Channel Live – Temptation Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

Lead us not
Into temptation
But deliver us
From all the evil
There's a plague
Throughout the nation
That's infecting
All of our people

This nigga Black used to rest in LeFrak
He caught a setback
But seven year parole, now he wear a chef hat
At diners by the day, worked at UPS late shift
He hate shit, feeling whipped like he worked slave ships
He claim he saved by Christ, he tryin to lead his life right

Defeat the seeds in his wife, for every deed there's a price

Greed make him think twice, he saw his nigga Precise
Who got his name from when he was a hitman who ain't nice
I'm glad you home Black, remember them hits on phone taps
I know a hit for 50 I can get my loan back
Precise a known rat, who get your wig blown back
Black always known that, one night over shots of Cognac
He said fuck it, went up in Nantucket
The mark's name never instructed, Black's feeling like a puppet
His heart's beating, he gets a SkyPage reading
The mark's name Black, nigga, Precise speaking

It's all about illegal business, crime, murder, revenge
Hustling, sexy women
Jealousy, envy, greed, lust for money, power, and fame
All come out of a - (Temptation)
Enemies, friend and foe, high and low
All around you niggas, it's a - (Temptation)
No matter what you do, know it's a price you gotta pay

Here's the story of Shanique, she been a freak since twelve
Now she thirty, and her knees done swelled

Pop dukes been gone, stepdad half-grown
When momma not around, he won't leave her alone
Momma don't see the signs, she only see the dollar signs
Fine wine deafens out, the hollers and the cries
Time after time, Shanique accepts the bottom line

Defined by her body, and never for a mind
You got to use what you got, to get what you want
So she fronts in front of brothers with the brews and blunts
If you got the Lex, the sex is on the dome
Yo Shanique'll take you home, she's always down to bone

Eighteen with a son, twenty-two another one
Now she's thirty, and Shanique ain't done
She's in the bars with the stars, the scars begin to show
Reputation of a ho, the shape begins to go
Now she's tricking for the dough to pay the rent and not to mo'
Use drugs to get her high, Shanique is living low
With two sons neglected, Shanique feels rejected
Standing on the corner infected

It's all about illegal business, crime, murder, revenge
Hustling, sexy women
Jealousy, envy, greed, lust for money, power, and fame
All come out of a - (Temptation)
Enemies, friend and foe, high and low
All around you niggas, it's a - (Temptation)
No matter what you do, know it's a price you gotta pay

I wanna know how a nigga really feeling with all that ice grillin'
Me and my team at the bar, we get nice chillin'
Scaring the bitches with that ra-ra shit
You ain't woke nigga, I send that ass bye-bye quick
Look at me, I'm getting all riled, ready to wild
Once I style, watch how many suits they file
And I'm Black Rob, y'all gave me nuff support
Writing words for that coward to say in front the court
I mean they gave me no love, and they treat me like a thug

Bulletproof vest, gun, mask and the gloves

Pleaded no contest, an airtight case
Couldn't wait to tell the DA, fuck him to his face
I know y'all like the way I escape they grasp
I take they cash, and escape they ass
Mad as I wanna punch a nigga in his face
And I gotta maintain, I ain't tryin to catch a case

Lead us not
Into temptation
But deliver us
From all the evil
There's a plague
Throughout the nation
That's infecting
All of our people
