The Onus (What You Are) |
Now you can blame it on the blunts and beer |
Or my utter lack of fear when I’m draggin in her ear |
Like, ain’t no commitments girl, we just kickin it right? |
Laughin at the prophylactic I just slipped it inside (ahh) |
Cause I ain’t trippin I like runnin raw daddy |
Not knowin nine months from that moment I’ll be called daddy |
All mad and indignant when I heard the news |
Cursin, trippin but it was COOL when I was diggin it |
But now it’s bitch (BEEITCH!) this and it’s ho that |
And it’s a lot of other words that I can’t hold back |
Man I don’t want no kids, girl you KNOW that |
But shit, you barely know my name let alone where my dome at |
We got it on way before that |
Didn’t know, or hadn’t even seen her sober |
Only thought in my mind was getting over |
Now the seed a sewed her bout to drop (woo!) |
And all I do is clutch my bottle and wallow in sorrow |
With each swallow, livin for yesterday (man FUCK tomorrow!) |
All my accusations and allegations, they ring hollow |
Cause I ain’t got nobody in the world to blame but me (I know, I know) |
(Pep Love) |
What you are is what you do |
You better watch yourself cause they’re watching you |
Your own mistakes could be your biggest obstacles |
But if you believe, you can achieve the impossible |
(Pep Love) and |
(And if you don’t know what to do that’s on you (on you)) |
(And if you’re without a clue that’s on you (on you)) |
(Pep Love) |
He always wanted to have shit |
Cause this nigga never had shit |
It, even influenced him to get into bad shit |
Like, shoplifting and, party crashin |
All for the cash and fashion, he smashin |
But, he was smarter than the average shit starter |
Had it all planned out, how he was going to Harvard |
Hard as it seems, he was working toward his dreams |
But still into things, never for the surrendering |
So (so), when the wind blows, his ten toes, wiggle |
And then he’s out of his bedroom window |
Livin in the moment doing whatever he wanted |
When his homework is done, he’s in another zone |
With his crimies, breakin into cars and houses |
Thinkin his getaway’s clean, but how’s about this? |
One of his boys got caught and snitched |
Sayin that he was the mastermind of all this shit |
The same day, his letter of acceptance came |
The boys came to get him as his mother stood breathless |
He couldn’t explain, hung his head in shame |
Later found his college career was down the drain |
Even though he beat the case, it was all over |
The local newspaper, a complete disgrace |
It read «Teen Prodigy Suspect In Robbery |
Young, black and intelligent, somewhat of an oddity» (oddity) |
When he went to visit the school, the dean of admissions was like |
«Sorry, you’re not Harvard material» |
Plus, you have an arrest record at best (at best) |
Reflecting a decadent past, application rejected." |
(Pep Love) and |
(And if your pockets is flat, that’s on you (on you)) |
(If you dazed and confused, that’s on you (on you)) |
(Pep Love) and |
(Yo, what you are is what you do) |
(They're thinkin of washin you) |
(To keep a failsafe in your arsenal) |
(So recognize) |
(Run over your own) |
(You can get caught up in a bind) |
(People are so intrusive) |
(But yet, you shall be judged) |
(Every time you held a grudge) |
(A nigga too loud to hush) |
(Tryin ta be a stud-muffin when you really a powder-puff) |
(I guess you didn’t think the consequences was vile enough) |
long range |
(Look into your own thang) |
(And if you don’t know what to do that’s on you (on you)) |
(And if you’re without a clue, that’s on you (on you)) |
(Pep Love) and |
(And if your pockets is flat, that’s on you (on you)) |
(If you dazed and confused, that’s on you (on you)) |
Know what I’m sayin? |
Niggas always want to point the finger |
And they point the finger at the man in the mirror, psych out, yeah |
