Tainted SINS

I'm a man I gotta take care of my family
Fighting these precious in my life
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammis
But these streets won't say a goodbye

I can't say goodbye
To the blocks
Goodbye
To the hood
Goodbye
To the streets (to my problems)
I can't say goodbye
To the hood
Goodbye
To the blocks
Goodbye
To the streets
I can't say goodbye goodbye
To the blocks
Goodbye
To the streets
Goodbye
To the hood
I can't say goodbye
To the hood
Goodbye
To the blocks
Goodbye
To the homies

[VERSE - SNOOP DOGG]
I guess it's true, you can't take the hood out a homeboy
Plus, my hood just lost another homeboy
Another one got life, and we don't know, if he coming home boy
They in the street tell me "just leave it alone boy,
Let them do them take care of your own boy"
But I said back brake a bound, before I was drome boy
You had dreams of being a dope boy
Yeah, I was runnin' from the po po
Banging for the truth, late night huntin'
Puttin' me in work, good day comin', airbrush, shirt,
Pay day, get the spot, got my hair cut first
Made mom sick when I wouldn't go to church
Yeah I live in the burbs, but I think 21st
I know since I left that it's gotten much worse
But I'd still be there, if I couldn't write a verse

[CHORUS - CHARLIE WILSON]
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family
Fighting these precious in my life
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammis
But these streets won't say a goodbye

[VERSE - SNOOP DOGG]
To the the blocks that raise me, the enemies and the homies that made
Me, tough enough to hang on the corners that would moul me
Critics wonder if I'm tryna be the old me,
But if the thing the old me ever left, then they don't really know me,
And don't know, we don't change, we just become OG, you always addicted
To the life, you just don't OD, I owe the streets before they owe me
Took me in when my momma didn't want me, to wild to be a child, and cops
Not around now, all I got now is the homies, to teach me, how to be a man
In what not, how to brake ounces in the grams ??
The reason I'm so nice with my hands ?? shit, you think I forgot, man

[CHORUS - CHARLIE WILSON]
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family
Fighting these precious in my life
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammis
But these streets won't say a goodbye

[VERSE - SNOOP DOGG]
Thank good every day that the boy could spit
And all around the world they enjoyin' my shit
I know I got plenty more awards to get
I got a, beautiful wife and some gorgeous kids
But it wouldn't be right if I ignore the shit
They made me how I am, the music in the man
Told me that I can for the world gave a damn
If it wasn't for my shit, they sayin' stick to the plan
Probably be a gun instead of a pen in my hand
Probably be doin' a dub and the ?? with my man
The say leaders streets but they don't really understand
All I had was the block, when I didn't have fans
Wrapped on the corners when I couldn't get spins
All I had was the homies when I didn't have kids
If it all come down and my carrier was to end, I'm sure my name
Would live.. in the streets

[CHORUS - CHARLIE WILSON]
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family
Fighting these precious in my life
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammys
But these streets won't say a goodbye

I just can't say goodbye

I can't say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
I can't say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
I can't say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
I can't say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

You can take the man out the streets,
But you can't take the streets out the man

Ghetto Gospel lyrics
(feat. Elton John)

Uhh,
Hit them with a lil' ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John:]
Those who wish to follow me (My ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior without the sound of guns

[2Pac]
If I could recelect before my hood dayz
I'd sit and reminisce, nigga and bliss on the good dayz
i stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to'em
They tested, it was stressed that they under
In our days, things changed
Everyone's ashamed to the youth cuz the truth looks strange
And for me it's reversed, we left them a world that's cursed, and it hurts
cause any day they'll push the button
and yall condemned like Malcolm x and Bobby Hunton, died for nothin
Don't them let me get teary, the world looks dreary
but when you wipe your eyes, see it clearly
there's no need for you to fear me
if you take the time to hear me, maybe you can learn to cheer me
it aint about black or white, cuz we're human
I hope we see the light before its ruined
my ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John]

[2Pac]
Tell me do you see that old lady aint it sad
Living out a bag, but she's glad for the little things she has
And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy
Guess she's given birth to a baby
I don't trip and let it fade me, from outta the frying pan
We jump into another form of slavery
Even now I keep discouraged
Wonder if they take it all back while I still keep the courage
I refuse to be a role model
I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle
I make mistakes, I learn from everyone
And when its said and done
I bet this Brotha be a better one
If I'm upset, you don't stress
Never forget, that God hasn't finished with me yet
I feel his hand on my brain
When I write rhymes, I go blind, and let the lord do his thang
But am I less holy
Cuz I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies
Before we find world peace
We gotta find peace in that war on the streets
My ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John]

[2Pac]
Lord can you hear me speak!!
To pay the price of being hell bound...

Work is not that fun.... well i mean the prospects of working 6 days a week is a turn off
to just about anyone i can think of. But on the brighter side the people at work are really
a great bunch. I fell sick just 2 days ago and they didnt kick up a big fuss. i mean i know
it dosent look good la falling sick on the first week of work... but what to do if you got the
bug you got the bug!

I want to motivate myself
i want to strive to meet the sales targets that are set for us
its really hard when i dont really know the products and i have to check every now and then
i just pray that i can really do it. Its not an overnight thing but i believe that i can make the sales
i want to do it so badly.....


Just a few more months to go before i become my own boss
now i just need to learn more !
i hunger for knowladge.....
i thirst for it...

So,
another year goes by,
and where does that find me?
Looking back at the past few years i find that there are some things similar in life
that i follow.
Something like a pattern that i usually follow....
How do i explain this.
Those who know me probably know this already
I get unlucky around the Chinese New Year period.
I almost always spend Valentines day alone. Even when i am attached something just seems to crop up.
Birthdays are supposed to be special, but for me they're normally let downs by friends and family,
and something else...... every chinese new year i end up BOTAK...... wonder why...
also every reservist month i'll be involved in a fight at a club either before during or just after in camp training.
I hope that this ring of events will end soon....
How many Vdays alone can a man stand before being termed as a cheapo or a gay?
My name is not *coughTaiCOUGHzi* if you know what i mean.


Called a friend sometime last week
hi can u come down to clarke quay later?
for?
its poh's birthday
err cant la im working with my dad. I'll finish late.
its ok i'll be there late too. Just for a while.
hmmmm call you later? I try la....

Meanwhile while walking towards wisma to buy some random gift
eh brudder tonight got time can follow me to clarke quay?
alamak can la now?
no la tonight around 11 plus 12 like that
sorry la brudder cannot la work...............
its poh's birthday la
sorry la brother cannot la....
ok la nevermind
!@#$%^&*()_+_)(*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*()_ (i couldnt be bothered to listen on already)


You know the feeling?
Sometimes you make your friends your world but when the time comes for something to give
well it just seems like your all not that important after all.
When she needed someone to listen to her for some one to do some fighting or something i was there....
When he couldnt get into the course of his choice and it was late on a work night....
i still went out with him, spending half of my work pay and not complaining
eventhough i didnt go to work the next day and almost got fired...
ah well....... photographs for their projects, doing things always to suit them....
and when i was in need when poh was in need.... what happened
where were they>?
that is the final question?


NOT A CALL ON MY BIRTHDAY NOT A CALL ON HERS....
that i can forgive....
we all forget
i do
but when u find out....
thats what they call a belated belated birthday wish what.....
i think me and poh we're definately worth at least that right.......


CARE?





I think not
