Yo, are you a pimp, a hustler? No I'm not |
|
Are you a man, and can you stand alone |
|
Like a man has to sometimes? Yes I can |
|
Are you willing, to go out there |
|
And save the lives of our children |
|
Even if it means losin' your own life? Yes I am |
|
I believe you Jeru, you're ready |
|
You've no-no-nothin' to worry about |
|
Now, I don't push a Lex |
|
Others had their turn to flex, Jeru is up next |
|
All, these so called players up in the rap game |
|
Got brothers on the corner sellin' cooked ******* |
|
It used to be La Toya and, Jim Hats |
|
But now it's Uzis Macs and, G-packs of cracks |
|
Everybody's psycho or some type of good fellow |
|
But me, I keep it real that's all swine like Jello |
|
Don't drink Cristal, and I can't stand Mo |
|
Never received currency for movin' a kilo |
|
Or an ounce, make 'em bounce to this fake-pimp free flow |
|
I never knew hustlers, confessed in stereo |
|
Or on video get caught you'll know who turned |
|
State's evidence, murder weapon, confession and fingerprints |
|
Mama always said, "Watch what comes out your mouth" |
|
Tight case for the D A from here to down South |
|
Knowledge wisdom understanding like King Solomon's wealth |
|
You're a player but only because you be playin' yourself |
|
With all that Big Willie talk, hop, ya playin' yaself |
|
With all that big gun talk, bop, ya playin' yaself |
|
With all that rah rah rah, ya playin' yaself |
|
Ya playin' yaself, ya playin' yaself |
|
With all that rah rah rah, ya playin' yaself |
|
With all that big gun talk, bop, ya playin' yaself |
|
With all that Big Willie talk hop, ya playin yaself |
|
Ya playin' yaself, ya playin' yaself |
|
Now these ladies is lookin' pretty from city to city |
|
I refined a few I met, around the country |
|
The nitty gritty, it's all reality, no question |
|
Actual fact like tight jeans cause yeast infections |
|
And sisters with good minds get no respect when |
|
Their ass is all hangin' out, playin' the bar section |
|
Of the club shake what your mama gave ya, back to the lab |
|
I drop the truth, 'cause rhymin' is more than just my craft |
|
Or a way to get ass or fast cash or blasted |
|
Black women, make sure you're respected |
|
When *****z is kickin' that old off the wall *******t, |
|
Let 'em know from jump, "Dead it", you're not ignorant |
|
Knowledge, wisdom, understandin' is the key to wealth |
|
Put some clothes on that ass if you respect yourself |
|
With those hooker type wears, hon, ya playin' yaself |
|
With those skin tight jeans, baby, ya playin' yaself |
|
Everythin' all exposed ya playin' yaself |
|
Ya playin' yaself, ya playin' yaself |
|
Everythin' all exposed ya playin' yaself |
|
With those skin tight jeans, baby, ya playin' yaself |
|
With those hooker type wears, hon, ya playin' yaself |
|
Ya playin' yaself, ya playin' yaself |
|
Now, I don't bust a tec, bubble drugs |
|
In the projects, or use mics to sell sex |
|
*****z, nowadays is all about this |
|
So much ying yang, it's ridiculous |
|
If you got so much cheese where are the black distributors |
|
And these record companies shake 'em down like mobsters |
|
But impostors, like commercial locks are not rastas |
|
Always fakin' moves, never, makin' moves |
|
Asses shake, bottles pop, the government is breakin' down |
|
You fools, you work all week and give the devil |
|
Back his loot for jewels |
|
And the steak on your plate is filled with chemicals |
|
Still, brothers leave brothers all battered and bruised |
|
On the streets won't see snakes on my feet |
|
The race is on, but I won't compete in this competition |
|
Because I have a greater mission |
|
I hope that you listen |
|
Knowledge, wisdom and understanding brings, long life and health |
|
Think anything else and ya playin' yaself |
|
So all that Big Willie talk, hop, ya, playin' yaself |
|
And all those skin tight jeans, hon, ya playin' yaself |
|
And all that rah rah rah, ya, playin' yaself |
|
Ya, playin' yaself, ya, playin' yaself |
|
And all those hooker type wears, baby, ya playin' yaself |
|
And all that big gun talk money, ya playin' yaself |
|
Everything all exposed, ya playin' yaself |
|
Ya playin' yaself, ya playin' yaself |
|
I don't play |
