A Prince Among Thieves

Prince Paul

featuring Sha




[T Bone]



"I tried to be there but you wouldn't let me in



before hustlin' we were friends!"




[True/Sha]



Damn what a price to pay



shows that torch you can't take away



now forever sleep is where your body'll lay



restin' in peace is what I hope and pray



Shit what I will tell your moms



as she breakin' down in the brother's arms



but she don't know the truth so I've the only chance



he started buggin' callin' in the work



kept another theme so they called him Kirk



after he got caught he got real berserk



found out he was smokin' from a cavilled world



I wanted to be the first one to play it at



Yo son, I'd only sow but he used crack



and this is somethin' that I can't believe



comin' from A Prince among Thieves!




[T-Bone]



"Sometimes I wondered but I didn't understand



just when you were trying to go, won you the bet



I tried to be there but you wouldn't let me in



before hustlin' we were friends!"




[True/Sha]



I thought I would have been better if I'd just let'em be



but he started showin' two faces one for you one for me



I watched though change ?shit's so Mitchell what's re-strange?



leave on a train get dropped back off in a range



a friendship taken aback conceived ya coped gain



lookin' at your mummy, yah two can feel your pain



Yo son, my man, I didn't dig the trap



what in the world would have pushed him to do that



a god fearin' boy has high erased him



mummy don't blame yourself when you are gettin' praised



raisin' two kids strugglin' all alone



takin' what life had to offer your
