And if you don't have nothing good to say
Then don't say nothing at all

Well you climb on the backs of your own bredren
Just to get to the top
But still you forgetting
Karma will come to collect
That you can always expect
Karma will come to collect
And this is what you'll get

Talk the talk but you don't walk the walk
Backbiters, I can hear them chat
Check yourself man, its bad for your health
Way you talk about everyone else
So they talk the talk
Nuff of them a talk, talk, talk the talk
And if you don't have nothing good to say
Then don't say nothing at all
