Act Accordingly Lyrics

by Woodie

[Chorus]
God I know shit could be worse
But this liquor doesn't quench my thirst
You took two brothers and a sister from my life
But I ain't mad, I just hope you're right
Police say forever Snoop's locked down
He's innocent, you can ask the Yoc town
I do my best to be humble as I can be
But sometimes I gotta act accordingly

Which means ...

You comin' at me wrong, I'm comin' back at cha
We can take ten steps, see who draws faster
Put it on the line killa, f*ck speakin' your mind killa
I ain't got the time, pistol whip ya' wit my nine milla
Skip all the bullshit that's comin out your lips
You wanna kill me then kill me 'cause I ain't easy to miss
I'm right there at the stoplight swiggin' on a forty
Still livin' thru that yoc life late night-early morning
In traffic with my homie lil' bird sittin' passenger
Eyes peeled for enemies as we hit and pass the herb
Bendin' different corners from chico to contra costa
You lookin' like you know me, 4 fingers what I toss ya'
I travel through this life with a chip on both shoulders
Thought I was done at twenty-one but I keep gettin' older
I'll soak in all I can and let my wisdom expand
Play my cards right and I might get that million in my hand

[Chorus]
God I know shit could be worse
But this liquor doesn't quench my thirst
You took two brothers and a sister from my life
But I ain't mad, I just hope you're right
Police say forever Snoop's locked down
He's innocent, you can ask the Yoc town
I do my best to be humble as I can be
But sometimes I gotta act accordingly

This road I chose in life is filled with pain and strife
Will I take a life? kill to gain a stripe?
Yes... it's nothin' new I'll tell ya' that much
And I'll never break protocol to make a fast buck
Cause I'm stuck and bound for life to homeboyz I've grown with
Amongst each other we find love to deal with the coldness
That this world can bring and trust me it packs a sting
When your brother gets murdered who was fit to be a king
And they wonder where we learn to solve our problems with violence
Take a look at the government, it ain't nothin' but tyrants
Yeah the evening news got the weak blind folded
But dig a little deeper and you'll see why I'm holdin'
A pistol on my person, stackin' chops in the cuts
I feel that you deserve to die if in the cops you trust
I admit my soul is tainted but that don't mean I ain't right
This world's about to say goodnight, I won't lay down without a fight

[Chorus]
God I know shit could be worse
But this liquor doesn't quench my thirst
You took two brothers and a sister from my life
But I ain't mad, I just hope you're right
Police say forever Snoop's locked down
He's innocent, you can ask the Yoc town
I do my best to be humble as I can be
But sometimes I gotta act accordingly

[Hook:]
Tell me why we livin' lord, you just gonna kill us anyway
Why couldn't you have just kept us in heaven since the very first day
Tell me why we livin' lord, you know we gonna fall a stray
This world is full of evilness, but f*ck it, whatever you say

Let my pistol protect...

I'm still on this earth I guess I haven't accomplished
My mission but it's hard when you're walkin' unconscious
I'm just tryna deal "deal" with the pain "with the pain"
Get a couple mil "mil" for the gang "for the gang"
Everything is harder than it seems
I've seen a lot of people give up and stop followin' their dreams
I cannot allow myself to fall victim to the same curse
Sometimes to achieve you gotta put yourself in danger
But be wary of strangers, keep one in the chamber
And react with your brain, don't react outta anger
They call us gangbangers, more like street soldiers
We scare the shit out of the government that's why they hold us
Locked down in prisons, political decisions
Decided by the wealthy with evil and greedy visions
They got the laws written where money talks, so people sell their soul
To get a piece of the pie, I'd rather die in the cold

[Chorus]
God I know shit could be worse
But this liquor doesn't quench my thirst
You took two brothers and a sister from my life
But I ain't mad, I just hope you're right
Police say forever Snoop's locked down
He's innocent, you can ask the Yoc town
I do my best to be humble as I can be
But sometimes I gotta act accordingly

[Hook x2]
Tell me why we livin' lord, you just gonna kill us anyway
Why couldn't you have just kept us in heaven since the very first day
Tell me why we livin' lord, you know we gonna fall a stray
This world is full of evilness, but f*ck it, whatever you say

This world is full of misery, it's quite a twisted game you play
