[00:00:00] C.R.E.A.M.(A Cappella) - Wu Tang Clan

[00:00:00] Written by：Wu Tang Clan/The RZA

[00:00:00] I grew up on a crime side the New York times side

[00:00:03] Staying alive was no jive

[00:00:05] Had secondhands mom's bounced on old man

[00:00:08] So then we moved to Shaolin land

[00:00:10] A young youth yo rocking the gold tooth 'Lo goose

[00:00:13] Only way I be gettin' the G off was drug loot

[00:00:16] And let's start it

[00:00:17] Like this son rolling with this one and that one

[00:00:20] Pulling out Gats for fun

[00:00:21] But it was just a dream for the teen

[00:00:23] Who was a fiend

[00:00:24] Started smoking woolas at 16

[00:00:26] And running up in gates and doing hits for high stakes

[00:00:30] Making my way on fire escapes

[00:00:32] No question I would speed for cracks and weed

[00:00:35] The combination made my eyes bleed

[00:00:37] No question I would flow off

[00:00:39] And try to get the dough all

[00:00:40] Sticking up white boys in ball courts

[00:00:42] My life got no better same d**n 'Lo sweater

[00:00:46] Times is rough and tough like leather

[00:00:48] Figured out I went the wrong route

[00:00:50] So I got with a sick ass clique and went all out

[00:00:53] Catching keys from across seas

[00:00:55] Rolling in MPV's every week we made forty G's

[00:00:59] Yo bro respect mine or here go the TEC 9

[00:01:02] Ch chick POW move from the gate now

[00:01:17] It's been twenty two long hard years of still struggling

[00:01:19] Survival got me bugging but I'm alive on arrival

[00:01:23] I peep at the shape of the streets

[00:01:24] Stay awake to the ways of the world

[00:01:27] Deep

[00:01:27] A man with a dream with plans to make cream

[00:01:30] Which failed I went to jail at the age of fifteen

[00:01:32] A young buck selling drugs and such who never had much

[00:01:35] Trying to get a clutch at what I could not touch

[00:01:38] The court played me short now I face incarceration

[00:01:41] Pacin' going upstate's my destination

[00:01:43] Handcuffed in the back of a bus forty of us

[00:01:46] Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough

[00:01:49] But as the world turned I learned life is hell

[00:01:51] Living in the world no different from a cell

[00:01:54] Every day I escape from Jakes giving chase selling base

[00:01:57] Smoking bones in the staircase

[00:01:59] Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess

[00:02:02] I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed

[00:02:04] But I'm still depressed and I ask what's it worth

[00:02:07] Ready to give up so I seek the old earth

[00:02:10] Who explained working hard may help you maintain

[00:02:13] To learn to overcome the heartaches and pain

[00:02:15] We got stickup kids corrupt cops and crack rocks and

[00:02:18] Stray shots all on the block that stays hot

[00:02:21] Leave it up to me while I be living proof

[00:02:23] To kick the truth to the young black youth

[00:02:26] But shorty's running wild smoking sess drinking beer

[00:02:28] And ain't trying to hear what I'm kicking in his ear

[00:02:31] Neglected for now but yo it gots to be accepted

[00:02:35] That what

[00:02:35] That life is hectic
