The word has got around about the titles you be taking
From homies who be faking, and practicing the moves of a snake and
All the streets are the day black and white
And give up
Hoes
One God, one tribe, feel the vibe that I
Throw your hands up in the air and keep ’em swinging
I’m sick and tired of letting cats win
And people putting bruises on my beautiful black skin
So I teach ’em a lesson through a Hip-Hop session
Let ’em know that Imma keep on steppin’
You don’t know me to judge me
And if you knew me, your thoughts wouldn’t budge me
Knowledge in the music is way to get through
And it also works for you
So what’cha gonna do?
Screw face people a monkey sample
Smile, pretty people, mek mi see your dimple
