[Layzie Bone]
 I been stuck in the struggle
 And I been wonderin' if I'm ever gon' bubble
 I'm gettin' caught up in the dust
 Instead of usin' my muscle
 And everytime I extend my heart to my mother
 Caught up in the game now I'm back up in the hustle
 Sometimes I sit and I wonder
 If a n**** pull my number
 If it wasn't for the Bone Thug fam'
 In this world where nobody don't give a damn
 But I'm still a man
 Got a soul program
 I'm a pump my fist
 I'm stayin' ready for this
 And you can put this on Wish
 I never stayed in ya buis'
 And when I needed a ride
 You wouldn't give me a lift
 And now I'm poppin' my cris
 You n****s all on my dick
 I want to change the world
 You want to change ya life
 I wouldn't a put up a fight
 If I knew it was trite
 They say everything happin' for a reason
 Can you tell me why these n****s bleedin'
 Needin' general a**istance
 Out here needin' public housing
 Out here tryna make ends meet
 Tryna get on their feet
 But see so cloudy
 And I know what you don't know
 You better get on your mission and get down for your dough
 See the real n****s ready out here taken control
 See I'm screamin' out Mo'
 With my pockets on swoll
 Please Mr. Postman, quit bringin' these bills to my house
 Quit bringin' distrust to my spouse
 Casuse I'm ready for the kill on look out, look out
 If you n****s try to run up on the Bone
 I'ma show you like this I'm a pull out my chrome
 I don't want to have to send a n**** home
 Lord please take me home
 Come and take me home

 [Chorus - Phil Collins]
 Take, take me home
 Cause I don't remmeber
 Take, take me home
 Cause I don't remember

 [Krayzie Bone]
 Home, Home, Home, Home, Home
 Home, Home, Home, Home, Home
 Please take me home
 When I'm lookin' at my money now
 Livin' foul
 I was runnin' wild, surviving
 Cause I'm nine-to-five
 And even puttin' overtime if I had to grind
 I was stayin' up, slangin' up, hangin' up on the block
 Duckin' the cops clocked on the night-shift
 Didn't think I'd ever make it out, out, out of the ghetto
 But we finally made it
 Stay dedicated to the music we made yeah
 Now it's on Bone Thug
 Leave alone, came back the next year
 Number one platinum song it blew up from the go
 And what do you know (Oh no)
 Eazy, rest his soul
 Left us in the mess, I don't regret it
 But we better get up and get it, go
 Everything's gon' wrong
 Especially Bone, it never been right
 I knew it woulda been on
 We woulda been tight
 We would of been in the zone ridin' so high
 Up in the game fire, does, lie
 See we used to love makin' music
 We was always in the studio, groovin'
 We kept it movin', we was ready to do it (Right)
 But you know I'm goin' through it
 And ain't feelin this rap thing right now
 They got me trippin' ready to flip
 They got me trippin' ready to come get my chips
 They got me trippin' loadin' the clips
 They trippin', Lord I feel like I'm losin' it right
 Now (Right now, now)

 [Chorus]

 [Bizzy Bone]
 I'll never give in
 I'll never give up
 I'll let 'em live in
 They sinnin'
 They pretend to be tough (Pretend to be tough)
 Pretend to be blessed
 They want money and women, it's never enough
 Hope nobody knows just too much
 You better be good, you know up in the hood it's so,
 We give 'em the dough
 Fired out, laughin' up
 When n****s died, n****s brought around nasty junk
 And to the grave, I been one of the brave
 Not one of the slaves
 And I'll be one of the same, stay hatin' the fake
 On the television runnin' 'round tellin' n****s be ready for hate
 Guard Leathaface and the grin right up under my face
 I steady debate the pain that I bring with hate
 Sweet as the cake, I take another puff and shake
 The smell of right it's all about guarding, guard the weak
 Lost mommy, poppy left home
 I miss Wish' Uncle Charlie
 Sit list in the back tellin' his selection
 His date is probably
 Probably my mommy, song
 Cryin' for the life of you gone
 Just me and my destiny let's roll, let's roll

 [Chorus]

 [Wish]
 When I lost my Uncle Charlie a part of me went wrong
 And it happened when the Bone was comin' up so strong
 We just wanted him to see what we do
 You motivated us at the shows we see too
 And I really hope you live through what we spit on the song
 You might have through somethin' hopin' nothin' like Bone
 Like one said we'll never make it
 Like two, thirty mil in they faces
 Crossed over, back to the hood we souljahs
 The music n**** make it back, scandlous
 But faith kicked in and the world shows and we winnin' now
 Gotta keep it comin' fool in my baby's mouth
 And things have changed like relationships
 Ain't did nothin', now you want to flip
 Suin' people thangs you would've never made on your own
 Now I want to stay, watch thug n****s leave the hood
 Bye, think I'm home
 Stick in the hood, mess with scrubs, it'll all be gone
 You can really help a busta if it ain't meant to be
 Wit a little ooh wee, wit a little ooh wee
 I'm tired of tryin' to help these thugs
 Lord just guide em' home, guide 'em home

 [Chorus]
