Verse 1: Dray
Well yo, they used to say that Dray was a motherfuckin bum
Cos when it came to profit, son I really wasn't gettin none
The wilest motherfucker that you ever saw
They used to call me Petey Wheezthrow, the devil's son-in-law
Now I'm in the shit, like a fly I was buggin
From robbin to stealin to dealin, yo, and even muggin
Sellin cocaine in the high school halls
Playin it slick I kept the balms up in some tennis balls
I used to run across the bridge with my peeps
I packed a tray-8, in dem days I was playin for keeps
I used to roll around my hat and all day
lookin for a prey that we could rob on Broadway
Stickin niggas for their jewels if they're worthy
Made a couple of hits and then we jetted back to Jersey
'86 and '87 was the year
had the Gucci hat, rock the rac-coon fur coat yeah
Keep em in disguise and nigga don't ya blink
See yeah Saturday, we robbed another nigga at the rink
The beats was always showin up at my rest
askin "Does a certain Drayzie live at this address? Yes?"
The spot was hotter than the sun, without a doubt
I had the choice to go to school and get the fuck out!
I hit the South just like a bandit cos I was stranded
Virginia State in '88, you know that's where I landed
I couldn't stand it, shit was feelin strange
I made it outta range but yo, my shit was just about the dough
Chorus:
Aiyo, niggas just can't have nuttin ( Yo niggas just can't have nuttin)
Niggas just can't have nuttin (niggas just can't have nutIt's hard describin' a heartache,
oh cuz it's a one of a kind a thing.
Serious injury and a whole lot of endless pain.
If it was a storm, I'd compare it to a hurricane.
Oh it's even got a name.
Chorus
If it was a drink,
It would be a strong one.
If it was a sad song,
it would be a long one.
If it was a colour,
It would be deep deep blue.
But if we're talkin' about a heartache,
It would be you.
If there was a full moon,
It would a total eclipse.
If it was a tidle wave,
It would sink a thousand ships.
If it was a blizzard,
It would record breaking cold.
If it was a lie,
It would be the biggest story you've ever told.
Chorus
If it was a colour,
It would deep deep blue.
But if we're talkin' 'bout a heartache,
It would be you.
