Lyrics This Time Around - Cantrell

This Time Around

This time around shit different
This time around won’t be no fuck shit nah nigga all us livid
Nah nigga all us get it
This time around shit different
This time around won’t be no fuck shit Nah nigga all us with it (yeah),
Nah this all our business
Mama checkin' on me ‘cause she know I’ll hit the streets
Black car, black tint, black skin, nigga can I breathe?
Niggas throwing up Bs, throwing up Cs, shooting through yo sheets
I wish Travis Luke could hit Zimmerman, Yada mean? Yeah I got a dream (oh they
ain’t gonna like this one)
It’s like they ain’t gon' stop ‘til we bust back (Hol' up wait)
I ain’t condonin' nun, I’m just sayin' homie that’s just facts (Hol' up wait)
Shoulders cold as Nova Scotia, be aware when you approach us we don’t dap it up
with vultures
Handshakes sanitized for all the dirt that y’all throw us (Hol' on I got a
secrt)
I bet you ain’t know God take sides… (mm)
You ither with the oppressed or the oppressor, either with the angels or you
with the devil Now you with the A ok well nigga let’s ride
This the silence of the lambs, tell me where’s the shepherd. Tell me where’s
the pastor, the Down South Georgia Boy with the helmet
How you feel? Black on black. Another straw the broke the camel’s back
How you greedy with some stolen land? We don’t wanna pull the hammer back
I can see it, I can feel it, I keep thinkin'… what would Malcolm do if he
could rap? If we don’t get the better we demand, then we gon' see you boys on
Heaven Ave
This time around shit different
This time around won’t be no fuck shit nah nigga all us livid
Nah nigga all us get it
This time around shit different
This time around won’t be no fuck shit Nah nigga all us with it (yeah),
Nah this all our business
This time around shit different
This time around won’t be no fuck shit nah nigga all us livid
Nah nigga all us get it
This time around shit different
This time around won’t be no fuck shit Nah nigga all us with it (yeah),
Nah this all our business
If I could just keep my pants from sagging
Keep my girl from naggin', black it’d be excellent yea? (Whoa)
Get a little money, little status, 12 wouldn’t get benevolent yea? (Whoa)
I mean if we edify, we can unify the ratchet and righteous
I think we’re past all the subtle reminders
I need more than Harris & Biden when battlin' serpents and vipers
That’s was too preachy? Black as the Baptist
Black as the Benz in the back for the pastor
Black as the fist when it’s raised and we at ya
I’ma need change for the chains nigga match it
Black as a panther in need of some answers
Black as Bobby, Huey, Hampton, and Angela
Black as Ex callin' me like it’s batter up
Jimmy Baldwin in the bookcase for stamina
Black as the heart when they damage us…
Black as the hole in my pockets, or black as square on IG when we standin' up
Blacken his eye if he man enough, white sheets get cleaned up and janitored
We really black, you Becky black like tannin' up ‘cause you ain’t black enough
(For the culture) Beefin with who?! We black as Slutty Vegan
It might take a minute but I need it scenic
I might break the meter just to free the dreamer
We too busy building, ain’t no gettin even
I… I can see it, I can feel it, I keep thinking… what would Martin do if he
could rap?
If we don’t get the better we demand, then Yahweh got the tooly on His lap
This time around shit different
This time around won’t be no fuck shit nah nigga all us livid
Nah nigga all us get it
This time around shit different
This time around won’t be no fuck shit Nah nigga all us with it (yeah),
Nah this all our business
This time around shit different
This time around won’t be no fuck shit nah nigga all us livid
Nah nigga all us get it
This time around shit different
This time around won’t be no fuck shit Nah nigga all us with it (yeah),
Nah this all our business
