| [00:18.68] |
Regardless if I'm chillin backstage |
| [00:19.85] |
or on tour |
| [00:20.60] |
With my homie Young Fly |
| [00:21.77] |

| [00:22.89] |
Never hesitate to call me |
| [00:24.30] |

| [00:25.15] |
Cause homie I'm real |
| [00:26.19] |
and I'm always true to my loved ones |
| [00:27.45] |
Too many wakes |
| [00:28.31] |
and funerals full of tears |
| [00:29.62] |
You say there's something on your mind |
| [00:30.91] |
well here I'm all ears |
| [00:31.79] |
Cause nobody thinking about |
| [00:33.00] |
the funk that you're choosin it |
| [00:34.19] |
A lot of my homies |
| [00:35.06] |
stuck in the pen for life |
| [00:35.98] |
for losin it |
| [00:36.52] |
Call up your folks |
| [00:37.24] |
you keep thinkin about home |
| [00:38.49] |
Recorder keeps repeating |
| [00:39.54] |
and there's a block on the phone |
| [00:40.66] |
And all of this is enough |
| [00:41.85] |
to make a brother's nerves bad |
| [00:43.28] |
Reminds me of a sitution |
| [00:44.33] |
that I once had |
| [00:45.26] |
Spent that |
| [00:45.96] |
spent this |
| [00:46.45] |
endless relentless |
| [00:47.46] |
tremendous women on my jock |
| [00:49.09] |
And don't nobody mindin business |
| [00:50.52] |
He say she say |
| [00:51.55] |
throwin salt about it |
| [00:52.60] |
And choose to talk about you |
| [00:53.70] |
cause there's nothing else to talk about |
| [00:55.03] |
Talk about the show |
| [00:55.84] |
and the flow and all the clout |
| [00:57.01] |
Then be real with yourself |
| [00:58.13] |
and talk about and turned it out |
| [00:59.19] |
It's not hard to compete |
| [01:00.20] |
when his name is poppin |
| [01:01.37] |
A scared man can never win |
| [01:02.68] |
that's why I stay clockin |
| [01:03.74] |
Fools be huffin and puffin |
| [01:05.02] |

| [01:06.16] |
I'm down |
| [01:06.63] |

| [01:22.67] |
I'll be around |
| [01:27.81] |
Life ain't based on |
| [01:28.89] |
peaches and cream |
| [01:29.95] |
This new generation |
| [01:31.00] |
lost a whole lot of dreams |
| [01:32.19] |
Future doctors, |
| [01:33.17] |
producers and mothers |
| [01:34.36] |
The list goes on |
| [01:35.47] |
but now we killin our brothers |
| [01:36.59] |
And if we killin our brothers |
| [01:37.71] |
that means we're killin our own kind |
| [01:38.83] |
These kids is watchin |
| [01:39.95] |
now it goes to their mind |
| [01:41.13] |
Rat tat a tat |
| [01:42.24] |
cause you got a gat |
| [01:43.29] |
Then they want a gat |
| [01:44.35] |
you livin like that? |
| [01:45.53] |
Moms ain't cookin |
| [01:46.77] |
she worked the week straight |
| [01:48.01] |
If anything |
| [01:48.63] |
she's the one that deserves |
| [01:49.53] |
a hot plate |
| [01:50.33] |
The ghetto |
| [01:50.77] |
the ghetto ain't nothin to dream about |
| [01:52.33] |
Tryin to get out |
| [01:53.39] |
now that's somethin to think about |
| [01:54.50] |
Fools might disagree |
| [01:55.62] |
but I'm a stay sucka free |
| [01:56.92] |
Now I'm so black |
| [01:57.86] |
and so strong |
| [01:58.42] |
they can't fade me |
| [01:59.29] |
Blacks are blacks worst enemy |
| [02:00.74] |
there's still no remedy |
| [02:01.80] |
You got me for a grip |
| [02:03.04] |
do you call yourself kin of me? |
| [02:04.22] |
Jealousy |
| [02:04.81] |
envy |
| [02:05.38] |
I see it in your eyes |
| [02:06.37] |
Tell me what's wrong |
| [02:07.40] |
with seeing a black man rise |
| [02:08.43] |
I keep it funky |
| [02:09.23] |
it's pretty hard to miss it |
| [02:10.25] |
now is it explicit |
| [02:11.11] |
A message for the mind |
| [02:12.57] |
and the moral of statistics |
| [02:13.68] |
So I'm doin what we call a roll call |
| [02:15.49] |
Talkin about the ones |
| [02:16.36] |
who want rap then take a downfall |
| [02:17.62] |
I spit the street life |
| [02:18.73] |
and then I go underground |
| [02:19.79] |
You silly |
| [02:20.45] |
it's called versatility |
| [02:21.51] |
and I'll be around |
| [02:23.33] |
Whenever you call me |
| [02:25.25] |
I'll be there |
| [02:26.82] |
(Yeah all you bustas) |
| [02:27.94] |
Whenever you want me |
| [02:29.50] |
(yeah I was down) |
| [02:30.33] |
I'll be there |
| [02:30.67] |
(but I'll be around) |
| [02:31.77] |
Whenever you need me |
| [02:34.13] |
I'll be there |
| [02:36.28] |
I'll be around |
| [02:41.13] |
Things are gettin crucial |
| [02:42.19] |
you gotta exercise your mind |
| [02:44.29] |
Or learn about life |
| [02:45.41] |
before you're left behind |
| [02:46.59] |
But how you gonna get it right |
| [02:47.97] |
when you're not doin right |
| [02:49.03] |
When you get mad |
| [02:50.01] |
all you want is a gunfight |
| [02:51.20] |
This tension causes |
| [02:52.25] |
a gang of madness |
| [02:53.38] |
Now you want funk |
| [02:54.68] |
that results to sadness |
| [02:55.61] |
Sadness results |
| [02:56.75] |
to a lot of revenge |
| [02:57.69] |
And you're so called friends |
| [02:58.81] |
really ain't you're friends |
| [02:59.90] |
So how do you know |
| [03:01.01] |
who you're able to trust |
| [03:02.20] |
If you think about the past |
| [03:03.31] |
look what happened to us |
| [03:04.37] |
I never trust no one |
| [03:05.49] |
I only trust myself |
| [03:06.55] |
Or I would've been a victim |
| [03:07.78] |
like everyone else |
| [03:08.84] |
In friendship or hardship |
| [03:10.02] |
whenever you need me |
| [03:11.08] |
Just give me a call G |
| [03:12.28] |
I won't deceive thee |
| [03:13.39] |
These fools be shakin |
| [03:14.46] |
best believe they're fakin |
| [03:15.64] |
Just tryin to get a grip |
| [03:16.82] |
of all the money you're makin |
| [03:17.94] |
This ain't race |
| [03:18.57] |
a mind is a terrible thing to waste |
| [03:20.50] |
I drop the rap |
| [03:21.37] |
and J drops the bass |
| [03:22.42] |
To the flow |
| [03:22.94] |
cause ain't nobody get with Fo |
| [03:24.53] |
