I Will Not Apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| This is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize |
| Some won’t get it and for that, I won’t apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| This for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize |
| Some won’t get it and for that, I won’t apologize |
| I’m so sick cause I’m infected but, but I don’t need a medic |
| Need a liquid anesthetic, let me show you how I get it |
| I don’t got it but I bet it, I don’t worry, I don’t sweat it |
| You can bitch, you can dead it, you can take it there like FedEx |
| Nothing sweet, diabetic, big dog, can’t pet it |
| Pack an L then I wet it, then I fill it 'til it’s pregnant |
| (Take the high back) Face it, everybody got a favorite |
| I embrace it like I date it but my grandma think I chase it |
| (Like oh yeah) I told her that her baby moving slower |
| Cause the world is on his shoulders then I woke up out that coma |
| (And got right back) At it with a little black 'matic |
| Lay you down, Craftmatic, then I’m gone, black magic |
| (To the hideout) You don’t wanna gamble with the devil |
| Especially when them chewy blueys got me on another level |
| Cause my teacher think I’m slow but my momma think I’m special |
| But even she know I’m coming back like an echo |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| This is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize |
| Some won’t get it and for that, I won’t apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| This for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize |
| Some won’t get it and for that, I won’t apologize |
| For the statements I’m about to make, I will not apologize |
| Niggas talk a lot of shit, really need to stop the lies |
| Jewels rented, cars rented, homie that ain’t authentic |
| Acting tough on TV, but to me you seem a little timid |
| Don’t blame the nigga, blame America, it’s all business |
| Acting like a monkey is the only way to sell tickets |
| Shit, I can dig it, niggas gossip silly digits |
| White kids buy it, it’s a riot when we talking about pimping |
| Or sipping on Olde English brew or whatever they think we do |
| Spraying double Uzis cause you know they think we live in zoos |
| The problem is with this, everyone seems to be real confused |
| The niggas on the streets to the old people that watch the news |
| And watch BET, and the crazy shit they see |
| They associate with you and do the same shit to me |
| When you look at me, you see just a nigga from the projects |
| But can’t understand this nigga’s mindset, but still |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| This is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize |
| Some won’t get it and for that, I won’t apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| This for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize |
| Some won’t get it and for that, I won’t apologize |
| Yo, a revolution’s what it’s smelling like, it ain’t gon' be televised |
| Governments is hellified, taking cake and selling pies |
| I ain’t got a crust or crumb, to get some I’d be well obliged |
| Murder is commodified, felon for the second time |
| Never was I into chasing trouble I was followed by |
| Facing trouble with no alibi, had to swallow pride |
| Vilified, victimized, penalized, criticized |
| Ran into some people that’s surprised I was still alive |
| Look into my daughter’s eyes, wonder how can I provide |
| Got to get from A to B but how can I afford to drive? |
| Messed around, tried to get a job and wasn’t qualified |
| Had to see a pal of mine, got to get the lightning rod |
| Now I’m in a black Impala looking for the dollar sign |
| Palms get to itching, man I gotta get the calamine |
| 'Fore I fall behind, guess the grind will be my 9 to 5 |
| I will not be conquered by, I will not apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| This is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize |
| Some won’t get it and for that, I won’t apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| I will not apologize, I will not apologize |
| This for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize |
| Some won’t get it and for that, I won’t apologize |
