Bird After Bird - Esham

Money, got to get it, always necessary

If I don’t get it from rapping, it’ll be from trafficking

Bird after bird…

Thank God for amphetamines, but what I really mean is what has dope done for me?

Oh, it got the mansion and the six double zero

?

on the table getting rocked up

The other eight, I keep 'em softened in the freezer locked up

Money and the power, money and the power

At the yay spot moving half a brick an hour

All dime rocks in Detroit grind blocks

Look out for the cops and the neighborhood watch

Rolex, diamond infested on some neck shit

Arm & Hammer, baking soda Pyrex shit

Cocaine business controls America

They moving chickens in everybody area

And Colonel Sanders been dead for years

Crows been flocking on the wire since I was a little kid

Young boys come home old men from doing bids

Reflecting on the pain 36 rolls did

Even a possibility of life without parole

Won’t stop the murder toll or the birds you sold

Cause it’s…

Bird after bird…

Birds flock in spirituals and pray for me miracles

If anything I never thought I’d turn into a criminal

So here I go once again, smelling dope and sin

Ballers commit suicide as soon as they begin

Misled, another dealer dead

Shot in his head, took his bread, his blood was red

Looked like spaghetti and meatballs, brains on the walls

Money is the root to all evil pain that it cause

American Eagles on the look out for boys and illegals

Especially Africans, 'cause they be known for drug traffickin'

Pushing weight on every available interstate

Scarface sniffing right off the dinner plate

Arabian flake with more crystals and Folgers

Jumping out of planes with no parachutes, I told ya

You heard me?

Watch the birdie

Scant-less in Detroit, they’ll do you dirty

For surely, you want to get the cheese, be there early

Slanging O boy or the girlie

Bird after bird…

I know you heard…

Word after word…

So now it’s bird after bird…

Word after word…

I know you heard…

Look girl I’m not gonna sing 'cause I just don’t do that

«If you sing that song for me, I’ll give you some punani»

Okay, maybe this one time, come on
