yo, member back in the boogie when cats used to harmonize

Recommended Posts

like: woooo woooop woooop wooooooo.

yo, my men and my women

dont forget about the deen

it is out the most a keen (??)

its the better things

if you feeling real good

lift your hands in the air

and lift two shots in the atmosphere

 

yeah, yeah

It's been three weeks since you've been looking for your friend

The one you let hit it and never called you again

'Member when he told you he was 'bout the Benjamins

You act like you ain't hear him then gave him a little trim

To begin, how you think you really gon' pretend

Like you wasn't down then you called him again

Plus when you give it up so easy you ain't even fooling him

If you did it then, then you probably **** again

Talking out your neck sayin' you're a Christian

A Muslim sleeping with the djiin

Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in

Who you gon' tell when the repercussions spin

Showing off your *** 'cause you're thinking it's a trend

Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again

You know I only say it 'cause I'm truly genuine

Don't be a hardrock when you're really a gem

Babygirl, respect is just a minimum

Niggas ****ed up and you still defending them

Now Lauryn is only human

Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament

Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, Penn.

It's silly when girls sell their soul because it's in

Look at where you be in hair weaves like Europeans

Fake nails done by Koreans

Come again

Come again, come again, come again, come again

 

Guys you know you better watch out

Some girls, some girls are only about

That thing, that thing, that thing

 

The second verse is dedicated to the men

More concerned with his rims and his Timbs than his women

Him and his men come in the club like hooligans

Don't care who they offend popping yang like you got yen

Let's not pretend, they wanna pack pistol by they waist men

Cristal by the case men, still in they mother's basement

The pretty face, men claiming that they did a bid men

Need to take care of their three and four kids men

They facing a court case when the child's support late

Money taking, heart breaking now you wonder why women hate men

The sneaky silent men the punk domestic violence men

The quick to shoot the semen stop acting like boys and be men

How you gon' win when you ain't right within

How you gon' win when you ain't right within

How you gon' win when you ain't right within

Come again

Come again, come again, come again, come again

 

Girls you know you better watch out

Some guys, some guys are only about

That thing, that thing, that thing

 

Guys you know you betta' watch out

Cause some girls are only' about

That thing, that thing, that thii-i-ing.

N.O.R.F   

Remincing (spelling) are we?

 

I got one, from a former hip hop head, this tune just automatically came to mind,,,just a few bars from a true poet,,,,

 

common sense: sixth sense

 

 

The perseverence of a rebel I drop heavier levels

It's unseen or heard, a king with words

Can't knock the hustle, but I've seen street dreams deferred

Dark spots in my mind where the scene occured

Some say I'm too deep, I'm in too deep to sleep

Through me, Muhammed will forever speak

Greet brothers with handshakes in ghetto landscapes

Where a man is determined by how much a man makes

 

Dealing with alcoholism and afrocentricity

A complex man drawn off of simplicity

Reality is frisking me

This industry will make you lose intensity

The Common Sense in me remembers the basement

I'm Morpheus in this hip-hop Matrix, exposing fake sh*t

 

I just want to innovate and stimulate minds

Travel the world and penetrate the times

Escape through rhythms in search of peace and wisdom

Raps are smoke signals letting the streets know I'm with 'em

For now I appreciate this moment in time

Ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes
