Lyrics:

Sometimes because of jealousy and the intent to demise
Certain factions have to be forbidden or destroyed
Fire has to be sent to the poisoned forest
With the root of fresh trees planted elsewhere
Only then will you obtain a wilderness
That cannot be penetrated, petrified—family tree

See what started as a family forest got cut
To a family tree with the limbs and the leaves
Lookin' at the world for answers, the world points to the sun
And the sun says the answer's in me
So I search through the darkness, can't find the key
So we locked in the land of the lost, Lord, please
Tomorrow ain't promised to you nor me
So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees

Many minds always meet with pens and sheets
Close my eyes, think what next on my rhymes, see this face in ink
I'm havin' visions of wisdom, dreamin' 'bout my own endin'
Am I seein' death as freedom and livin' as prison?
My son didn't have a daddy to shape him
So God bless him with a daddy to save him, yeah, I raise him (Come here, man)
And pays him attention, he talked and he listened (What?)
To reach him and teach him before I'm gone from existence (Haha)
Teach him 'bout the foes, the hoes and all opponents
Those that always talk 'bout love but never shown it (My bad)
Those who had the chances to stand and always blown it
Those that set you up by the hour to steal your moment (Watch it)
Pop, the word is you ain't there so fuck the rumor
I'll get a pound of that shit from Bermuda and meet you in Cuba
Fucked up on Larusa no doubt, I know the locale
If they gotta born you, I'm gonna mourn you 'til I join you

See what started as a family forest got cut
To a family tree with the limbs and the leaves
Lookin' at the world for answers, the world points to the sun
And the sun says the answer's in me
So I search through the darkness, can't find the key
So we locked in the land of the lost, Lord, please
Tomorrow ain't promised to you nor me
So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees

Uhh, and now I know I got some family
Who missed me from the heart, forever we're apart
Just because I'm nothin' and you abuse me and use me
Now you wanna try to go bruise me (Say what?)
And even though maybe we'll end up farther than it once was
I know family don't always mean that they blood, 'cause
Some people just don't give a, nigga, what?
Some people tried to use my name so all the fat we had to cut (Cut)
And I'm still walking with my six amp strut
Urban eyes see through camouflage and now I know who's butt
So when I sensed you tried to play me, all of a sudden now I'm shady
Maybe deep down in my heart, never trust you from the start (Woo)
Never hoped you'd be my homie, don't come 'round my way (Hey)
And if we never speak again, it's got to be that way (Way)
This millennium, we'll be spankin' your heinie
Remind thee Naughty invented family of the '90s ('90s)

See what started as a family forest got cut
To a family tree with the limbs and the leaves
Lookin' at the world for answers, the world points to the sun
And the sun says the answer's in me
So I search through the darkness, can't find the key
So we locked in the land of the lost, Lord, please
Tomorrow ain't promised to you nor me
So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees

Life doesn't end when the sweat dries
The time where a nickel cost a dime and when you rise, you're chastised
My dynasty many fear it 'cause I'm near it
Ancient Egyptian scriptures fitted in through hieroglyphics
Motherfuckers try to touch my mental state
Niggas smile up in your face and then they infiltrate
So it seems nowadays that the only plan
To get my people, help my people get a load of land
And I'ma see it if I have to kill some shit (Kill some shit)
To make my family tree a motherfuckin' wilderness
See a black man standin' on the promised land
Since they broke every promise, I devised a plan (Check it, this what we gon' do)
This black this and black that crap is gettin' touchy
Any black hat that cross my path, I call him lucky
Those who turn they back with they fears and try to D us (What?)
Before they can see us, they gonna need a sweet Jesus

See what started as a family forest got cut
To a family tree with the limbs and the leaves
Lookin' at the world for answers, the world points to the sun
And the sun says the answer's in me
So I search through the darkness, can't find the key
So we locked in the land of the lost, Lord, please
Tomorrow ain't promised to you nor me
So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees
See what started as a family forest got cut
To a family tree with the limbs and the leaves
Lookin' at the world for answers, the world points to the sun
And the sun says the answer's in me
So I search through the darkness, can't find the key
So we locked in the land of the lost, Lord, please
Tomorrow ain't promised to you nor me
So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees

For those that don't know
Is Treach built for speed? Is Treach built for
For all of the things that-that come his way?
I feel as thought Treach is built to last
I put God first and he open all the doors for me
Everything I'm doin' so
My faith takes me further than-than anything
My faith in God and knowin' that
You know, I'm prepared because He-He prepared me
He got me where I'm at right now
I wouldn't be here if he didn't want me here for a reason
You know what I mean? Naughty by Nature's not through for a reason
In hip-hop and the world needs by Naughty by Nature
So we here and we gon' be here, and like I said God-I'm-I'm a soldier of God
So I fear nothin' but God 'cause I feel as though I could accomplish whatever the fuck I want, word up
