Gang Starr Lyrics of the 2 Deep track

Verse One


 


 I'm 2 deep and yes much too complicated


 my lines when stated are quite often underrated


 so consider it a privilege to hear this


 those weak-minded opinions could never come near this


 for my outlook on life is a profound view


 whil the suckers act down thinking that they sound new


 only a few sound true


 me and the crew know who


 cuz you see me and the fellas have been waiting for a while now


 giving you the time to get your wack-ass style down


 you punks pop junk as if life is a fantasy


 knowing that hard is something you can't be


 so you front but you could never call my bluff


 cuz you'll catch hell you'll get dealt with


 


 Chorus


 


 I never sleep


 I always peep


 rhymes creep


 I'm 2 Deep


 I'm 2 Deep....


 


 Verse Two


 


 I forgive you sike I'm takin' your life


 cuz you continue to disrespect so I'ma get trife


 but then again I think I'll spare ya


 cuz I know tht all it takes one rhyme just to scare ya


 see I'm the holder of the key 


 don't ask me if I'm Muslim don't say nothin' to me 


 I said I was raised like one son I had two cousins 


 they pushed me to find myself or else they knew I wasn't


 gonna make it and then end up a statistic


 my life was twisted I almost missed it


 the chance yes the chance to make you feel good


 I used to steal goods and fake my parents out real good


 but now I got K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E of self cuz I'm me


 and the nation of Islam has my support 


 cuz they try to reeducate the ones who are lost


 and the 5 percent nation takes other steps


 to get through to brothers on the corners with the reps


 and in the prison they give the brothers new visions


 of how we can gain wealth gain self esteem  and dream


 of a total different scene I dress clean, stand lean 


 say what I mean and I'm out


 like a scout on a new route exhibitting clout


 


 Chorus


 


 Verse Three


 


 for right now yo my religion is rhyming


 perfect timing test the flow and climb in


 Ansaar, Sunnite, Sheite, Jihad


 all must regard the times are hard


 unite or perish


 is the message I cherish


 that goes for my people of all religions


 if we're all black why have so many divisions


 superficial factors are drawing us apart 


 don't let it happen


 let's put some respect back in


 so before I act I think cuz it's the brink of destruction


 word corruption what's up son your gun is just one


 and I just might have one 


 or two or maybe even three or four


 and plus an army of 100 or more


 but violence is never my first choice


 I come in peace to release the effect of my voice


 


 Chorus
