Esham - Watch Ya Back [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[VERSE 1]
Well where I stay it's like basehead Heaven
Brothers clock dollars 24-7
Some get caught and some don't
Some'll make big money, some won't
Some bite the bullet the hard way
Brothers play the game of death but don't know how to play
Money in your pocket, can't roll cause you're square
Living day to day is a black man's dare
Money, things, and jealousy's a big part of life
You thought you was the man till they stabbed you with a knife
They took your whole stack, got stabbed for a piece of crack
Brothers don't know how to act
Watch ya back

[HOOK]
They're going get you, you better watch ya back (x4)

[VERSE 2]
Grow up in the ghetto acting savage
When junkies smoked dope and murder was average
How could you cope in the city of dope
Young brother hanging from a tree by a rope
Your selling pound to pound earning nothing but a name
In the streets you got fame, but it'll kill you all the same
Flashing cash and thinking you're on top
But you fell to the bottom when the gun went pop
A brother who's nothing will always have nothing, thats a fact
People don't know how to act
Watch ya back

[HOOK]

[VERSE 3]
Walking down the street around 12 at night
Trying to sell rocks but ain't a basehead in sight
One pops up from out of nowhere
And then another and another and another
Should have watched ya back like a soldier
I told you
They're gonna get you brother

[HOOK]
