Bullet Lyrics


Straight out of high school
We didn’t know what to do
Wanted to go to college
But no money was nothing new
Wanted to get away
Go, see the world and do something new
He got approached
In the mall by the army recruit
Told him if he wanna go to school we got money too
Sign up at eighteen, you’ll be out when you twenty-two
He joined the army airborne, got his uniform
Went to boot camp, got some discipline
Arrived at where they shippin' him
He’s in the mist of all bullets flying and missing him
Wishing he was a kid again with his family in Michigan
In the midst of fighting militia men
One round took down six of them
He ain't really a killer though, taking a lot of risks

This is what a poor person do for a scholarship, yeah
He turned around and got a face full of hollow tips
But don’t be sad he died for the flag
What you done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won’t be long before
You’re pulling yourself away
What you done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won’t be long before
You’re pulling yourself away
Papa was a playa, knew just what to say to
Get the women back to his layer and lay her
If sex had a trophy, he’s the heisman touch down
Getting models, R&B chicks and Buzz downs
He got the women with crazy stairs,
With his lady there, they ain't care, they like, ooh look at his baby hair
He took them all, put them in a line
Hit five new chickens, he thought they were fine
He got head from five dope fiends smoking it down
But did it all wrong dawg it ain't dog or it ain't lying
Till he woke up one season with legions
He went to the doctor asking what was the reason
Tests ran positive, he couldn’t believe 'em
He tried to blame God asked him why did He leave him
Pleading, please let the disease leave him
From women that he conquered, he caught the cost
What you done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won’t be long before
You’re pulling yourself away
What you done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won’t be long before
You’re pulling yourself away
Bullet and a target
Between a bullet and a target
Between a bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
Now when the sun goes down
On our side of town
When the other side of the block
Where cops sing around
On the same side of the street
That pac hit the ground
Not in Vegas 'cause every nigga
Got Pac in them now
When my guys hit the block
And we provin' we thugs
I ain't on, no swim team
But you see pools of blood
Skip juve when you die
Seeing who’s the judge
Oh, you married to the game
Prove your love
Prove it, here's this rap shorty, shoot it, do it, this, do it
This ain't a game, this an organized movement
My hurt, my love, my pain, my stress
My strife, my wife, my life, my test
We made for more, we die for less
When you starvin' in the ghetto I'ma write the rest
See my girl think I'm hard and my momma think I'm odd
But when I'm all up in the dark I just fall on my knees
What you done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won’t be long before
You’re pulling yourself away
What you done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won’t be long before
You’re pulling yourself away
A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Shari Watson (born 1972 in St. Louis, Missouri), known as Truth Hurts, is an American R&B singer. She is noted for her funky and powerful vocal style.
After signing to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment label, Truth Hurts first appeared on Busta Rhymes' 2001 hit single "Break Ya Neck" as a background vocalist. For her first solo LP Truthfully Speaking, issued on Aftermath in 2002, she enlisted the production talents of Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Hi-Tek, and DJ Quik. Her debut single, "Addictive," was a Top 10 hit in the United States, and featured a verse from hip hop artist, Rakim.

The song, produced by DJ Quik, utilized an uncleared sample of "Thoda Resham Lagta Hai" by Hindi artist Lata Mangeshkar. The copyright holders sued Aftermath and parent company Interscope Records for $500 million dollars, and issued an injunction against further sales or performances of the record. A judge later ruled that the album was not to be sold with out being stickered with proper credits for Mangeshkar.

In summer of 2002, Truth Hurts secured a high profile spot on the Smokin' Grooves tour with Lauryn Hill, Outkast, Cee-Lo, The Roots, Jurassic 5, and Erykah Badu.[3] However, following the buzz on "Addictive", Truth Hurts became relatively obscure, only contributing guest vocals to "The Watcher 2" on Jay-Z's Blueprint 2 album and "What" on Eve's Eve-Olution. To date, she remains as a one-hit wonder in both America and the UK. "Addictive" was followed up by a song called "The Truth" featuring R. Kelly on the chorus. The song underpeformed on American radio and video outlets. This was likely due in part to the firestorm of negative press Kelly received over sex crime allegations that hit media outlets shortly before the single's release.

Truth Hurts returned in 2004 with her second album, Ready Now, on Raphael Saadiq's independent Pookie Entertainment label. Its first single, "Ready Now", was released in the summer of 2004 without much fanfare, but being critically acclaimed due to its high quality, mainly because of the work of legendary Raphael Saadiq, who executively produced the album and produced most of the songs in it. Some sources state that a Georgia based record company is looking for Truth Hurts for a possible spot on a movie soundtrack. Dream Leader Ent CEO Carlton Richard has stated that he has been a long time fan of hers and would like to know if she would be interested in being on the soundtrack. No word yet on if and when this project will be available.
