Oasis Lyrics

by Shabazz The Disciple

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]

We came a long way up from fighting court cases

Running the streets dirty with guns on our waists

Tryna be a man feed a fam and build a basis

Treaded the sandhills, hip hop is my oasis



[Verse One]

It all began up in 100 dwight

When my uncle younganutt handed me my first mic

At 13 years old, I realized it was a road

And at the end I would win lots of pots of gold

Never lost the flame, never divorced the game

Everybody who know me know I paid the cost for fame

To be a billionaire, the god struggled for years

Some nights I shed tears when I said my prayers

Been shot at alot of times for slinging nickels and dimes

On the road to the riches that was paved with crime

I was sought of caught in between the streets and a mic

Niggaz never touched the knuckles

Cause they knew I could fight

Red Hook was one projects easy to get killed in

My mother always told me stay from underneath them buildings

I scrambled all my life, finally I found my purpose

I'ma be a disciple to hip hop long as the earth twist



[Chorus]



[Verse Two]

My mother and Mrs. Irene had me, Klief, and Elliot sing

+Rappers Delight+ by the Sugarhill Gang, at her baby shower

Now I realize that's what gave me power

At 8 years old that was my first hip hop encounter

Then I went on playing keyboards with adam ellis

Only 12 but we could play whatever people tell us

In the halls of Red Hook, I was the king of the beat box

Back when me and Mr. Ice walked around singing rock box

He was the nicest emcee in the hook on Red Hook day

When niggaz saw us behind the ropes they were shook

We feint to lace the mic and young always allowed us

Used to go from block to block to battle

And people would crowd us

On staircases with rah and sha the ganja would spark me

I was fiending to battle dougie fresh, buff and biz markie

Was always a ghetto star and highly respected

Lashawna always asked me when I'm gonna make a record

People seen something in me I didn't see in myself

Shit I was only having fun, niggaz loved how it felt

My 2 daughters denysha, yay-yay, my whole family

I dedicate this to y'all for believing in me



[Chorus]



[Verse Three]

I come from humble beginnings, a project apartment

7 kids on 2 beds, the rest on the carpet

My mother raised her brothers and sisters on welfare

As well as her own kids, and she didn't have any healthcare

Now we tryna get houses with cars in garages

Manage twa's, bubble hot tub massages

Laughing all the way to the bank with my goddess

Tryna put gold bars in the safe, platinum artist

No longer settling for the crumbs on the cake

No more embezzling or we running from jake

Shopping sprees copping threes rocking designer things

No more selling poppy seeds or hocking diamond rings

Celebration of life, everyday's like christmas

Taking my baby girls on trips, and fulfilling their gift list

Sending my ol' earth on vacation on the love boat

After a cruise around the world she comes home to a fur coat

Relax with black sand all up between her toes on beaches

Enjoying the breeze from palm trees, sipping crushed peaches

Shit, back in the days the only island niggaz been on was rikers

Doing pushups with them lifers!



[Chorus]
