Swimmin’ Wit’ Sharks

While swimming
Round these sharks
Keep your eyes out
On your heart

Man
That dude is a nosy little boy
All up In my biz
Got me out here yelling
Knowing damn well
I don’t wanna become a felon
One day I know why you like to throw lies
Probably when
I make you take off that disguise
It’ll be fly

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

OK, so now your insecurities
Led you to, uh fuck with me
Trying hold me down baby
Haven’t you heard I’m free

Look at you standing there
Working like a politician
To get on another mission
Screaming peace
On the side of the beast

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

But now, instead of trying to understand me
You look in me in my eyes and try to underhand me

Like Reagan all of a sudden
You can’t remember respect
Alright man, cameras ready
Prepare to get cracked

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

Yeah thats you
You wanted me sitting on the opposite of [?]
Thinking of ways to gain another dollar

And instead of spending time
On yo mind
You stay behind in line man
Cause you blind
You blinded baby

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

Yeah you know he was on the phone
Acting like this here was in the dark
Knowing damn well he’s a shark
Now I will no longer be holding back
Just exposing cats
Who don’t know how to act right
When I’m in their sights

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

Now stop that crying, man
You ain’t the only one dying man
Can’t you see this world is yours as well as mine
Maybe if you get up off your ass
You get on the right path
You don’t [?]

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

See, in ’96 shit wasn’t legit
And fools in was in control
Now its almost ’99
And we about to shine
Some say you were (large?)
I say you were misguided
You let the cash get in your hand
And you got to excited

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

While swimming round these sharks
Keep your eyes out on your heart

Eyes out on your heart

Look at him
Running around
Trying to get me caught up in their mix
Knowing damn well I know them tricks
You know what I’m saying

That one kid said
Try to put my soul in jar and close the lid
He thought I be dead by now
With all my drinking and smoking
He didn’t know
God put me in cause of commotion

(Lets go)

And yes, and yes
I know its all about business
With y’all
And I can forgive this
But please bear witness
What happens
When you try to dis this
You know what I mean
You just like you
You know

Like in the beginning
I was sinning
But now that my eyes are open I’m winning
You know what I mean
Thats just how it is and shit
At least where I come from and where I stand here
Should?) these tears of frustration
Come from the lack of information
These days of frustration
Come from the lack of communication
Thats what its about

With this

I was told when I was young man
People would try to change and vary history
And make your life a mystery

They do that shit
Because psychologically the society is fucked
A lot of people living around here
In fear
Are just STUCK
