|
Neighborhood know he comin' |
|
Jakes hate him |
|
Snakes could not violate him |

Pimps memorize his lines-verbatim |
|
He reps N. |

|
C-notes to winos |
|

|
He walks the tenement |
|
Sleeps at his super fly condo |
|
My kinda nigga |

My Icon, my |
|
IdolNo certificate |
|
For this misfit who handle business |
|
The odds stacked against him |
|
He fights back mackin |
|
BenzesNever puts cash or ass |
|
Before friendship |
|
He laughs last? |
|
As some die young |
|
He is still existing |
|
Somehow he got around the pitfalls of the system |
|
When he walks we watch |
|
When he talks we listen |

|
Who do I follow? |
|
Who do I copy? |
|
Look in to the mirror |
|
And it's you |
|
I see look at me |
|
Everything new |
|
Like it fresh from the factory |
|
Everything you do? |
|
It impact me |
|
Your lifestyle attract me |
|
Parents try distract me |
|
When I grow up |
|
I want to be like you exactly |
|
And as soon as |
|
I get over this acne |
|
There's no way anybody coulda stop me |
|
Me gravitate toward the aura |
|
And all the mannerism |
|
The sending out of orders |
|
And man start moving busy |
|
The locking of the corners? |
|
The streets and all the buildings |
|
Mi love you like a father |
|
Mi ready and mi willing |
|
Anything what you a talk |
|
Is law in my dominion |
|
And mi have similar thoughts |
|
I share the same opinions |
|
Mi have it say you smart |
|
With mi best interest at heart |
|
I'm following your path |
|
Yow mine whe you a walk[CHORUS 3 - Stephen Marley] |
