Lyrics:
and your spade and shut your mouth
We wade through the fire til it's out
We wade through the fire
The dogs have been howling at the open door
Sly
Hmm, let me go
To see my family
Please Father let me go
As my mother sleeps
Ooh (life)
I don't know about James Bond but 'round here nobody
Family and friends realize I need em
Stacking stones it feels like Egypt
Writing my thoughts without defenses
I'm lock-jawed thinking bout em I'm
November 17th, underneath the ceilings
Behind the walls of ? thurkill hall?
[verse two - ? ]
This is a family affair, rather a gathering of the brothers
the union's
Don't confuse him
Family affair what a reunion
Style I birthed so proud look
At my juniors
Grey brim go wit the mesh
Patch wit the stitching
Harlem
It was robbed by Frank an' Jesse James
Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
And three children, they were so brave
But that dirty lettle
the green door
Out and the stone's cold
Dart through the arcade, duck past the temple
Sigh at the river, try to be a drifter
Families are crowding
The bonafide buggin' mic
Muggin' steady buggin'
Breakin' backs with stacks and no fear
Solid like stone and the family's sly
Buy and sell, live well and make
they know I got a whole pocket full of stones
[Chorus]
I gotta pocket full of stones
I gotta pocket full of stones
I gotta pocket full of stones
think about if he had what it takes
He thinks about the hood and why he had to escape
And the family he left in that desolate place
It could be you or me
some time for my family
Feel like there's some things I should've long achieved
But I still it want all by any means
Outta time I got no time for no
Bringing them A's and B's in tight
It's a family affair
Even if you aren't aware
The talent stretches
So far
In sourcing
Cause we our sources
Sought after
The bark now commands the trees
The queen is overruled by the bees
Aw yeah, it has a certain je ne sais quoi
Aw yeah, it's a stone cold coup d'état
bet we got some
Busta's discuss us, niggas poppin all the Ying-Yang
Still the Dogg Pound Gang (DPG, Man)
Beats still funky, Beats by the Pound in
liar, tryin to come like you Earth Wind & Fire
Sly Stone picture with a DJ and a Numark mixer
Niggaz on Julius Earving dick, use a 76er fake Sir Nose
that just stand by itself
But like I said
I'm sorry I'm mixed
Rise up from dust to dust
God looked down and said that's enough
He snatched King right
My family has traditions
I've heard them a thousand times
My relatives were not excessively bright
They love to go off on missions
To rather peculiar
Stone cold killers in these Compton streets
One hand on the 9, all eyes on me
Murder, murder
Call 9-1-1, emergency
Hands up in the air for
The bitter taste of Solitude
Plenty people here alone for you to join
The ultimate fortitude
Family and friends will be here when you call them
It's
Here comes one for the ladies
For the ones who love me
To think I thought I could be some kind of family man
I told myself I was straight
But I
want when I will
I never chill, i'm for real
I'm never still with the bill
Boom Bye Bye
God so good I cry
Do it for the family, family stone just like
we built
I hope, that they have better understanding
Check it out
Goin' to work on Monday
Check it out
Got yourself a family
Check it out
All
groupies
In the bitch after all
Fuck one down!
Welcome 2 Da Family
Woke up at 4 am for breakfast "chow" I had
Coffee that was given to me along with some
stone, trust 'em it's hard to keep 'em
A thunderous sound, comes from up under the ground
Do you smell what the Family smokin? We burnin it down
to ash,
