Snakes Songtext
von King Sun

How many of you heard about snakes?
The kind that bites you if you′re not awake
Not the reptile, the cold-blooded wild
Walkin', talkin′ with the human lifestyle
The kind that lie, cheat and do wrong
Cause destruction and then they're gone
Without any trace, they vacate the place
Some look pretty with an innocent face
You never know the negativity they are in
You try to identify 'em, they shed skin
The most wrongdoin′, the truth concealin′
The undetected, ever so appealin'

(SNAKE) Original
(SNAKE) Too drastic
(SNAKE) A snake is a snake, ′cause they're phony and
(SNAKE) Devious
(SNAKE) The wicked
(SNAKE) One to the head for goodness sake


Somebody was fakin′, snakin' and mistakin′
And when I find out, I'm bound to start breakin'
One for the head when I find who said
I was the one who got caught and dropped dime on red
′Cause you got the fellas mad as can be
Money, I′ma get you before they get me, see?
I'm not the rat who bites the cheese
′Cause I can do a three year stiff with ease
Please, you heard wrong from what I know
Because I wasn't even caught by 5-0
Now who would assume son Born is a rat?
The same one who said I wasn′t right and exact
But you are the one who let your tongue run loose
You tried to set me up so you can have my juice
My name has seven letters, my shoes are too big
It's burial time and you would help me dig
Your grave, now be brave, with no time to waste
The snake is the one who I shot in the face
(Hey son, how do you know you didn′t make a mistake?)
He denied before I asked him, so he was a fake flake

(SNAKE) The black
(SNAKE) The white
(SNAKE) A snake is a snake, so you make no mistake
(SNAKE) Devilish
(SNAKE) The venomous
(SNAKE) Once you are bitten that's all it takes


One of my girls found out about the other one
I just killed a snake, now I gotta kill another one
Coulda been a male or female who told my girl
They seen the other girl wearin' my gold
Now she knows of everything that I don′t even know
She gave me a list of every place we go together
I say whatever, it can′t be denied
Just because I never told her doesn't mean I lied
Now I gotta fess up and tell the truth
She even knows about the phone calls at the phone booth
Damn, who′s the little fork-tongue critter
Who told her I knocked the boots of the babysitter?
She won't say who she heard quoted
Just keep talkin′ while my gun is bein' loaded
It might be a friend who′s really a foe
But say no more, love, I think I know
Who the culprit is, you connivin' swine
Can't be me, so you wanna have mine
Guess who is guilty of such perpetration?
The one who I gave all the wrong information

(SNAKE) Original
(SNAKE) Too drastic
(SNAKE) A snake is a snake, ′cause they′re phony and
(SNAKE) Devious
(SNAKE) The wicked
(SNAKE) And once you are bitten that's all it takes

The city streets are full of deceit
The same negativity must repeat
It′s goin' on and on and not about to stop
Snakes are criminals, snakes are cops
Out even in the White House, without a doubt
Find the snake and let′s cast him out
Slippin', slidin′, duckin', hidin'
Buy a new car and go snake ridin′
I guess now you snakes are very angry
′Cause I'm black, right? You wanna hang me
I see the ropes and I′m no dope
I was taught to cope, can you fool me? Nope

(SNAKE) The fork-tongue
(SNAKE) The belly crawling
(SNAKE) Thought I was sleepin', found I was awake
(SNAKE) Lyin′
(SNAKE) The devious
(SNAKE) The heat is too hot so it's time that you pay

Wicked and weak is the snake technique
Wicked and weak is the snake technique
Wicked and weak is the snake technique
Wicked and weak is the snake technique

Peace to Allah′s nation
I'd like to say peace to my man Carlos
Doin' a little bit right now, you gon′ handle that, B?
I′d like to say peace to my man Tafari
Rulin' in on the New Jersey style
I said watch out for snakes inna di area
