[Intro: Ha ha ha ha, they say start it all again Whatever you goin through it's somebody goin somethin worse do this
[Chorus: Bone] And that's in the city kid Everybody ain't gon' make it out the (out the hood) You flow like Bizzy did keep the faith, and it's all to the good
[Bizzy Your girl is on you, you finna go to jail Now you just lost yo' job, yo' house is up for Your friend just passed away, you said goodbye son goin to war, and you still don't know why Yo' mom contracted AIDS, and before she died She speak a word, but she can blink her eyes See she was paralyzed, and you so to cry You wanted to show her strength, and tell her the Lord provides The church is takin money, sellin granny a She wanna go to heaven, she can get it with green Yo' cousins rich, off of a triple beam You see him losin weight, it off with 'Premes It to rocks, and now he's on the pipe He to ride 22's, now cousin ride a bike Yo' got a man, her man he got a temper So he you right up, gets drunk and don't remember As soon as you go to school, yo' asked "What happened?" Your they know the story, you say "Ain't nuttin crackin" Yo' money's low, and it ain't no welfare Remember said, "Who in the hell cares?" But Bizzy cared for ya, see I can only are the muddy waters, that I can see and hear See and hear, see and hear, see and hear, see and See and hear...

[Bizzy You had you friends, and y'all grew up together On the corner wines, singin about the ghetto Breakin bread, cars, and stayin in trouble House parties the homies and then watchin 'em rumble But soon yo' friendship crumbles, as you up in life You the age of 30, and soon forget yo' plight What if they blew up, and became the group EVER? I guess we'll know; that's just the way it goes high school dreams of turnin pro Catch an injury and now the scouts 'round no mo' Studyin to be a doctor but get pregnant in You decided to yo' child, now you must provide the food At the age of 50, reachin your golden years These are the muddy waters, I can see and I hear Bizzy cared for ya, but baby I can stare These are the waters, that I can see and I hear
