Cell Therapy Lyrics

[Chorus]
Who's that peeking in my window?
Pow, nobody now (Nobody now)

Who's that peeking in my window?
Pow, nobody now (Nobody now)

[Verse 2: CeeLo Green]
Me and my family moved in our apartment complex
A gate with a serial code was put up next
The claim that this community is so drug-free
But it don't look that way to me
'Cause I can see the young bloods hanging out at the store 24/7
Junkies looking for a hit of the blow, it's powerful
Oh, you know what else they tryin' to do?
Make a curfew especially for me and you
The traces of the New World Order, time is getting shorter
If we don't get prepared, people, it's gon' be a slaughter
My mind won't allow me to not be curious
My folk don't understand, so they don't take it serious
But every now and then, I wonder if the gate was put up
To keep crime out or keep our ass in


[Chorus]
Who's that peeking in my window?
Pow, nobody now (nobody now)

Who's that peeking in my window?
Pow, nobody now (nobody now)
[Verse 3: T-Mo]
Listen up, lil' nigga—I'm talking to you
About what your little ass need to be going through
I fall a victim, too
And I know I shouldn't smoke so much, but I do
With the crew every day—on the average, 'bout four or five
I'm lucky to be alive at sunrise
Now, I realize the cost after I lost my best friend, Bean
I'm recognized as a kin, who am I to tell you to stop smokin'?
Now, you open to disease and colds
And ain't sixteen years old—this shit has got to stop
Let's take a walk through detox
I want out of this hole, I'm in a cell
Under attack—loc' up, folks, they in the hood
Got an eye on every move I make
Open your face to info you ain't know 'cause it's kept low
How the New World Plan reach the planet without the Black man

[Verse 4: Big Gipp]
So what's your aim?
Tryin' to separate me from the blood is disrespect
Like coming in my home and not wiping your feet on the rug
The Citron Absolut has got me bucking
No hang with no phony (Phony)
Look out for the man with the mask on the white pony
On my back are bills staying off my toes, always on my heels
Insane, plain soldiers coming in the dark by plane
To enforce the new system by reign
Tag my skin with your computer chip (Chip)
Run your hand over the scanner to buy your dish now (Now)

No more fishing for your fish (No more fishing for my fish)
Kiss the days of the old days, past ways, gone
Mind blown, conception, protection
My name on your selections but I caught you coming (Coming)
Pow!
[Chorus]
Who's that peeking in my window?
Pow, nobody now (Nobody now)

Who's that peeking in my window?
Pow, nobody now (Nobody now)
Who's that peeking in my window?
Pow, nobody now (Nobody now)

Who's that peeking in my window?
Pow, nobody now (Nobody now)

[Outro: Khujo]

Think about it
Use that tool between your two shoulders
