Intro

Psssshh I guess niggaz don't realize a good thing til it's gone

You know what I'm sayin man?

Runnin around in these streets trickin shit's hard man

You know? But sometimes man

fools be bringin that shit on they god damn self

Verse One

Nappy headed nigga stigmatism at birth

Born to a family of four and so that makes me one fourth

of a dysfunctional home

I had a father who only stayed to see me grown

When I turned twelve he was gone

Alone, no role model

I used to watch my Granddaddy and Uncle hit the bottle

and then hit each other

Granddaddy beat Grandmother, but that's before my time

but I still see how it affected her mind

As a child I introverted, and drew pictures

While my mother prayed to Jesus reading King James scriptures

She used to take me to church so I could put money in the basket

Tell the preacher how she used to get her ass kicked

And me, I mastered the art of hatred

After pops left ran with my niggaz tryin to take shit

Petty theft, I got caught a few times, but bust it

Life is a bitch so fuck it

In eighty-one I remember the night

I covered myself with baby powder, so my black ass could be light

Cause God is white, and Bo Derek is a ten

I hate my black skin, it's just a sin to be a nigga

Then again, I'm like the Frenchman, cause Granny's creole

And therefore, we're black French people

So I think it's best if I go to Catholic school

And study under nuns and then I'll be a Catholic fool

Cause none of these cults want none of us up

and don't none want to see none of us live to be adults, sheeit

No wonder brothers take lives for red and blue

It's the evil that men do
