Good & Evil - Nappy Roots

Got stuck between good and evil everyday

What I can, I can not say

I won’t fight it anymore

I can’t fight it anymore

Gotta keep my head high above the clouds

Cause when it’s low it brings me down

I won’t fight it anymore

I can’t fight it anymore

Ohhhhh-ohhhh, ohhhh-ohhhhh

Ohhhhh-ohhhh, ohhhh-ohhhhh

Bite my tongue’s all I did back in grade school

Back in class, I was smart but I played fool

And turnin felon at sixteen was so cool

Cause you don’t know what you missin when they was broke too

And I’m stuck (Between good and evil everyday)

Some of my favorite rappers told me that crime pay

I’m glad I learned not to follow what every rhyme say

I gotta always have a do what’s right, mindstate

I promise (I won’t fight it anymore)

And why should I, well damn it how could I

If I don’t trust me, then how will I know how good I-

Ever could be, just a G in the hood, high

They told me keep it real, forever rep ya clique

For every whoopin don’t deserve the same size, switch

I pray to know the difference, and never lose sight

I told my brother only keep it real when it’s right

He told me

Got stuck between good and evil everyday

What I can, I can not say

I won’t fight it anymore

I can’t fight it anymore

I’m feelin like I can take on the whole planet, can’t nobody stop me

These haters wanna see me fail, well damn it they can watch me

From the paparazzi, seventy, come back like it’s Rocky

And no I’m not Apollo creed, I’m more like El Mariachi

A desperado wake and sauce

And all this ain’t Versaci

My word and my balls all I got, you think I’m cocky

But never mind, I came to grind

I’m thinkin like a ponzi-

Scheme when I flip my cheese and swisher sweet to broccoli

We hotter than hibachi, super crunchy Saki

Patience and persistence what my grandpapa taught me

Somebody musta put me here to break up the monotony

I humbly decline to be the boss, it’s way to costly

Got stuck between good and evil everyday

What I can, I can not say

I won’t fight it anymore

I can’t fight it anymore

Heeeeeeeeyyyy

Prayer, mama say there’s power in it

Pain, God is how she deal with it

Struggle, she wanted better for her children

Hustle, that ain’t the way Jesus did it

Violence, Martin Luther woulda been against it

Fellow man, the Beatles made us all feel it

Within, that’s where you gotta have it

Or bendin in, ask God and you shall have it

Trials, that’s just a test of your faith

Vow, to talk with him all the way

Thirst, to want what I work for

Sustain, to show you what I’m made of

Got stuck between good and evil everyday

What I can, I can not say

I won’t fight it anymore

I can’t fight it anymore

Gotta keep my head high above the clouds

Cause when it’s low it brings me down

I won’t fight it anymore

I can’t fight it anymore

Ohhhhh-ohhhh, ohhhh-ohhhhh

Ohhhhh-ohhhh, ohhhh-ohhhhh

Got stuck between good and evil everyday

What I can, I can not say

I won’t fight it anymore

I can’t fight it anymore

Gotta keep my head high above the clouds

Cause when it’s low it brings me down

I won’t fight it anymore

I can’t fight it anymore

Ohhhhh-ohhhh, ohhhh-ohhhhh

Ohhhhh-ohhhh, ohhhh-ohhhhh
