    WHEN CAIN was ABLE(THE STORY OF COCAINE)

    Do what I do
    See what I see
    Ain't gonna let Satan
    Get a hold of D'ee
    My people fought 2 long
    So I could be free
    Gotta kick this ..ish with intensity

    From the jungles of Peru
    Bolivia and Ecuador
    Came a plant
    That would supplant
    Her-ron
    Weed and %#&@$!s
    Originally used by Indians
    4 medicinal use
    Or when trackin thru the jungle
    A quick energy boost
    Then
    In 1859
    A German mind
    Discovered a method 2
    Exact
    The extract
    From coca leaves
    Forming a base
    The birth of
    COCAINE
    Gave Coca-Cola
    Its taste
    In 1914
    It was heavy on the American scene
    So laws were passed
    Cuz whites thought it made
    Black men mean
    Damn
    Ain't it a trip
    It wasn't about the addictive rip
    Just white men bein
    Afaid black men
    Would take their women and flip
    Like Prohibition supplied lyrics
    2 the Bootlegger's Song
    In 1970 laws were passed
    2 right a wrong
    But more difficult 2 find
    Becomes easier 2 sell
    So
    COCAINE
    Helped facilitate
    The rise of hell
    2 be specific
    It's sientific
    C-17, H-21, NO-4
    Will make ya git high son and fiendin 4 more
    Menthyl-3, menthyl-8
    Azabicyclo, octane
    And carboxylate
    A stimulant of the nervous system
    An appetite supressant
    A topical anesthetic
    In da Hood
    Omni-present
    COCAINE
    Hydochloride
    Spawin modern day
    Bonnie and Clyde's
    Drive by shootin
    And membranes fried
    But
    WAIT UP
    COCAINE ya gotta cut
    Can't ingest it pure
    Can use baking soda, lactose,lidocaine
    From grocery stores
    JUMP BACK
    It's a bird
    It's a bat
    Naahhhh
    It's me CRACK
    A lower purity form
    Now in 2010
    Pretty much the norm
    From up noses
    2 suckin on Love Roses
    The high is swift
    Cats of all colors
    Gettin hight on Satan's Gift
    So
    There U have it
    From plant
    2 paste
    2 the paper chase
    Entire communities lay
    In waste
    MATE DE COCA
    The coca leaf infusion
    Don't want any body
    Under any illusions
    Proof is in the Hood
    So let's put it on the table
    Murder rates
    Started 2 inflate
    When
    CAIN was ABLE

    Peace...D'ee
