If I Only Had Words |
If I was gonna tell somebody |
I wanna make it clear that they see |
Ain’t no room for hidin' |
I want it to be you that would know |
Yo, I gotta give a shout out to my mom |
Yo, Miss Pam you the bomb |
You all that miss lady |
Yeah, look at your baby |
I’m all grown, representin' my home in a zone |
I’m proof that the ghetto has more than crack |
Man, I’m a black American dream |
And I work off pure, self esteem |
Just a lump of coal, pressure and time |
Changed to a diamond |
Out shinin', out rhymin', out climbin' |
And once I hit the mountain, spit like your main squeeze poutin' |
Fall like the Vatican can stop me |
Point the finger if you want, but I don’t know who you got |
I rose to the top, fresh out a bottomless pit |
And clawed my way, churned, crawled, balled and spit |
And every brother is the same as Dice |
Cause we all from the streets, we all have the same lighting |
Yo, the hoods bug, it’s time to make things right |
From north Philly to north Memphis to Cabrini Green |
To all the wards, East L.A., y’all know what I mean |
We from the same place as MJ and Martin Luther |
Hip hop changed corner boys to producers |
And if you look at it like that, It don’t seem that bad at all |
You wanna know how to make it? |
Just ask the Raw |
No matter fact, the truth is dawg |
Yo, you ain’t gotta ask at all, 'cause |
If I was gonna tell somebody |
I wanna make it clear that they see |
Ain’t no room for hidin' |
I want it to be you that would know |
So I can describe my frustrations, or describe my love |
Or describe the feeling, of looking up at a judge |
Or describe the girls playin' double dutch |
When we play kick ball |
Or play catch a girl, get a girl |
I know y’all remember that y’all |
The hood that I love is the one without drive bys |
Aye yo, the one we all love seen through a child’s eyes |
I watch Happy Days, everyone was happy with glee |
That’s when you think |
«Why wasn’t it like that for me?» |
But it’s all good because inside me is all hood |
Now when I ride inside all leather and wood |
Yo, make something out myself? |
Didn’t know that I could 'cause livin' with poverty |
Used to really bother me deep down inside |
My tears never dried, anger kept me grounded |
I never used my wings to fly |
But I ain’t tell you how I felt about the hood, so y’all can hate it |
I told you this so you can love it, and embrace it |
If I was gonna tell somebody |
I wanna make it clear that they see |
Ain’t no room for hidin' |
I want it to be you that would know |
