Thou Wow - E-40/IamSu

Lyrics by：Earl T. Stevens

Composed by：Earl T. Stevens

They wanna see me go back to my old ways

All I need is family I'll be okay

I've been hustlin' for a while now

I'ma keep that s**t a thou-wow

Woah woah woah woah woah

Woah woah woah woah woah

Woah woah woah woah woah

I'ma keep that s**t a thou-wow

When I was young

I wanted to be an ambulance or a fireman

But I ended up being a product

Of my environment

These suckas they wanna

Put me up in retirement

Immune to candlelight vigils

Hella violence

Everything I got I deserve it

But I'm far from being perfect

Perfect

All the n***as in my assembly

All of 'em serve a purpose

Purpose

A lot of you haters is b***hes

I swear you got a cervix

Cervix

You'll be dead before Christmas

You threaten me I'd be hella nervous

I tell my young raccoons stop

Talking and just listen

Listen

Read between the lines

The terms and conditions

Conditions

Don't be f**kin' off your paper

On these felines Felines

Some of these pussies got more miles

Than Delta Airlines b***h

They wanna see me go back to my old ways

Old ways

All I need is family I'll be okay

Okay

I've been hustlin' for a while now

While now

I'ma keep that s**t a thou-wow

A thou-wow

Woah woah woah woah woah

A thou-wow

Woah woah woah woah woah

A thou-wow

Woah woah woah woah woah

A thou-wow

I'ma keep that s**t a thou-wow

If you a hustler you probably kin to me

Kin to me

If you a sucka stay the f**k away from me

Way from me

Every day I wake up

I'm wakin' up with a smile

Death is unpredictable

It could be any day now

Day now

Being thorough is all I know

And all I practice

Practice

When I go to Heaven

I wanna meet John the Baptist

John the Baptist

Drink some Jesus wine

And chop it up with Moses 'nem

Moses 'nem

Bow down to thy Father and pay respect to him

Respect to him

I was raised in the center of the octagon

Octagon

The gravel the soil the yellow lines

Yellow lines

The inner city less fortunate

Underprivileged

Underprivileged

The junkies and fiends living under bridges

B***h

They wanna see me go back to my old ways

Old ways

All I need is family I'll be okay

Okay

I've been hustlin' for a while now

While now

I'ma keep that s**t a thou-wow

A thou-wow

Woah woah woah woah woah

A thou-wow

Woah woah woah woah woah

A thou-wow

Woah woah woah woah woah

A thou-wow for real

I'ma keep that s**t a thou-wow

N***as be too busy pocket watchin' and countin' other people's paper

Can't get no bread

No bread

They bein' aware of theyself

They be in they own mind

They be in they own head

Own head

To every reaction there's a reaction

And I ain't bulls**ttin' I ain't rappin'

Everybody I know packin' gangin'

And flaggin' bangin' and trappin'

My intellectual intellect make me believe believe

That if you give you shall receive

You shall receive

Some of my people out here starvin' and they hungry hungry

Ribs touchin' bony

Bony

In the name of the game I vow that I shall not

Back to my loved ones and line 'em up

Scheme and plot b***h

They wanna see me go back to my old ways

Old ways

All I need is family I'll be okay

Okay

I've been hustlin' for a while now

While now

I'ma keep that s**t a thou-wow

A thou-wow

Woah woah woah woah woah

A thou-wow

Woah woah woah woah woah

A thou-wow

Woah woah woah woah woah

A thou-wow

I'ma keep that s**t a thou-wow

B***h

All I need is family I'll be okay

I'ma keep that s**t a thou-wow

I'ma keep that s**t a thou-wow
