The Have Nots (Truth Crushed To Earth Shall Rise Again/ 1996)

Here come the...here come the, here come the pain (pain)...x4 
Uplift your soul 
Get your house in order 
Mc’s be actin’ like they walkin’ on water 
I’ll break ya down like a poem wrote in hyku 
Who you gonna lie to 
Before I crucify you 
Hammer to the nails 
My face impailen’ 
My acid flashbacks got everything trailin’ 
I’m sailen blind on the open sea 
Like an overload of coatahacian refugees 
And I’m on my knees 
My face on the rug 
One more frustration for my salvation 
My jinns buggin up 
Got me [bad word]  up 
Callin’ my flesh 
But my sole wouldn’t mesh 

[chorus] 
So lick a shot when I heat up the spot 
I’m taking from the have’s 
’cause to be the have nots 
Lick a shot when I heat up the spot 
Boy, where you gonna run when the gun get hot 
So lick a shot when I heat up the spot 
I’m taking from the have’s 
’cause to be the have nots 
Lick a shot when I heat up the spot 
Boy, where you gonna run when the gun get hot 

Here come the...here come the...here come the pain...x4 
I got the pressures of the world comin’ down all around me 
I thought I was lost but thank God you found me 
I’m gettin’ crazy ideas of suicide 
Lord I tried...lord I tried 
To make the best of what I got 
I keep on takin’ my shots 
From the critics and the media 
That’s what it be to ya 
But you can stick it where the sun don’t shine 
’cause I’m goin for mine 
I rock it all the time 
Here come the pain 

[chorus] 
Well in the race for rats that be holdin’ gats 
I’ll run the hustle on the legend like minnesota fats 
Not domino cause your wisdom found at thrill 
Drunk on strawberry hill the episode be re-runnin’ 
Over and over, and three times a lady 
She said peep the scene at the end I ain’t shady 
But, you and me be hush hush 
The word be mush 
If you take the low pro 
I’ll still give you some 
’cause I got a man and he pays my bills 
Keeps my wears real fly and hooks my hair and nails 
Baby don’t sweat it...baby keep calm...baby don’t worry I be vietkong 
I can live three days on a bowl of rice and a piece of fish 
I’ll grant your every wish 

[chorus]
