Prophecy
Cam'ron/Kelly Price Lyrics

Yo why stay here when all y'all don't play fair
Why should I stay here when everyone around me is unfair and will disrespect me?

Want to disrespect slit cha' neck spit the tech (Oh)
If someone disrespects me, I am willing to hurt them with a weapon.

Baby hit the deck love all the people
Everyone needs to get down on the ground to be safe, especially those I care about.

See my face on all y'all TV's
My face is everywhere and people are paying attention to me.

Laid out like Castellano on a war with Thoebe (Oh)
I am in a dangerous situation, just like Castellano during his war with Thoebe.

To my family not all the grieving
Not everyone in my family is grieving, some may be involved in the situation causing my problems.

Yeah my mother I can't judge her, I love her But trust her, she a sucka (Oh)
I love my mother, but I can't trust her as she is not always there for me.

Went the rugs when I turned around Laid a lock on a liquor store and burned it down
I went crazy and destroyed a liquor store by laying a lock on it and then setting it on fire.

Or at least give her a tumor to kill the rumors (Yeah)
I may give someone a deadly disease to keep them from spreading rumors about me.

How she a coke consumer and my girl too slick Acting goody two shoes like she don't do spit (Oh)
My girlfriend and her friend are both secretly doing drugs, and pretending to be innocent.

I knew it, no bluffing, no fussing or nothing After all, I'm the one that was up in her cousin (Hmm)
I know the truth without any doubt because I was involved with her cousin.

But she got a girl in her world, F a boyfriend I don't know if I'm mad or if I should join in
My girlfriend is cheating on me with a girl, and I am unsure if I should be upset or join in the situation.

On my tippers with the hoochie slit (Oh) I tell 'em you be quick
I am telling my female friends to be quick and efficient while partying with me, as they are dressed very provocatively.

My grandmother need her rubies fixed And some Gucci chips She think I'm paid cause she heard me with the Fugee clique (Oh)
My grandmother needs her jewelry and luxury items fixed, and she thinks I am rich because of my connection with the Fugee music group.

All the money she want I tell her sue me quick Why don't you shoot me quick Do it tasteful and gratefully, hateful My grateful behalf (Hmm)
My grandmother can sue me if she wants all the money she desires, but she should do it nicely and not in a hateful manner.

Now my girl is crying pregnant Look it and laugh (Oh) No, and I ain't seen 'em last in a year and a half But they hand open prepared for the cash (Yeah)
My girlfriend, who I haven't seen in a year and a half, is pregnant and crying. However, I know she is only looking for money.

Ch'all don't offend me my ends be Buried out in the Indies Too bad I'm stingy (On and on)
Don't offend me, my possessions are buried far away in the Indies, but I am selfish.

Like tears from a child, like tears from a child (Sometimes, yeah)
My emotions feel like tears from a vulnerable child, and can be overwhelming.

How fragile we are, how fragile we are (We are so fragile)
We are all very delicate, and can be easily hurt or damaged.

Yo, you got a best friend Me too, mine's in heaven My man Blood D.B. (Oh) Left in '97 (Oh) C'mon how that sound, yo Put my man in the ground, yo 'Cause he let a girl be his downfall
We both have best friends, but mine is in heaven. Blood D.B. passed away in 1997, and it hurts me to think how easily he was brought down by a girl.

We would slide together In a ride together (Oh) What you know about Blood Even mine devers How we cried together Vowed to lie together I wish I was in the whip We could of died together (Oh)
Blood D.B. and I were very close and always together, and we even vowed to lie and die together in the same car. I wish I had been with him when he died.

Like the throne, love is gone I ain't bleeding, but I got blood on my arm
Love has left me, but I don't feel hurt. Instead, I have the physical reminder of blood on my arm.

What happen when you die You miss one or two treks One or two weeks One or two beeps One or two peeps (Oh) Cats like you Miss one or two freaks Them hoes gon' cry For one or two weeks (Yeah)
When someone dies, they miss out on certain events like checking in with someone, receiving notifications, or seeing people. People who have frequent sexual partners may also miss them, and their lovers may cry for a week or two.

My life is like a car race No brakes, just gas Goin' real fast Probably land in a crash (Oh)
My life is like a high-speed car race with no brakes, and I am heading towards a crash.

Prayin' I wasn't the cat (Yeah) But haters loving the fact Can't stay on my toes And I be laying in low Y'all be blazing my hoes (Oh)
I am hoping that I won't be the one targeted, but my enemies are enjoying watching me struggle. I cannot stay cautious, and I have to hide away while my friends party and smoke my marijuana.

Yeah, I sound wet, but lounge yet Playa lay it down bet Y'all be tryin' to J and I ain't even in the ground yet (Hmm)
I may seem vulnerable, but I am still in control. I am a great player and everyone around me tries to emulate me, even though I am not dead yet.

Every first I put my heart in it I love you Blood D.B. (I love you) I'll see you in a minute (Oh)
I always put my heart into everything I do, and I loved my best friend Blood D.B. more than anything. I can't wait to see him again in the afterlife.

Sometimes some fall And the pain On and on, oh Sometimes it hurts so bad, oh
Sometimes people fall and the pain is unbearable. It can continue for a long time and be very difficult to deal with.

We go on, on and on (Sometimes we get lonely, sometimes we get sad, but we go on)
We continue on even when we feel lonely or sad. Life is full of ups and downs, but we have to keep moving forward.

We are so fragile, oh
We are very delicate and can be easily broken, both physically and emotionally.
