Morals and Standards Lyrics

[Mac Dre]
As the world turns, these are the days of our lives...
So it be told, so it was said... so it was read
Put the kids to bed...

I must warn ya... before I spit this next shit
Parental discretion is strongly suggested
One night I was grindin', out in the rain
Rollers caught me slippin', took a dive in the game

Caught five and some change, shipped to high desert
That's when I met him, this nigga Edgar
This nigga Edgar was cool, soon became my relly
We formed a tight bond, he was more than a celly

Shared with him pictures of me wife and kids
It wasn't no thang, shit, he showed me his

Didn't know he was a fake, a cheesecake
But the story unfolds on Edgar's release date

Edgar went to my house, bumped my bitch
Slept in my bed, and played with my kids
Ain't that a bitch? - I didn't trip, have fun

Just let me talk to my daughter, and my son
Edgar said, 'Dre, they don't love you no more
And I don't think you really should be callin' no more'
Oh no, I'mma have to murder
My dear wife, I'mma have to hurt her
It was a cold gloomy day when I got parole
Caught my man with the powder then I scored me some blow
Then I sat and I drank, got high as Eddie King

Prayed to the Lord and went and got my thang
Went to this fool house, in my pick-up
The kids get out at 2:00, someone will have to pick up
Then sure enough, up they rolled
Never in my life has my blood ran so cold
I didn't care, nor did it matter
It's murder when you fuckin' with my morals and standards...
My morals and standards... my morals and standards...

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Mac Dre catches a drug possession charge in the first verse and ends up in lock-up, where he becomes fast friends with his cellmate Edgar. He seems like a halfway decent guy until he gets out and takes it upon himself to track down Mac’s family and usurp his role as husband and father. The jig is immediately up when Mac gets out on parole and immediately comes to reclaim his place, murdering Ed in cold blood for stepping out of his station.
