The Evil That Men Do Lyrics - Soul On Ice: Limited - Ras Kass

Intro 

Psssshh i guess niggaz don't realize a good thing til it's gone 

You know what i'm sayin man? 

Runnin around in these streets trickin shit's hard man 

You know? but sometimes man 

Fools be bringin that shit on they god damn self 

Verse one 

Nappy headed nigga stigmatism at birth 

Born to a family of four and so that makes me one fourth 

Of a dysfunctional home 

I had a father who only stayed to see me grown 

When i turned twelve he was gone 

Alone, no role model 

I used to watch my granddaddy and uncle hit the bottle 

And then hit each other 

Granddaddy beat grandmother, but that's before my time 

But i still see how it affected her mind 

As a child i introverted, and drew pictures 

While my mother prayed to jesus reading king james scriptures 

She used to take me to church so i could put money in the basket 

Tell the preacher how she used to get her ass kicked 

And me, i mastered the art of hatred 

After pops left ran with my niggaz tryin to take shit 

Petty theft, i got caught a few times, but bust it 

Life is a bitch so fuck it 

In eighty-one i remember the night 

I covered myself with baby powder, so my black ass could be light 

Cause god is white, and bo derek is a ten 

I hate my black skin, it's just a sin to be a nigga 

Then again, i'm like the frenchman, cause granny's creole 

And therefore, we're black french people 

So i think it's best if i go to catholic school 

And study under nuns and then i'll be a catholic fool 

Cause none of these cults want none of us up 

And don't none want to see none of us live to be adults, sheeit 

No wonder brothers take lives for red and blue 

It's the evil that men do

Verse two 

Photos 

By the time i hit adolescence and found hair on my nuts 

I grew twelve inches so now it's time to fuck sluts 

Never respected women, just had to keep my dick wet 

Fucked this virgin named lena, i made a bet 

With my homies i could hit it first, then kicked her to the curb 

Til next year, i got a call from my man kurt 

Since i never used jims i left a seed in the earth 

That left a nigga feelin like dirt 

Cause now i'm a father, and got a two-week old daughter 

Ironically, don't even know her name it's a damn shame 

And ol girl never told me she was havin my baby 

The more i thought about, she fuckin played me 

Cause the family's lookin at me like i raped her 

Plus with another fuckin mouth to feed i need paper 

Did a caper, and took my guinness stout to the head 

September 1990, drunk drivin, the light turned red 

Somebody hit from the rear, i hit the brakes 

Then lost control of the steering wheel 

Hit a black camaro and that's all i remember that night 

I woke up to a five-oh flashlight 

The car that i hit had exploded on impact 

One woman escaped, but the driver was trapped, he burned to death 

Manslaughter, off to c-y-a 

Liftin weights in the yard and playin spades all day 

Now i'm eighteen, hit the county in the mix 

"name and last three!" austin, oh-six-six 

By now grandpa went crazy and my uncle had died 

And me i'm at the ranch makin pruno in wayside 

In ninety-three, i got probation 

Searchin for an occupation, cause now i'm pickin restitution, confusion 

I'm lookin at myself and seein every other nigga i knew 

It's the evil that men do
