[00:00.00] Work In Progress ()-Nappy Roots
[00:02.814] Wise words bein'spoke huh y'all know what it is
[00:14.851] Nap nappy roots can I start this one off okay
[00:20.209] Each day I listen what the streets say
[00:22.162] Like a DJ my negroes scratch ghetto recording's
[00:24.881] For my peoples got the eyes of an eagle
[00:26.729] Can't see us ever bein'at peace for a reason 'cause we ain't
[00:29.337] Never bein'equal they got us believin'we heathens uncivil soldiers
[00:32.551] Of evil reach up and assume the position
[00:34.678] You know the procedure
[00:35.670] Can't even leisure smoke hollow reefer without police
[00:38.233] And search and seizure by the same police who murdered creaser
[00:40.622] It's brutal
[00:41.325] Seein'them treat us like lower creatures than human beings more
[00:44.103] So like aliens tourin'the land of Europeans
[00:46.439] Seemin'to have the tendency to think we ignorant
[00:48.735] 'Cause of our pigment can't take away
[00:50.583] A niggas dignity though still I pimp the industry hoe and even when
[00:54.504] I'm rich I'm a pretend to be poor
[00:56.256] My life's a work in progress soon to be
[00:58.120] End of the road but I don't stress cause I have been her before
[01:00.793] You know
[01:01.514] My life's a work in progress
[01:04.279] And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor
[01:06.636] My life's a work in progress
[01:09.513] But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before
[01:11.937] My life's a work in progress
[01:14.537] And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor
[01:16.993] My life's a work in progress
[01:19.769] But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before
[01:22.97] In life every step you take every right every left you make
[01:25.532] You can look at it like chess in a way 'cause life is best when
[01:28.953] You take your time don't make a move unless you done made up
[01:32.96] Your mind play by the rules don't ever play the fool
[01:34.687] Sometimes you play and lose but you still pay your dues
[01:37.292] Come on
[01:37.869] Everybody knows the cost to be the boss
[01:39.759] Yeah the price is kind of steep but sacrifice is never cheap
[01:42.351] I learned that life can be sweet
[01:43.743] And bitter at the same time it's the ying verse the yang
[01:46.327] Sorta like rain without shine
[01:47.447] Sometimes against the grain you grind
[01:48.928] Gotta grit your teeth and bear it
[01:50.232] Matthew 5verse 5the earth the meek shall inherit
[01:52.957] Cherish the day before you perish away 'cause who can say
[01:55.781] How many days your power last
[01:57.461] It's like a crack in your hourglass
[01:59.625] In a flash the hours pass
[02:01.505] Then you're gone gone gone
[02:03.545] My life's a work in progress
[02:05.417] And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor
