[00:00.00]Family Business - Fugees
[00:08.66]Ha ha
[00:10.60]Where I was born nothing is promised
[00:11.91]My life is filled with less hope
[00:13.72]Than the prophecies of nostradamus
[00:14.72]
[00:15.69]Omega marks the ending of predictability birth of agility
[00:18.44]Who will it be to test me and expose their futility
[00:21.19]Iron like a lion from zion stop trying so hard
[00:24.01]I think I smell your brain cells fryin
[00:25.89]The family's behind you if you're worthy
[00:28.01]Philosophies developed deep in the back streets of dirty jersey
[00:31.52]Troops with scully hats and timberland boots
[00:33.77]No more break dancing for loot
[00:35.58]Niggas hustle and shoot
[00:36.58]In the garden state it grows stink weeds and criminals
[00:39.33]Government funds are minimal
[00:41.20]Oppression's subliminal
[00:42.27]These days it's hard for we to find peace of mind
[00:44.83]Between insanity and sanity there lies a thin line
[00:47.59]Some dwell in hotels with jezebels
[00:49.71]A stone age and fall a victim to the plague
[00:52.83]Unclean bad dreams of wyclef being a fiend
[00:55.64]One last kiss from my sweet serpentine
[00:57.99]
[00:58.61]Eliminate then break
[00:59.55]Navigate to rejuvenate thoughts of suicide with my nickel plate
[01:03.37]Reconcilation came from my enemy friend
[01:05.99]Who said family don't bend
[01:07.48]We stay silent till the end
[01:09.17]Now who would think that your best friend
[01:11.11]Would be your worst enemy and your enemy your best friend
[01:13.92]Stare into the air inspiration from the atmosphere
[01:16.86]I think of old ghosts that ain't even here
[01:19.54]Like alex haley take notes on this biography
[01:21.98]My family tree consists of street refugees
[01:24.48]A ghetto land where we talk slang
[01:27.29]Stolen cars bang like my chitty bang bang sh bang
[01:30.06]For the heads we ain't selling coc*ine today
[01:32.74]So refrain and let my family reign okay
[01:35.37]Just walking the streets death can take you away
[01:37.94]It's never guaranteed that you'll see the next day
[01:40.50]At night the evil armies of shaton don't play
[01:43.06]So defend the family that's the code to obey
[01:45.68]But if I fall asleep and death takes me away
[01:48.37]Don't be surprised son I wasn't put here to stay
[01:51.25]At night the evil armies of shaton don't play
[01:53.68]So the family sticks together and we never betray
[01:56.37]Nah f**k that
[01:57.18]Fifty two pick up no cops around
[01:59.06]Fifty two thousand in cash I don't want no savings bonds
[02:01.99]Have the money ready I smell something fishy
[02:04.62]Your wife's in my custody
[02:06.00]One false move and you'll find her body in the sea
[02:07.99]That's the voice of the kid that's the kidnapper
[02:10.12]I do my work and then I catch my ticket to jamaica
[02:12.87]Meet me in the alley make sure you bring the money
[02:15.49]This ain't the seventies I'm far from a jive turkey
[02:18.12]My circle it can't be broken
[02:19.55]Open cut throatin' provokin
[02:20.74]Record promotin tokens choking on they words like smoke and
[02:23.37]Cause we soft spoken doesn't mean that we've forgotten
[02:25.49]Your bootie smells rotten and one day you will be gotten
[02:28.05]See joker's is scatter brained their focus is unrestrained
[02:30.99]My army is trained you never find us beefing in vain
[02:34.00]
[02:35.00]Cause I've seen fire and I've seen rain
[02:37.25]You claim fame while modest niggas remain
[02:38.82]I can judge a character like ito judge a verdict
[02:40.62]And if you bringin' threats I give you sex if I ain't heard it
[02:43.88]See poppin' s's about your attitude and how you word it
[02:46.44]I've seen the biggest niggas on the block get murdered
[02:48.69]And they deserverd it
[02:50.00]Or so the beast said when they served it
[02:51.93]That s is nervous
[02:52.75]So what's my purpose

[03:25.80]Sending signals with the blunt smoke
[03:27.36]Ock don't talk a lot if you can't hold it in lock
[03:29.79]If you think lips sink ships
[03:31.29]Imagine full glock clips

[03:33.92]Getting milks by the carton
[03:35.11]Extorting the light weights for thinking they important
