Souls of Mischief - Tell Me Who Profits lyrics
A Plus:
 Hmmmmm 
 I could give a damn about you and your crew 
 everybody's frontin' 
 aint nobody bein' true to 
 the things they say 
 they say... 
 Tajai: 
 Man I understand 
A Plus: And
 Phesto: 
 I got a plan for improvement. . . 
 A Plus: 
 But you gets the finger 
 and I bring a 
 attitude with me 
 cause brothas that I know be acting shifty 
 let me be me 
 and I'll let you be you 
 but why talk about me if it's not me that you're talkin' to 
 lets make it clear 
 you do not know, me 
 so skip 'How ya livin', 'How ya feel, bro G' 
 to me that's phony 
 asking if my shit's dropping 
 the kids stop when 
 they start to get they lips popped, and 
 they say I forgot 'em 
 but I aint seen 'em in four years, 
 Tajai: 
 You always had my number, 
 A-Plus: So step with your poor tears 
 and what about, 
Opio: Plus is my man!
 A0Plus: You need to stop it 
 screw the doers 
 of rumors 
 cause you nerds never profit. 
 [CHORUS:] 
 "Tell me who profits? You got beat, cause you like to gossip." 
Phesto:
 In school I never used to raise my hand in class 
 I always knew the teacher's hand 
 a passing grade to me 
 in the back, relax 
 cause they wasn't kickin' facts 
 in facts 
 I never learned nuttin', 
Opio:
 I can fool with the school system 
 they take facts and twist 'em 
 into knots, right up the block's 
 a spot 
 to get a 40 
 around the corner get craps, 
Phesto:
 Perhaps these is traps Souls of Mischief - Tell Me Who Profits - http://motolyrics.com/souls-of-mischief/tell-me-who-profits-lyrics.html
 to keep us tapped 
 saps, can buy gats 
 with flat-tipped bullet caps 
 in the locker room with no hassle 
 and assholes sell cracks in sacks 
 to class-foes & friends 
 cause the mass goes with the trend. 
Opio:
 My friend 
 the niggas makin' ends is livin' illegal 
 that's the way to go 
 I'm out to get dough. 
Phesto:
 Dough? 
 The education, to get you further 
 than murder and drugs with thugs 
 you're better off being a nerd. 
Opio:
 That's absurd 
 life don't mean nuthin' without phat pockets 
 that's the only way to get paid 
 you tell me who profits. 
[CHORUS:]
 "O&P: Tell me who profits? 
 O: I'll have G's, 
 P: But you'll get shot, kid (dick)!" 
Tajai:
 Huh! 
 ya gotta wonder 
 why niggas plunder, kill 
 have ya torn a sunder 
 cuz I'ma build 
 and fill 
 a glass pipe full of crack 
 and black men's pockets be phat 
 a little 
 lets whittle the way to the core now 
 ya packin' a Glock 
 mackin' the block 
 fight with the cops 
 well, who ya takin' the risk for? 
 A kingpin swingin' 
 with the president 
 greasin' 'em up & givin' 'em papes 
 for drugs in the States 
 have ya dodgin' niggas and caps 
 he's with George & Clarence 
 digging golf balls out of sand traps 
 he's never seen Frisco or Oakland 
 he got a glimpse of New York 
 when he went to see the opera ("ahhhhhh!" 
 he said me sicks getting senile 
 if we live past 2-4 
 we're due for 
 a stay in the penile 
 so see now 
 we polish our Berettas 
 but there's no boats or cane fields nowhere in the ghetto. 
 Yo... 
 [CHORUS:] 
 "Tajai: Tell me who profits? 
 DC got schemes, and we aint got spit...damn
