Peabo Bryson
Like a Spirit
[Intro]
Mastamind, Mastamind, Mastamind
Esham, Natas
Wherever you go, I'll follow
Esham, like a spirit
[Verse 1]
First you catch a slug, then you get yo' grave dug
Then you get remembered as a ho, then forgot with no love
Case closed, call it a day
They fall and they lay
All I can say is rest in peace, now let us all pray
I'm blessed and I'm cursed
Feel the pain, my n***as feel it worse
The pain, you'll sweat, it hurts, a black crow on the perch
Flyin through the universe, landin' on earth
Demandin' my worth, puttin' in work 'til the birds chirp
I do what they do in the day after midnight
Hope you do catch some Zs, wake up, get yo' shit right
Too much in sight, we gettin' visionary
This goes out to all those lost souls in the streets, in the cemeteries
[Chorus]
I was there for the death, I'm there for the birth
I'll be there when the meek inherit the earth
Got yo' mind wicked
Mastamind with ya like a spirit
I was there for the death, I'll be there for the birth
I'll be there when the meek inherit the earth
Got yo' mind wicked
Mastamind with ya like a spirit
[Verse 2]
I'm on some "I don't give a fuck" shit
"I don't need no love" shit
I'm goin' public with my problems 'cause I'm disgusted
Suckas tryna get at me like they know me
N***as tryna do some wicked shit like they unholy
Repentin' they sins, beg for forgiveness again
Don't know the evil's within the game, don't even get in
You going against the wind, going against the men
Who could start and finish this shit from beginning to end?
Whether sittin' in the pen or sittin' in the den
Have yo' mind on that when you lose and you win
(For real)
With you like a spirit
[Chorus]
I was there for the death, I'm there for the birth
I'll be there when the meek inherit the earth
Got yo' mind wicked
Mastamind with ya like a spirit
I'll be there for the death, I'm there for the birth
I'll be there when the meek inherit the earth, c'mon
Got yo' mind wicked
Mastamind with ya like a spirit
I was there for the death, I'm there for the birth
I'll be there when the meek inherit the earth
Got yo' mind wicked
Mastamind with ya like a spirit
[Outro]
WicketWorldWide
All across this mothafucka
With you like a spirit
C'mon, c'mon
