Every Now and Then

[采样 - The Robe (1953): Marcellus and Justus]

"You seem to have great influence here"

"Well, when age speaks, youth listens, sometimes"

Every now and then

Every now and then

In the square, offered a fair, every now and then

Didn't talk, let it air, every now and then

To get it in me sat with crooks, every now and then

Inquisitively hit the books, every now and then

Won't evade, I played the fool, every now and then

Was how we lay a jewel, every now and then

Loved things I should have lusted

I rushed it, snubbed things I should have trusted

My comments ain't for quick alignment, it's for full adjustment

If saw who did it and chopped with the cops, the hood disgusted

As such, was in touch with the untouchable

Find out if you really tough, when the guts stuck to you

Bag of work with leeches, work the pieces that's flushable

Not with apes, walks to the train ain't safe to have to usher you

No rush for structure, we was freewheelin'

Need money to shuffle, that's why we in the street dealin'

Ain't adore being on the floor, wanted to reach ceilin'

Service from the borough of churches, where they preach stealin'

Only told truth, they gave loops with no fruits

They deeds disease the seeds, I produce produce

Was dropped in Gotham, I had to blossom to grow roots

Chase the product, got up on his shoulder with no boost

Every now and then

Every now and then

I break my chains when I'm around the pen

Every now and then

Every now and then

Moms made rice, I ain't eat a grain

Nobody played nice, I was breedin' pain

Had to cuff a gun 'cause nothing done in Jesus' name

Years of school was cool but only street smarts we retain

Big risk for little rewards

The sum of all these guns is trigger remorse

Another daughter on the border with illicit tryna get it across

Too many married the games, they should've divorced

Of course, that's loyal to a fault

They said it though, you never know who loyal 'til you caught

People I love blood is in the soil that I walk

On 'em curbs, served the servant, but it's royal when I talk

Every now and then

Every now and then

Every now and then

I hold court, every now and then

I stole and fought, every now and then

We deal weight, every now and then

Every now and then

I still feel hate, every now and then

Every now and then

Ka fresh, every now and then

Cultivated but digress, every now and then

Every now and then

(Every now and then

Land a joint every now and then

From the fools I ran point, every now and then)
