Eye 4 An Eye Lyrics - Singles - Geto Boys

(scarface talkin') 

(scarface & willie d) 

I got a partner who been gone for eleven flat 

And I ain't seen him since he's been gone imagine that 

A young nigga in the hood I grew up in 

Fightin' a battle in the system that no one wins 

And all these niggas' go for bad when they lose friends 

Gettin' impossible to tie up all the loose ends 

My homeboy lost his sista in a car wreck 

He's still alive but through her eyes he done saw her death 

And when he came he was violent 

And when he left she was silent (silent) 

No other way left to describe it 

You tellin niggas keep they heads up you fool you 

When they killin' niggas like they used to 

And ain't no muthafuckin' body fightin' back 

Pretty soon they gon' be hangin blacks (why?) 

Cause niggas won't react we're takin' eye 4 an eye 

And a tomb for tomb do them bitches like they do us 

Cockin' back and shoot 

(chorus #1) 

Lockin' low standin' at the end of the road 

Glocks explode you muthafuckas reap what you sow 

Lock the doors ain't nobody leavin' alive 

At the end of the line we gotta die 

(chorus2) 

That's why we're takin' eye 4 an eye 

And a tooth for tooth 

Do them bitches like they do us 

Cockin' back and shoot 

Lock 'n load standin' at the end of the road 

Rob and loot 

You ride 4 me I ride 4 you 

(verse 2) 

And when you pop them muthafuckas 

You pop them bitches till they stop bleed'n 

I'm coming through and my glock lead'n 

And they stop breathin' 

You tell his muthafuckin mama stop grievin' 

Cause we're not leavin' 

Until she know how to feels to lose a loved one 

Muthafuck' a redneck race 

(fuck that nigga let's slug one nigga) 

Tie the bitch by his ankles to the back of a truck 

Drag his ass till his body parts rip the fuck up 

(chorus #1) 

(verse 3) 

That's why I keep in mind 

peace of mind 

Poverty is structured to destroy 

Everything that it touches 

Leavin' niggas on crunches 

And the whole neighborhood in pain 

We bow our heads and continue to pray 

(chorus #1 + #2) 

(verse 4) 

You disrespect our community when you come around 

Just elicit black ministers to calm us down 

Bitch fuck peace and the police 

Until the bullshit cease it's a war in the belly of the beast 

A neck-turner-learner 

I keep my finger on the fuckin' trigga 

I ain't scared like these other niggas 

Black life bein' lost to you cannibal types 

While you're fightin' over animal rights 

You cannibal wives 

Decapitate 'em like they did do 

And let 'em rot the woods 

Leave em sittin' there for bird food 

It's cold blooded 

Cause we can't get a fair shot 

We're gettin' 20 years for dime rocks 

Three strikes and shit for niggas and the rod doles 

Not for the crack it's all for [? ? ] and I hope (I hope) 

But painfully we're all overcome it 

But ain't no muthafuckin singin' 

You want drama we can bring it 

(willie d) 

Look i'ma say this shit one time and one time only 

We ain't against all white people 

But we are against all white people that's against us 

Fuck all you muthafuckas!! 

(verse 5 & chorus #1 + #2) 

Fuck the jail cells 

Fuck the major ass dogs 

Fuck the chewing tobacco 

Fuck the confederate flag 

And fuck your militias 

Your shotguns in the back of your pickups! 

You cow-herdin, sheep-fuckin, horseback-ridin' 

Berefoot-walkin', tractor-drivin', trailer-parkin' 

Cousin-fuckin', nigga-jew-hatin' 

Redneck racist (you muthafucka!!) 

You muthafuckas are unbelievable 

Y'all talkin' all that shit about go back to Africa 

You weren't talkin' all that shit when we was out there in them fields sweatin' 

' 

Pickin' that cotton for y'all muthafuckin' asses 

We built this muthafucka 

We deserve just as much if not more 

Prosperity then you hoes do 

Angry white men 

Who the fuck you angry with 

You should be angry with your muthafuckin' self 

Because we don't own corporate America 

Y'all do 

Corporate America is 70 % white male Anglo Saxon 

Y'all run the muthafucker 

Y'all took the jobs overseas 

You wanna be mad at somebody 

Be mad at your goddamned self 

But if you wanna get it on we can get it on muthafucka 

Till the break of dawn you understand what I'm sayin'? 

You wanna race war 

You got it 

I ain't scared of you muthafuckas
