E-TOWN CONCRETE LYRICS

1. Shaydee

Hard times build character, or so I'm told. They teach
you lessons worth your weight in gold, and I've been
shown things happen for a reason. I know your kind.
You want one thing, the gusto. Keep it in mind. What
up chief? You is a shifty thief with shady eyes. Play
the role like a tough guy. You need a grammy. It's
whack. Smile to my face. Talk behind my back. In fact,
when I'm around you be riding my sac. Your shit is
played out. Try and use me to get your name out. So
you can stay out (cash in the fame no doubt). I ain't
stupid. I know what you is about son. Gettin' that
clout done so you can attract a bigger crowd dunn.
Yeah ... you is a foul, one always preaching "keepin'
it real", when you is a fake bitch handing out raw
deals. Your shit is too sloppy to have appeal. Your
style is too cliche for masses to feel. You is a shady
jealous bitch. Try and play me to get rich, fit in my
niche, taking part of my chips. Yo that's my shit.
Stop trying to steal my show. ETOWN. This goes out to
my peeps up in the crowd. This goes out to my niggas
gettin' wild. This goes out to the kids that is
representin'. This goes out to tough guys teaching
lessons. This goes out to those that are true. This
goes out to you.

2. One Life 2 Live

When I breathe I live a little less, because with each
breath I take a step closer to death. Word bond it's
kinda' fucked up how we're born just to die. Live a
life of poverty underneath dark skies. Sometimes I
wonder does God hear me, is he there, does he know
that life sucks, and if so, does he care, it seems as
the he helps those he doesn't need to making good
niggas turn illegal, forget their peoples. I'll cheat
you duke, I wanna make that green too, it's hard to
feed 2 so I don't need you. Why do what's right when
it all goes wrong? Fuck that sad song, I'ma be the
bomb word is bond it's on its all about the cream
nigga and I'ma live out my dream nigga and be the
richest, rock the flyest clothes get all the bitches.
Fuck them jealous niggas they can lick my dick tip,
and catch the stiff one son, we only got one life to
live dunn, so might as well do your thing now and make
the best of it, or regret the shit you wish you did
for the rest of it. We only get to represent
temporarily so damn right I'ma get mine before the
bury me.

3. Ashes To Ashes

Leaving behind a world on the brink of destruction.
Dreamlike, seeking another way out. Another empty
promise that I could do without. Afraid or unafraid,
leaving behind a world on the brink of destruction. In
our lives, you don't get a second chance. So don't
talk the talk, if you can't dance the dance. Cause
I've got family livin' around every corner. Now you
know. Don't say I didn't warn ya. It's not how you
lost. It's how you won. And where I'm from, it's
either do or get done. The fight isn't over till the
war is won, and where I'm from, it's either do or get
done. My cries were left unheard. Feel this pain from
the inside. Instinct is all I have. Close the door on
my life. Feel this pain from the inside out, out, out.

4. E-Town Concrete (Kombat Remix 96)

This is for the one who helped bring me on this earth,
shut me out since birth, take ya for what ya worth. A
fuck up is what I think of first. Always tried ta
corrupt my mind. Nevertheless I turned out fine. How
come ... how come you never had the time!! No, its
never easy. She always tried to please me. On your
death bed, and ya finally wannna see me. Mama didn't
raise a fool, fucked up in skool, beat me black and
blue, and where the fuck were you? I must have forgot
my life had nothing to do w/ the ones I never knew.
[chorus] Beat ya like a drum. Ta show ya where I'm
from. Beat ya like a motherfuckin drum. Ta show ya
where I come from. Straight from the E-town concrete!
Donut give a shit. Tired of keeping it in. Right bout
now I need a friend. Someone to help me deal wit it
all. Someone to build me high as the sky, hear my
cries. I can't go on just slipping by. Who can
understand? You wouldn't understand. Mom gets beat by
a grown man. Get wasted. My hatred! [chorus] Beat ya
like a drum. Ta show ya where I'm from. Beat ya like a
motherfuckin drum. Ta show ya where I come from.
Straight from the E-town concrete! Where the fuck did
you come from, and what're you talking bout now?
Suburban punk trying ta play the role, in love with
something you don't know the first thing about. Street
education from a movie. Wake up mothafucka, you can't
move me.
