Gramma this one's for you (stay strong) | |
(chorus) | |
(he's strong!) | |
Mama mama mama mama i couldn't say 'no' | |
(so strong!) | |
Got sick and tired of seein' brothers being treated ill | |
(he's strong!) | |
They say to chill, they say my homey's not available | |
(stay strong!) | |
I hear mama they got him working on tha payroll | |
(she's strong!) | |
Mama mama mama mama i couldn't say 'no' | |
(so strong!) | |
Got sick and tired of seein' sistas being treated ill | |
(she's strong!) | |
They say to chill, they say my homegirl's not available | |
(stay strong!) | |
I hear mama they got her working on tha payroll | |
At 21 the brother 'smooth' he got a record deal | |
Been working hard been writin' songs about the things he feels | |
He says it's real, 'cause i got bills, but i got skills | |
My deck is stacked, if i could only get my shit on wax | |
When it was ripe he took his tape up to the rec execs | |
They smoked cigars and rolled their eye's at him behind their specs | |
Your shit is phat but i don't hear it in the format jack | |
What's all this black crap check page twenty one of your contract | |
(chorus) | |
A friend of mine roberta she got a job at the post office | |
She was college edjamacated but got fired up at the law office | |
I'm all alone two kids at home, i need a job just any job | |
So i can get back on my feet like tina 't'(urner) | |
The boss came up to her said, 'why don't you come home with me' | |
I'd like to see you take off your clothes for me | |
She said 'no way man!' | |
He said 'you don't understand' | |
'you lose your life, you lose your job if you don't do this shift!' | |
(chorus) | |
I met a black man who became a police officer | |
Officer, officer, officer, officer, officer, overseer | |
He tried to tell me it was the only job available | |
Either rob or join the mob 'cause i'm not salable | |
One night he went out on an undercover sting-ing | |
Bought some smack tried to break the heroin ring-ring | |
Two cops white cops saw juggling goin' down | |
They spilled his brain like homey the fuckin' clown | |
(he's gone!) | |
Mama mama mama mama i couldn't say no | |
Got sick and tired of seein' people bein' treated ill | |
Picked up my nines, walked up from behind | |
Tapped two of them on the neck so i could meet their eyes direct | |
Pom! pom! | |
I didn't do it for tha payroll | |
(chorus) |
