Muddy Waters Lyrics - A Song For You - Bizzy Bone

[Intro: Bizzy] 

Ha ha ha ha, they say start it all over again 

Whatever you goin through it's somebody goin through somethin worse 

Let's do this 

[Chorus: Bizzy Bone] 

And that's life in the city kid 

Everybody ain't gon' make it out the hood (out the hood) 

You wanna flow like Bizzy did 

Just keep the faith, and it's all to the good 

[Bizzy Bone] 

Your girl is cheatin on you, you finna go to jail 

Now you just lost yo' job, yo' house is up for sale 

Your friend just passed away, before you said goodbye 

Your son goin to war, and you still don't know why 

Yo' mom contracted AIDS, and right before she died 

She couldn't speak a word, but she can blink her eyes 

See she was paralyzed, and you so scared to cry 

You wanted to show her your strength, and tell her the Lord provides 

The church is takin money, sellin granny a dream 

She wanna go to heaven, think she can get it with green 

Yo' cousins gettin rich, off of a triple beam 

You see him losin weight, it started off with 'Premes 

It elevated to rocks, and now he's on the pipe 

He used to ride 22's, now cousin ride a bike 

Yo' momma got a man, her man he got a temper 

So he beat you right up, gets drunk and don't remember 

As soon as you go to school, yo' teacher asked "What happened?" 

Your peers they know the story, you say "Ain't nuttin crackin" 

Yo' money's runnin low, and it ain't no welfare 

Remember 'Pac said, "Who in the hell cares?" 

But Bizzy cared for ya, see I can only stare 

These are the muddy waters, that I can see and hear 

See and hear, see and hear, see and hear, see and hear 

See and hear... 

[Chorus - 2X] 

[Bizzy Bone] 

You had you four friends, and y'all grew up together 

On the corner swiggin wines, singin about the ghetto 

Breakin bread, stealin cars, and stayin in trouble 

House parties with the homies and then watchin 'em rumble 

But soon yo' friendship crumbles, as you grow up in life 

You reached the age of 30, and soon forget yo' plight 

What if they blew up, and became the biggest group EVER? 

I guess we'll never know; that's just the way it goes 

Havin high school dreams of turnin pro 

Catch an injury and now the scouts ain't 'round no mo' 

Studyin to be a doctor but get pregnant in school 

You decided to keep yo' child, now you must provide the food 

At the tender age of 50, reachin your golden years 

These are the muddy waters, that I can see and I hear 

Bizzy cared for ya, but baby I can only stare 

These are the muddy waters, that I can see and I hear 

[Chorus - 3X w/ minor variations + ad libs] 

[Outro: Bizzy] 

This for my momma, this for my children 

This for my sister, and Eazy-E 

'Pac, Biggie, Big Pun, Aaliyah, Left-Eye 

Capo rest in peace nigga
