  • One time
    What's the word
    What's the word
    What's the word
    Yo yo yo yo yo, yo yo
    Turn me up on the headphones

    If looks could kill I let the swank drill like a deadly weapon
    I drop bombs on an enemy at any second
    Look at me wrong I turn you to tomb stones
    Lock you in the crosshairs then 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
    I 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 bitin' flows yo, that's burglary
    Same niggas actin' 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
    Get his head explode for a nigga like me
    Put him on the floor for a nigga like me

    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 gettin' blown like a javelin
    She throw it back like she time travelin'
    Rocked the boat so well, she jumped out and started paddling
    I'm screaming "Land, ho!" 'bout to hit for 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 actin' a fool
    Blacks get their ass sprayed just for makin' 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"

    Cause every time I make a move they be sweatin' me
    They want another black man in penitentiary
    It's even hard for that man standing next to me
    Cause he could catch a bullet that was really 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 lettin' me

    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

    Cause every corner I turn a nigga testing me
    And every morning I mourn just for the less of me
    Sometimes I ask the Lord why he be blessing me
    And not my brothers whose souls now 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

    I'm something like the chairman of the board rantin'
    I feel, invincible, like McMahon
    One of the last original emcees that's left standing on the planet
    Strike like a meteor, do remedial damage, damnit
    Cats can't stand it, get they ass handed and branded
    By the lyrical New York City bandit
    True warrior like rembrandt
    Yo some cats claim they fly but really been landed
    I really can't stand it
    Let me take a seat, this a Rosa Parks 'ol 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 after the beep
    I don't wanna speak no I don't wanna speak
    I don't wanna speak no I don't wanna speak
    I just wanna be good, I just wanna be
    I just wanna be free

    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 Writer/s: JOHANNES R JOERGENSEN, LARS JENSEN, LEMARE IZUBUNDU OBIKA
