Gluttony, baby

Is I needs what I see

Gluttony, babyIs us, it′s hard to see

It's knocking (gluttony, baby)

(Is I needs what I see) man, they gon′, they gon', man they gon' knock this

And ride out to this

Uh

It sit deep in my chest, so let me express

Grew up on eighty-six eight, oh, y′all don′t need the address

It was 'round CVS, we were so devious

The city never sleeps, it be needing some rest

The streets was a mess, and they still are

Feel our pain, the bigger picture, we was all framed

But the game is the game, so let it begin

In these streets, these are the seven deadly sins

Now, the first is pride, though some call it vanity

A hustler′s insanity can break up the family

Pride can have a man stuck in his ways, not subject to change

Knowing that he'll end up in a grave

It′s the arrogance, they say, in us Americans

Messes up marriages, many sins, pride is parenting

Like the second is something we all have

Or felt, than Cain or Khan, it's called wrath

I seen a boss take it out on his staff

Seen a crip take it out on a blood, causing a bath

Never seen a man making money while he mad

So hustle plus wrath? Y′all do the math

Now the third, you probably heard from MOP

They say use them rocks to make 'em envy

Envy, the cousin of jealousy, on the streets it's a felony

When niggas fucking with you but commit infidelity

They hate it, to see you celebrated

Counting my paper, nigga, you could have made it

Let me stay with that thought, takes us to the fourth

Where n- is lazy, that′s what we call sloth

Want you to break em off, getting money it costs

For you to be a boss, ain′t no taking off

Now the myth about the fifth, it only happens when we eat

It's gluttony, this is how it happens on the street

It′s a dude that's getting paid in full, cars and jewels

So his plate is full, but the way this n- move

He is never full and he gon′ want your food

Don't overdo it, that′s an underrated rule

The sixth is a fix that's in all of us

When I get drunk and want to bust, this is what we call lust

When the drawers go down, the guards go down

'Cause a p- is somebody getting robbed right now

Okay, the seventh is a seed that many believe

Is the cause of ′em all, this is what we call greed

Knew some cousins that was hustlin′, one of em ended up bustin' the other

Greed is a mother, it′s greedy motherf- like Madoff

Cops getting paid off, greedy companies got my people getting laid off

Before I sign off, in the sins we livin'

The good thing is we can be forgiven

Seven deadly sins

Gluttony, baby

Is I needs what I see

Gluttony, baby

Is us, it′s hard to see
