Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Naughty By Nature or about the 2000s in general.
Sometimes because of jealousy and the intent to demise
Certain factions have to be forbidden or destroyed
Fire has to be sent to the poisoned forest
With the root of fresh trees planted elsewhere
Only then will you obtain a wilderness
That cannot be penetrated, petrified family tree
See what started as a family forest
Got cut to a family tree with the limbs
And the leaves looking’ at the world for answers
The world points to the sun and the sun says
The answers in me, so I search through the darkness
Can’t find the key so we locked in the land of the lost
Lord, please tomorrow ain’t promised to you nor me
So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees
Many minds always meet with pens and sheets
Close my eyes, think what next on my rhymes
See this face in ink, I’m havin’ visions of wisdom
Dreamin’ ’bout my own ending
Am I seein’ death as freedom and livin’ as prison
My son didn’t have a daddy to shape him so
God bless him with a daddy to save him
Yeah I raise him and pay some attention
He talked and he listened to reach him and teach him
Before I’m gone from existence
Teach him ’bout the foes, the hos and all opponents
Those that always talk ’bout love but never showed it
Those who had the chances to stand and always blowed it
Those that set you up by the hour to steal your moment
Pac the word is you ain’t there so fuck the rumor
I’ll get a pound of that shit from Bermuda
And meet you in Cuba
Fucked up on Larusa no doubt, I know the locale
If they gotta born you, I’m gonna mourne you ’til I join you
See what started as a family forest
Got cut to a family tree with the limbs
And the leaves looking’ at the world for answers
The world points to the sun and the sun says
The answers in me, so I search through the darkness
Can’t find the key so we locked in the land of the lost
Lord, please tomorrow ain’t promised to you nor me
So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees
Uhh and now I know I got some family
Who missed me from the heart, forever we’re apart
Just because I’m nothin’ and you abuse me and use me
Now you wanna try to come bruise me
And even though maybe were in there
Farther than it once was I know family don’t always
Mean that they blood ’cause some people just
Don’t give a nigga what some people tried to use my name
So all the fat we had to cut and I’m still
Walking with my six amp strut
Urban eyes see through camouflage
And now I know who’s butt
So when I sent you tried to play me
All of a sudden now I’m shady
Maybe deep down in my heart
Never trust you from the start
Never hoped you’d be my homie, don’t come ’round my way
And if we never speak again, it’s got to be that way
This millennium, we’ll be spankin’ your heiny
Remind thee naughty invented family of the 90’s
See what started as a family forest
Got cut to a family tree with the limbs
And the leaves looking’ at the world for answers
The world points to the sun and the sun says
The answers in me, so I search through the darkness
Can’t find the key so we locked in the land of the lost
Lord, please tomorrow ain’t promised to you nor me
So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees
Life doesn’t end when the sweat dries
A time when a nickle cost a dollar
When you rise your chest dies
My dynasty many fear it cos’ I’m near it
Ancient Egyptian scriptures fitted in through hyroglyphics
Motherfuckers try to touch my mental state
Niggas smile up in your face and then they infiltrate
So it seems nowadays that the only plan
To get my people help my people get a load of land
And Im’ma see it if I have to kill some shit
To make my family tree a motherfucking wilderness
See a black man standin’ on the promised land
Since they broke every promise I devised a plan this
Black this and black that crap is gettin’ touchy
Any black hat that cross my path, I call him lucky
Those who turn. they back with they fears
And try to before they can see us
They gonna need us sweet Jesus
See what started as a family forest
Got cut to a family tree with the limbs
And the leaves looking’ at the world for answers
The world points to the sun and the sun says
The answers in me, so I search through the darkness
Can’t find the key so we locked in the land of the lost
Lord, please tomorrow ain’t promised to you nor me
So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees
See what started as a family forest
Got cut to a family tree with the limbs
And the leaves looking’ at the world for answers
The world points to the sun and the sun says
The answers in me, so I search through the darkness
Can’t find the key so we locked in the land of the lost
Lord, please tomorrow ain’t promised to you nor me
So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees
