The Evil That Men Do Lyrics by Ras Kass

The Evil That Men Do Lyrics


    Intro

    Psssshh, i guess niggaz don't realize a good thing til it's gone
    You know what i'm sayin man?
    Runnin around in these streets trickin, shit's hard man
    You know? but sometimes man
    Fools be bringin that shit on they god damn self

    Verse one

    Nappy headed nigga stigmatism at birth
    Born to a family of four and so that makes me one-fourth
    Of a dysfunctional home
    I had a father who only stayed to see me grown
    When i turned twelve he was gone
    Alone, no role model
    I used to watch my granddaddy and uncle hit the bottle
    And then hit each other
    Granddaddy beat grandmother, but that's before my time
    But i still see how it affected her mind
    As a child i introverted, and drew pictures
    While my mother prayed to jesus reading king james scriptures
    She used to take me to church so i could put money in the basket
    Tell the preacher how she used to get her ass kicked
    And me, i mastered the art of hatred
    After pops left ran with my niggaz tryin to take shit
    Petty theft, i got caught a few times, but bust it
    Life is a bitch so fuck it
    In eighty-one i remember the night
    I covered myself with baby powder, so my black ass could be light
    Cause god is white, and bo derek is a ten
    I hate my black skin, it's just a sin to be a nigga
    Then again, i'm like the frenchman, cause granny's creole
    And therefore, we're black french people
    So i think it's best if i go to catholic school
    And study under nuns and then i'll be a catholic fool
    Cause none of these cults want none of us up
    And don't none want to see none of us live to be adults, sheeit
    No wonder brothers take lives for red and blue
    It's the evil that men do

    Chorus

    But every nigga on my block
    Can't stop, and he won't stop, and he don't stop (repeat 4x)

    Interlude

    Nigga, nigga wake yo' punk ass up nigga!
    Nigga *smack* *smack* wake yo', wake yo' punk ass up!! *siren*
    (where the fuck we at?) *helicopter*
    Nigga, one time nigga
    (man i feel strange man, and i'm fin to go man)
    Shit, i'ma get you out, shit, bitches man)
    (fuck that shit man, nigga what the fuck am i gonna do man?) *siren*
    We go make another gold lp nigga stop trippin nigga
    Nigga we own a gold lp, nigga stop trippin!

    Verse two

    By the time i hit adolescence and found hair on my nuts
    I grew twelve inches so now it's time to fuck sluts
    Never respected women, just had to keep my dick wet
    Fucked this virgin named lena, i made a bet
    With my homies i could hit it first, then kicked her to the curb
    Til next year, i got a call from my man kurt
    Since i never used jims i left a seed in the earth
    That left a nigga feelin like dirt
    Cause now i'm a father, and got a two-week old daughter
    Ironically, don't even know her name it's a damn shame
    And ol girl never told me she was havin my baby
    The more i thought about, she fuckin played me
    Cause the family's lookin at me like i raped her
    Plus with another fuckin mouth to feed i need paper
    Did a caper, and took my guinness stout to the head
    September 1990, drunk drivin, the light turned red
    Somebody hit from the rear, i hit the brakes
    Then lost control of the steering wheel
    Hit a black camaro and that's all i remember that night
    I woke up to a five-oh flashlight
    The car that i hit had exploded on impact
    One woman escaped, but the driver was trapped, he burned to death
    Manslaughter, off to c-y-a
    Liftin weights in the yard and playin spades all day
    Now i'm eighteen, hit the county in the mix
    "name and last three!" austin, oh-six-six
    By now grandpa went crazy and my uncle had died
    And me i'm at the ranch makin pruno in wayside
    In ninety-three, i got probation
    Searchin for an occupation, cause now i'm pickin restitution, confusion
    I'm lookin at myself and seein every other nigga i knew
    It's the evil that men do

    Chorus

    Chorus (to fade)
