Beads & Braids |
Yeah, oh yes |
I’m coming on a black on black charger |
Flawless to perfection |
My selection never harder |
Nappy til' I die |
Still keep it sharper than a barber |
Fresher than a marker |
That wrote the verse you quote |
Excuse me sir., I beg your pardon |
Niggas out here starving |
Hungry for the chance |
Any opportunity you got |
Just to stay advanced |
On the latest greatest fashion |
Whatever floats your boat |
Throw buy a mansion |
And yes, I ain’t no joke |
We are the realest that you witness |
It’s been a long time |
Long story short |
The music business tried to |
Pimp us, tried to kill us |
Tried to break a nigga spirit to no avail |
Now you hear us and we are back for the third |
Motherfucker record deal |
No more slave to the rhythm |
Never stitching' never |
Yes, I burnt a couple bridges |
But the bridges wasn’t real |
They were faker than the haters |
In my grill sayin' chill |
If I was you I would probably do the same thing |
So, I say ey, ey ey ey |
Tighter than beads and braids |
Motherfuck' what you say |
So, I say ey, ey ey ey |
Tighter than beads and braids |
Motherfuck' what you say |
They say: |
Gap look so fool |
Man, Nappy Roots, man they are so cool |
I while ago I met you, had the city booked too |
And the shows were wooing |
What ya’ll been doing? |
I thought ya’ll broke up |
Wha' shu gonn' rap about? |
Why you say south |
And leave Nappy Roots out? |
Are you still country? |
What’s it like in Kentucky? |
Why ya’ll niggas don’t rap about money? |
I heard |
But jazzy won’t help ya’ll |
If I had my brain right |
You know I would help out |
Keys to the city |
Solos on the way |
Know we are doing real estate |
More bread to break |
Last deal we was cool |
Now we’re at a better place |
And a better residence |
Stuffin' a bigger saint |
Think what you gotta think |
Say what you gotta say |
Nappy Roots forever |
Man! |
That’s a horse |
Yeah! |
So, I say ey, ey ey ey |
Tighter than beads and braids |
Motherfuck' what you say |
Be still |
My hair nappy |
Keep a sharp line |
And don’t stay pressed up |
Yup, fresh as money off an |
Cash, and designer cloth |
Cash, and grind them hoe |
Ya’ll just started |
We’ve been in the game a long time ago |
Spent three years locked up |
In the studio |
In my brain mining gold |
In my lane down the road |
Hanging like a loose tooth |
Banging since ‘94 |
Riding by slow |
Throw the news news |
Ey yo, why they signed ‘em for? |
Play them something I don’t know |
Neighborhood of six zeros |
Five heroes |
Who came out from the bottom floor (nappy) |
Now we are in a penthouse |
Residing in the big house |
Looking pass some haters and they can’t say shit now |
You ain’t got to buy no chain |
To let your diamond show |
Do your thang and dig |
And do it big like a dinosaur |
People always got something wrong to say |
I see ‘em tell ‘em shut up |
We got our own house today |
So, I say ey, ey ey ey |
Tighter than beads and braids |
Motherfuck' what you say |
So, I say ey, ey ey ey |
Tighter than beads and braids |
Motherfuck' what you say |
