Nappy Roots - Work In Progress Lyrics
[Intro, spoken: B Stille]Wise words being spokeHuhY'all know what it isNap-Nappy Roots. Can I start this one off? Ok[Verse One-B. Stille]Each day I listen what the streets sayLike a DJ my negroes scratch ghetto recordings, for my peoplesGot the eyes of an eagle, can't see us ever being at peace for a reasonCause we ain't never being equalAnd got us believing we heathens, uncivil soldiers of evilReach up and assume the position, you know the procedureCan't even leisure smoke hollow reeferWith out police and search and seizure by the same police who murdered CeaserIt's brutalSeeing them treat us like lower creatures than human beingsMore so like aliensTouring the land of EuropeansSeeming to have the tendency to think we ignorantCause of our pigment, can't take away a nigga's dignity thoughStill I pimp the industry hoeAnd even when I'm rich I'm a pretend to be poorMy life's a work in progress, soon to be end of the roadBut I don't stress cause I have been her before, you know[chorus]My life's a work in progress(and even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor)My life's a work in progress(but I don't stress cause I have been here before)My life's a work in progress(and even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor)My life's a work in progress(but I don't stress cause I have been here before)[Verse two-Ron Clutch]In lifeEvery step you takeEvery right every left you makeYou can look at it like chess in a wayCause life is best when you take your timeDon't make a move, unless you done made up your mindPlay by the rules
