Me and all my brothers
Aunties, uncles cousins….
Been addicted to git’n
So fk’d up we
Can’t even function.

Bottles to da head like it’s nothin’
Headed to da licka'sto...
I KNOW you hear dat engine
RUMBLIN’

You are now rockin’ wit
Da best that eva did it,
if I ain’t
You’d neva know
Cuzza’how long
I ack’like my dick is.

B4 ya find out
Where I been,
You betta find some bid’niss,
Been ain’t shit
Since ain’t shit
Been a way of living.

Young nerdy habit nigga
Wit Inherited addictions
To nicotine, liquor and nigga’ism

But I also had enough sense
To not get caught in fuck shit…
…except for when puss was involved.

Cuz then I had no focus, fidelity
or couth at all.
On Center St. smashin’ every
bitch who that thought she could sing.

Smashin’ every bottle of liquor
my Black ass could drink,
while crackhead Larry da landlord
chargin’ $80 bucks for rent every
otha fuckin' week…

2nd Verse
Hoe, I came from da hood.
Where I got rib’d everyday
Cuz my momma raise me to
Talk good.

Articulately,
Annunciating every cot damned
Syllable
Every cot damned Sentence, bitch.

I was raised to say what’s on my mind
And speak strong.
Do tha right thang and tell heauxs
To take they ass ‘on.

Booshee nigga,
Wit extravagant taste,
Came from nothin’
More than once
So mutha FUCK what it takes.

Every day at da gig
Surrounded by white folks
Wo couldn’t give a fuck less
Bout da foke that I would DIE fo’.

I got broke nigga problems,
Middle class issues.
Suburban nigga in Target
THEY ain’t even got no tissue.

Pandemic Daddy-O
Up off da patio…
Hot tub Horatio
Up out da A/C heaux!

I stay-cationed
In the middle of
Racial demonstrations
No such thang
as relaxation for a dark light-skinned nigga.
