What Goes Around (Clean)

Yeah

Ayo, it's poison
-, -, you say it's love, it is poison
Schools where I learned, they should be burned, it is poison
Physicians prescriptin' us medicine which is poison
Doctors injectin' our infants with the poison
Religion misoverstood is poison
- up in my hood be gettin' -, given poison

In hospitals, - riddle the block
Little children and elderly women run for they lives
Drizzlin' rain come out the sky every time somebody dies
Must be out my - mind, what is this, the hundredth time?
Sendin' flowers to funerals, readin', "Rest In Peace"
You know, the usual, death comes in threes
"Life is short" is what some - said
Not if you measure life by how one lives and what he did
And funny how these black - companies is makin' money off us
Fast food, Cola, soda, Skull and Bone crosses

It's all poison
-, -, you say it's love, it is poison
Schools where I learned, they should be burned, it is poison
Physicians prescriptin' us medicine which is poison
Doctors injectin' our infants with the poison
Religion misoverstood is poison
Sisters up in my hood try to do good, given choices

When pregnant, drop out of school or have abortions
Stop workin', hopin' that they find a man that will support them
Up late night, on they mother's cordless
Thinkin' a perm or bleachin' cream will make them better, when they gorgeous
White girls tannin', liposuction
Fake titties are implanted, fake lips, that's life destruction
Light-skinned women, bi-racial, hateful
Toward themselves, denyin' even they blood
I don't judge Tiger Woods, but I
Overstand the mental poison that's even worser than -

Yo, it's poison
-, -, you say it's love, it is poison
Schools where I learned, they should be burned, it is poison
Physicians prescriptin' us medicine which is poison
Doctors injectin' our infants with the poison
Religion misoverstood is poison
Radio and TV, poison
White Jesus, poison
And any thoughts of takin' me down is poison
Who want beef now? My heat shall anoint them, plaow!

Never to worry
All the wrong-doers got it comin' back to 'em a thousand times over
Every dog has its day, and everything flips around
Even the most greatest nation in the world has it comin' back to 'em
Everybody reaps what they sows, that's how it goes
Innocent lives will be taken, it may get worse
But we'll get through it, y'all, be strong

The China-man built the railroad
The Indians saved the Pilgrim
And in return, the Pilgrim - 'em
They call it Thanksgiving, I call your holiday, "Hell-day"
'Cause I'm from poverty, neglected by the wealthy
Me and my - share gifts e'ryday like Christmas
Slay -, and party e'ryday like this is the last
I'm with my heckles, connectin' and we hittin' the lab
This is my level, - if it get you mad

It's all poison
All of my words to enemies, it is poison
Rappers only talk about -, it's all poison
How could you call yourself MC's? You ain't poison
Think about the kids you mislead with the poison
And any thoughts of takin' me down is all poison
Who want beef now? My heat shall anoint them, plaow

What goes around comes around, - -
And what goes up, it must come down, - -
The soldiers found below the ground, - -
Just hold it down, we older now, - -

This - Ike with the Iverson jersey, light-skinned with herpes
- sisters in Harlem, Brooklyn and D.C
This is the problem, 'cause he never tell 'em he got it
From lettin' - - - off, Rikers Island in '93
Drives a Benz, hangs at all the parties
All the concerts, backstage where the stars be
Rockin' they shirts in - faces like clockwork
"What's your name? Where you from?"

Chain blingin', thinkin' girls everywhere is dumb
Takin' pride in ruinin' their lives
So they could never have babies, and they could never be wives

He never used a condom, give him -? He got ya
Met the wrong - and now he dead from the monster AIDS
I contemplate, believin' in karma
Those on top could just break and won't be eatin' tomorrow
I know some - who be sleepin' on - dreams
They leave, when that - blow, she the first - on her knees
Knowin' dudes that's neglectin' they seeds
Instead of takin' care of 'em, they spendin' money on -
I pray for you deadbeat daddies 'cause when them kids get grown
It's too late for you, now you old and you gettin' - on

It's all scientific, mystic, you know, the Earth and the stars
Don't hesitate to say you heard it from Nas
What is destined shall be
George Bush - 'til George Bush - me
Much blessings, be healthy, remember
