| Skull and crossbones and death bandannas
|
| A liquor store on every corner in Atlanta
|
| Cops ridin' around tossin' niggas in the slammer
|
| Tell me what’s wrong
|
| I could really use some answers
|
| Now-a-days everybody wants to be a rapper
|
| About two years ago everybody was a trapper
|
| Obviously, money is what everybody’s after
|
| Cause slavery ain’t change
|
| It’s a modern day disaster
|
| Now these are my words from me to you
|
| Everything you do from your shades to your shoes
|
| From your chains to your Coupe
|
| Came from the tube
|
| Trust me I would know
|
| I was raised on it too
|
| Okay, now just let me get your attention
|
| I’m a turn the tables so you don’t get defensive
|
| I’m a put my bullshit aside for a second
|
| Cause I can’t be fake
|
| Cause God won’t let me
|
| I used to wear a grill
|
| Because it was the trend
|
| Not because I liked it
|
| I just wanted to fit in
|
| Then I got «Eastside"tatted on my skin
|
| And I tried to get dreads but my hair was too big
|
| But I was lost
|
| I ain’t know who I was
|
| What else was there to do besides look like a thug
|
| So in my senior year at Columbia High
|
| I dropped out of high school and I got signed
|
| B.o.B. |
| was the name
|
| I ain’t like Bobby Ray cause I was ashamed
|
| But you can call me Bobby Ray from this day forth
|
| And I could give a damn about the fame and fortune
|
| Honestly I don’t even listen to rap
|
| Cause when I turn the radio on, out comes crap
|
| And if you make good music that’s okay
|
| But on the radio, that they don’t play
|
| It’s easy to see we created a beast
|
| Cause everybody wants to hear what they don’t need
|
| And now all the rappers got to struggle to give you
|
| That bullshit music so they can continue
|
| To live
|
| The position that I’m in
|
| Is quite an interesting predicament I will admit
|
| But you can count on me cause I’m refusing to give in
|
| Cause I’m a give you music cause we need it to exist
|
| Bitch
|
| So I’m a play my guitar
|
| Rap about aliens and sing about stars
|
| Till you understand that’s what we are
|
| So we ain’t got to struggle no more so we don’t starve
|
| I swear to God I love you with every bar
|
| We all got problems that need to be solved
|
| So while I got the mic I’m a speak my thoughts
|
| And I’m a keep it real till the day I fall |
