Gemini - Swimmin' Wit' Sharks
pressed in 1999
(while swimmin' round these sharks, keep your eyes out on your heart)
while swimmin' round these sharks (sharks!)
keep your eyes out on your heart (heart!)
while swimmin' round these sharks (sharks!)
keep your eyes out on your heart (heart!)
man, that dude is a nosy little boy all up in my biz
got me out here yellin' knowin' damn well i don't wanna become a felon
one day i'll know why you like to throw lies (lies!)
probably when i make you take off that disguise
(help you fly)
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
ok, so now your insecurities led you to uh, fuck with me
tryin' to hold me down baby, haven't you heard i'm free (free!)
look at you standing there workin' like a politician yet on another mission
screaming peace! on the side of the beast (beast!)
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
but now, instead of trying to understand me
you look me in my eyes and try to underhand me? man...
i see, like Reagan all of a sudden you can't remember, respect
alright man, cameras ready, prepare to get wrecked (wrecked!)
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
yeah, that's you, you wanna-be
sittin' at the opera sippin' on vodka
thinkin' of ways to gank another dollar
and instead of spending your time on your mind
you stay behind in line, man
cause you blind, you blinded baby!
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
yeah, you know, he was on the phone actin' like this here was in the dark
knowin' damn well i know he's a shark
now i will no longer be holdin' back
just exposing cats who don't know how to act right
when i'm in their sights
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
now, stop that cryin' man, you ain't the only one dyin' man
can't you see this world is yours as well as mine, man?
maybe if you get up off your ass, you'll get on the right path
you know the math
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
while swimmin' round these sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
see, in '96 shit wasn't legit, cause them fools thought they could control me
now it's almost '99 and we about to shine (shine!)
some say you were lost man, i say you were misguided
'cause you left the cash in your hands and you got too excited (sorry!)
while swimmin' round these sharks, sharks
keep your eyes out on your heart
keep your eyes out on your heart
look at 'em
runnin' around trying to get me caught up in their mix
knowin' damn well i know them tricks
you know what i'm sayin'?
that one kid Sid?
tried to put my soul in a jar and close the lid
he thought i'd be dead by now with all my drinkin' and smokin'
he didn't know god put me here to cause a commotion
let's go
and yes, and yes, i know it's all about business for y'all
and i can forgive this
but please bear witness
to what happens when you try to diss this
you know i mean?
just like you, you know, ah, like in the beginnin'
i was sinnin' but now that my eyes are open, i'm winnin'
you know what i mean? that's just how it is an shit
least where i come from and where i stand here
shoot, these kids and frustration come from a lack of information
these kids and frustration comes from a lack of communication
that's what it's about
with this
i was told when i was young, man
people would try to change and bury your history
and make your life a mystery
and they do that shit
because psychologically this society is fucked (fucked!)
there's a lot of people livin' around here (in fear)
in fear or just stuck (stuck!)
