    LEFT FOOT RIGHT?

    Kick it real
    Real as rain and just as wet....

    Sittin here looking at old falimy photographs
    I smile
    begin 2 laugh
    and then I start 2 cry
    really, I don't know why

    Embrace my Sister Friend
    man I don't know where 2 begin
    is this feeling virtuous
    or maybe incestuous?

    I've got a
    left foot into Heaven
    a right foot into Hell
    the preachers
    and righteous teachers
    hitting me up with a story 2 sell
    I'm hearin church bells
    oh wait,
    is that my death knell?

    Listening 2 a caustic message
    from my ex
    left me kinda vex
    am I upset?
    don't really know what 2 say
    do I ignore it and chill in the light
    or become the reincarnation of O.J.?

    Late last night I crossed
    the Crossroad when I saw
    a homeless cat tryin 2 sleep
    do I drop a fin and pray his soul 2 keep
    or take a brick and break
    his M---TH---F---KIN feet?!?

    Whew!!!
    I gotta left foot into Heaven
    Right foot into Hell
    the preachers
    and righteous teachers
    hittin me up with a story 2 sell
    I'm hearin church bells
    oh wait,
    is that my death knell?

    Motha Mary
    don't you pray for me
    remove my bones from the Reliquary
    grind them into the dust from where I be
    toss them into my destiny
    only thing I'm certain of is....
    UNCERTAINTY

    so,
    don't pick me up
    if you beating me down
    don't hug me in a crowd
    and kick my A--S when no one's around
    don't call me your Brother
    if you making time wit my Ex
    don't plot my demise undercover
    look me in the eyes when you shoot me
    I deserve that much respect
    don't pray for my soul
    in there is a hole
    in yours
    don't diss my poisoned pen
    if you have the smell of death
    oozing from your pores
    enough talking
    I gotta keep walking
    be'cuz

    I've got my
    left foot into Heaven
    Right foot into Hell
    the preachers
    and righteous teachers
    hittin me up with a story 2 sell
    I'm hearin the church bells
    oh wait,
    is that my death knell?


    real as rain...and just as wet..
    like tears...like fears...
    who's gonna protect me...from me?
    2 tears in a bucket
    F--CK IT!!!
