| What’s the word, what’s the word
|
| Yo yo yo yo yo, yo yo (Mm, mm, mm)
|
| Turn me up on the headphones
|
| Two times, twist the herb
|
| Twist the herb, twist the herb (With a nigga like me, like)
|
| Yo yo yo yo yo, yo
|
| If looks could kill I let the swank drill like a deadly weapon
|
| I drop bombs on an enemy at any second, ugh
|
| Look at me wrong I turn you to tombstone
|
| Lock you in the crosshairs and you gone
|
| Then I throw my deuce up
|
| Sip sangritas with your señorita, like me gusta
|
| See what that early morning cock will do up to your rooster
|
| I bet my cockiness will boost her confidence
|
| Then you gon' wonder where your highness went
|
| I bet she get low for a nigga like me
|
| She get low for a nigga like me
|
| Bet she get low for a nigga like me
|
| Low for a nigga like me
|
| So we burn the Mary Jane 'til the third degree
|
| Some niggas biting flows, yo, that’s burglary
|
| Same niggas acting like they never heard of me
|
| A fuck nigga could get clocked, yo, that’s word to me
|
| He get blown for a nigga like me (Blown like me)
|
| Get his head exposed for a nigga like me (Smoked for a nigga like me)
|
| Put him on the floor for a nigga like me (Floor for a nigga like me)
|
| (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
|
| Yo, my mind boggles when time toggles
|
| In the ocean of stars it’s hard to find goggles, we twisted up
|
| So we put it in the air, don’t let the J’s start unravelling
|
| We getting blown like a javelin
|
| She throw it back like she time traveling
|
| Rocked the boat so well, she jumped out and started paddling
|
| I’m screaming «Land, ho!» |
| 'Bout to hit for sure (Sure)
|
| I motorboat it slow then I ripped the flow
|
| I’m pretty sure, like nice beaches
|
| That even at my weakest, I still leave 'em speechless
|
| How you like those peaches? |
| Find me rotting the apple
|
| 'Bout to bump so plump, 'bout to lock in the grapple
|
| Feeling like the highest man about to tackle
|
| Facts, like the tat under the cap of the Snapple
|
| Cats get decapitated for acting a fool
|
| Blacks get their ass sprayed just for making a move
|
| We get high and say «Fuck the police»
|
| That’s why we get high and say «Fuck the police»
|
| That’s why we get high and say «Fuck the police»
|
| Yo
|
| 'Cause every time I make a move, they be sweating me
|
| They want another Black man in penitentiary
|
| It’s even hard for that man standing next to me (Next to me)
|
| 'Cause he could catch a bullet that was really meant for me (Meant for me)
|
| It’s like every step bring me close to destiny
|
| And every breath I get closer to the death of me
|
| I’m just tryna carry out my own legacy
|
| But the place I call home ain’t letting me
|
| 'Cause you can’t get by if you don’t respect an OG
|
| You can’t get by if you don’t respect an OG
|
| You can’t get by if you don’t respect an OG (Respect, respect, respect)
|
| Cause every corner I turn a nigga testing me (Testing me)
|
| And every morning I mourn just for the less of me (Less of me)
|
| Sometimes I ask the Lord why he be blessing me (Blessing me)
|
| And not my brothers whose souls now rest in peace (Rest in peace)
|
| I pray there’s hope for a nigga like me
|
| Hope for a nigga like me
|
| Just pray there’s hope for a nigga like me (Hope for a nigga like me)
|
| I’m something like the chairman of the board, ranting
|
| I feel invincible like McMannon
|
| One of the last original emcees that’s left standing on the planet
|
| Strike like a meteor, do remedial damage, damn it
|
| Cats can’t stand it, get they ass handed and branded
|
| By the lyric-ill New York City bandit
|
| True Warrior like Rembrandt
|
| Yo, some cats claim they fly but really been landed
|
| I really can’t stand it (Yo), let me take a seat
|
| This where Rosa park her bum, now make some room for me
|
| PE in your beeper, hun you can read it and weep
|
| My old hoes call me now, leave a message at the beep
|
| I don’t wanna speak no I don’t wanna speak (I don’t wanna speak)
|
| I don’t wanna speak no I don’t wanna speak (I don’t wanna speak)
|
| I just wanna be, girl, I just wanna be
|
| I just wanna be free
|
| I pray there’s hope for a nigga like me
|

|
| I pray there’s hope for a nigga like me, for a nigga like me
|
| I pray there’s hope for a nigga like me, for a nigga like me
|
| I pray there’s hope for a nigga like me, for a nigga like me
|
