A better tomorrow lyrics

Artist  : Wu tang clan 
Song : A better tomorrow
 
[Inspectah Deck]
Yo, this goes for all my brothers and sisters
locked down
For all my peoples incarcerated, for those who
ain't make it

Yo, in the housing, thousands seen early graves
Victims of wordly ways, memories stays engraved
All my live brothers, is locked down with high
numbers
The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die
younger
In this New World the Order slaughter men, women,
and children
Ten feet gates surround the building keep us
sealed in
The projects, lifeless like a vietnam vet
Constant war, sever threats of enemy conquest
Crooked cops comb my building complex that's in
the rumble
Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cypher
crumble
Vivid thoughts, Devils resort to trick knowledge
They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick
dollars
I know the pain the game bring, I did the same
thing
Spaced out in the staircase, performing a sting
It's hard to keep control, I bless those who seek
a scroll
Trying to reach a whole nation and break the
sleeper hold
Not a role model, I walk a hard road to follow
I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and
novels
The gospel was told, some souls it swallowed
whole
Mentally they fold, and they eventually sold
their life and times, deadly like the virus
design
but too, minute to dilute, the scientist mind

You can't party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way

[Masta Killa]
A voice cries from the wilderness of the North
A representation of the families that lost one
all victims of incarceration
Or other divisions of the family structure
Youths are injected with serums that leads
to skin irritations, babies being born with
disfigurations, experimentations
On their faces there bear world relations
of mothers that carry the pain
of blood stained streets where sisters mourn and
wail
Fifth brothers been slain from hails of gun fire
It lightly begins to rain screams of terror
are hidden by the passing trains
This can't be little Hussein, his uncle cried
As he drops to his nephew's side, holding his
cane
Just give me a name, of who has inflicted this
bitter sickness, and left us to witness

[U-God]
Yeah, yo
Curses from war, innocent blood spills for days
Soothe in godly ways, hands, solemn in praise
Tree of life, more precious than Wu is golden
game
The wise self flourish inherit, Halls of Fame
Crime visions in my blood got me, locked in
prison
While we die hard living people whine about
religion, vision
Blow, spin, and sin and killing what's revealing
It's a never ending battle with no ending or
beginning, listen
Zero process, progress, become the hunted
America's most wanted, good life flaunted, want
it
Some love the speed, some satisfy a need
Some want to be down, young gun seed, jungle
breed
The strong must feed, someone die, someone bleed
One flew astray, and then caught my little seed
Can it be, the ice have us trife life, made me
grab the knife
The righteous man would be within these stripes
pipes
Take in my energy, breath and know the rest
Cause the good die young and the hard die best

You can't party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way

[RZA]
Y'all bitches love dances, and pulling down your
pants
while your man's on tour, your spending up his
advances
Your friends ain't shit, all they do is drink,
smoke, and suck dick
The whole projects is trapped in stench
You either high school drop-outs, one to three
cop-outs
Fifteen years old, shorty ass and top out
Ninety-nine cent beer drinking pussy stinking
Fucking so much your ass and titties start
shrinking
New World Order slave trade, minimum wage,
Medicaid
Can a devil fool a Muslim nowadays
Inside my lab, I'm going mad
Took two drags off the blunts, and started
breaking down the flag
The blue is for the Crips, the red is for the
Bloods
The whites for the cops, and the stars come from
the clubs
or the slugs that ignites, through the night, by
the dawn
Early light, why is sons fighting for the stripe

[Method Man]
As we dwell through this concrete hell, calling
it home
Mama say, take your time young man and build your
own
Don't wind up like your old dad
Still searching for them glory days he never had
So many bad want to scheme for American dream, no
more kings
The cash rule everything now, we going down
These babies looking up to us, it's up to us
The Million Man March MC's, get on the bus
But envy, greed, lust, and hate, separate
Though the devil mind state blood kin cannot
relate
No longer, brothers, we unstable
Like Kane when he slew Abel, killing each other

You can't party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
