Trapacane, Word up
Here to speak about yo,
Polluted Wisdom
Yeah, 2nd Chamber, to all the Boos
Polluted Wisdom, 2nd Chamber, yo
Verse 1:
I knew this chick named Gina drove a royal blue beamer
Holdin' 2 chrome ninas fucking baby like Nadina
Wore corn braids, I used to hit it back in the days
Now she a coke slayer Italian niggas gettin her pay
But that's her heritage, she stayed sniffed up, no sorrow
Clean her toes for today gave a fuck about tomorrow
But she robbed 50 Gs flat from a sharp
Now they trying to make the chick history like Noah's Ark
She blew the cheddar, she live on the low where it's better
Copped the condo, some jewels, and a '97 Jetta
Now she know she Big Will but wrong she Silly Sally
Think she handling army cause her body out in Cali
Terribly mistaken strung on yeh the hits creation
Tryin to fly down south with the CREAM from the Jamaicans
It's a woman hunt been on for 'bout 3 months
When they catch her some say they pouring gas in her cunt
Torch it like a blunt and sparked on the God born day
She want to be a queen but went about all the wrong way
She still hangin in bars, being Diana Ross
Friday and Saturday jumping back and forth in niggas cars
Now I fill wid King at the bar guzzling gin
Thinking he the man cause he gotta 500 Benz
He like it raw when he touch skin Gina just a friend
Not knowing the type of lifestyle shorty was in
From Shaolin..
Word up, think again
Know what I'm sayin?, word
To all the wisdom, living a fast life
Yeah, you rather see the light
Park 'n brake know what I'm sayin?
Word up, reality, word up
Yo
Verse 2:
Risen by grief she live in a plot wid a knot
Been in the block wid ten crisp Gs in her pock
She ain't startin it, joint off safety, three clips
Peep the rear-view some dreads pulled back her whips
So she mercked off they mercked to and drama again
Just bought a first-class ticket going to Michigan
She tried to come out alive grabbed the joint then sat aside
Thinking if she shoot first then her life can't be denied
Started blazing shorty was no joke she blinked
Using rapid fire the dreads trying to hit her gas tank
Testing Uzi ooh op the next man block hot
Through the action four by-standers was shot
But it continued, shorty hittin ninety, scraped the Benz
Still scaring begging Allah for her sins
Wid no friends she had to handle beef on the dolo
3 shells came through the window one went through her Polo
Now she swerving needing a doctor like Jay Ervin
2 other chickens that knew her severe lesson they was learning
Sipping Burbon she reloaded seeing her life being demoted
Catch a flashback remember shit Scarface quoted
Still lickin of shell, feeling the fire of hell
Moved in mad blood trying to make it back to the hotel
Dread licked off a pack she had no chance to react
Firing emptying clips from fifty shot caps
2 more caught her in her back the others made the tire flat
The car flipped 13 times dunn and dead was that
Dead was that, word up black
Yeah, yo, for all the women
Watch what you do and who you screw
Yeah, be a queen and not a money fiend
Knaw what I mean, word up
Protect yourslef LA The Darkman

The lyrics to "Polluted Wisdom" by La the Darkman describe the tragic fate of two women who chose to live a fast and dangerous lifestyle. The first woman, Gina, used to be the singer's lover but has since become a coke addict who does not care about her future. She eventually steals a large amount of money and goes on the run, only to be caught by the police and killed by her pursuers. The second woman, who remains unnamed, is a skilled shooter who is constantly involved in violent confrontations. She, too, is eventually killed while trying to escape her enemies.
The song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of living recklessly and making bad choices. It warns listeners, especially women, to be careful about who they associate with and what paths they choose in life. The lyrics use graphic and violent imagery to emphasize the harsh consequences of such lifestyles. Ultimately, the singer argues that one should aim to be a "queen" rather than a "money fiend," suggesting that there is a better way to live.
Line by Line Meaning
I knew this chick named Gina drove a royal blue beamer
I was familiar with a woman named Gina who drove a fancy car
Holdin' 2 chrome ninas fucking baby like Nadina
She carried two guns and wasn't afraid to use them
Wore corn braids, I used to hit it back in the days
She wore cornrow braids and we used to have a sexual relationship in the past
Now she a coke slayer Italian niggas gettin her pay
Now she is addicted to cocaine and Italian men are paying her for it
But that's her heritage, she stayed sniffed up, no sorrow
She continues to use drugs because it's part of her heritage and she feels no remorse
Clean her toes for today gave a fuck about tomorrow
She takes care of herself in the moment but doesn't think about the future
But she robbed 50 Gs flat from a sharp
She stole $50,000 from a dangerous person
Now they trying to make the chick history like Noah's Ark
Now they are trying to kill her and erase her from existence
She blew the cheddar, she live on the low where it's better
She wasted the money she stole and is now hiding in a safer place
Copped the condo, some jewels, and a '97 Jetta
She used the money she stole to buy a condominium, some jewelry, and a 1997 Volkswagen Jetta
Now she know she Big Will but wrong she Silly Sally
She thinks she's a big shot but she's actually foolish
Think she handling army cause her body out in Cali
She thinks she's powerful because she has connections in California
Terribly mistaken strung on yeh the hits creation
She is completely wrong and is living with a false sense of power
Tryin to fly down south with the CREAM from the Jamaicans
She is attempting to flee to the South with a large amount of money from Jamaicans
It's a woman hunt been on for 'bout 3 months
There has been a search for her for around three months
When they catch her some say they pouring gas in her cunt
When they catch her, they may torture her by putting gasoline in her genitals
Torch it like a blunt and sparked on the God born day
They would then set her on fire and celebrate
She want to be a queen but went about all the wrong way
She desires to be a powerful woman, but she has taken the wrong path to achieve that goal
She still hangin in bars, being Diana Ross
She still hangs out in bars and acts like she's famous like Diana Ross
Friday and Saturday jumping back and forth in niggas cars
On Friday and Saturday, she's riding around in different men's cars
Now I fill wid King at the bar guzzling gin
I am now drinking with my friend King at the bar
Thinking he the man cause he gotta 500 Benz
He thinks he's cool because he has a Mercedes-Benz
He like it raw when he touch skin Gina just a friend
He prefers sex without protection and Gina is just a friend to him
Not knowing the type of lifestyle shorty was in
He doesn't realize the kind of dangerous lifestyle Gina is living
Risen by grief she live in a plot wid a knot
She has been through difficult times and is now living in a dangerous neighborhood
Been in the block wid ten crisp Gs in her pock
She has $10,000 in cash on her while in the neighborhood
She ain't startin it, joint off safety, three clips
She isn't looking for trouble, but she has her gun ready with three clips of ammunition
Peep the rear-view some dreads pulled back her whips
She saw some men with dreadlocks following her in her car's rear-view mirror
So she mercked off they mercked to and drama again
She ended up killing them, but that started more trouble for her
Just bought a first-class ticket going to Michigan
She bought a first-class plane ticket to Michigan
She tried to come out alive grabbed the joint then sat aside
She attempted to survive by grabbing her gun and sitting down
Thinking if she shoot first then her life can't be denied
She believed that if she shot first, it would guarantee her survival
Started blazing shorty was no joke she blinked
She began shooting at the dreadlocks and proved she wasn't playing around
Using rapid fire the dreads trying to hit her gas tank
She continued shooting quickly while the dreadlocks tried to shoot her car's gas tank
Testing Uzi ooh op the next man block hot
She tested her Uzi and the area around her became very hot with gunfire
Through the action four by-standers was shot
Four innocent people were shot during the shootout
But it continued, shorty hittin ninety, scraped the Benz
She continued driving at high speed and collided with a Mercedes-Benz
Still scaring begging Allah for her sins
She was still frightened and begging for forgiveness from Allah for her wrongdoings
Wid no friends she had to handle beef on the dolo
She had no friends to rely on and had to deal with her problems alone
3 shells came through the window one went through her Polo
Someone shot three bullets through the window and one hit her shirt
Now she swerving needing a doctor like Jay Ervin
She was now driving erratically and needed medical attention like Jay Ervin
2 other chickens that knew her severe lesson they was learning
Two other women who knew her were learning a lesson from what happened to her
Sipping Burbon she reloaded seeing her life being demoted
She drank bourbon and reloaded her gun while realizing her life was being ruined
Catch a flashback remember shit Scarface quoted
She remembered a quote from the movie Scarface
Still lickin of shell, feeling the fire of hell
She was still dealing with the aftermath of the shootout and the consequences of her actions
Moved in mad blood trying to make it back to the hotel
She was bleeding heavily but still trying to make it back to her hotel
Dread licked off a pack she had no chance to react
One of the dreadlocks began firing again and she had no time to respond
Firing emptying clips from fifty shot caps
The dreadlocks fired multiple rounds from their guns that had fifty-round magazines
2 more caught her in her back the others made the tire flat
Two more bullets hit her back and the remaining bullets flattened her tires
The car flipped 13 times dunn and dead was that
The car flipped over thirteen times and she died
