And mama said tread likely
Your skin color is fair, you bred lightly
What might seem like an advantage to some
May add vanity son, and that could come back to pipe me
(Verse)
Fighting with my childhood, other niggas would pester him
I swear to God, I even thought I was Mexican
I messed around, made a mess and found
The mess was bound, to expect the sound
That would overdrown, infesting in
But either way, I had to leave the bay
The only reason while niggas even believe today
And if I would have stayed, I probably would have played
Right into the hands of these jealous niggas they keep at bay
But it's all just semantics, I used to press up fly and do van hits
Now you nigga pressin down the van uick
I know they can't stand it
(Hook)
And mama said tread likely
Your skin color is fair, you bred lightly
What might seem like an advantage to some
May add vanity son, and that could come back to pipe me
One against the great I'm not, in the crowd, the crowd, crowd
One and they can never break me down
They won't break me down, down, down
And papa said never spite me,
Because of my belief, these other rappers won't like me
Instead of switching, I'm keepin the same position
These lame niggas is bitchin, I tell em to come and bite me
(Verse)
Fighting off my demons and niggas think it's horseplay
I portrait what I feel is needed of course they
Wanna take a nigga spot, cause they see a bigger plot
Till they face the face of my work and they report change
And can you blame fools,
They was given this dream like they just can't loose
Explain who can refrain for me in the same food
Without a change, not going sane to vomit on they shoes
I pay dues in this region, we need variety
I think these high niggas feel threatened by my sobriety
But it's all just semantics,
I know they can't stand it, right?
(Hook)
And mama said tread likely
Your skin color is fair, you bred lightly
What might seem like an advantage to some
May add vanity son, and that could come back to pipe me
One against the great I'm not, in the crowd, the crowd, crowd
One and they can never break me down
They won't break me down, down, down
And papa said never spite me,
Because of my belief, these other rappers won't like me
Instead of switching, I'm keepin the same position
These lame niggas is bitchin, I tell em to come and bite me
(Verse)
My sister used to tell me please Ali don't be a fool
If you gonn do this music, use rap as a vehicle
See this could be your tool
If you ain't saying something meaningful to people
Then you probably need to be in school
Well I guess I kept my promise
Instead of being thankful, they judged me for being honest
And this is just a pray lood, I pray you betray dude
In the proper light, just don't write me off like some bay dude
Explain, who could refrain from me in the same fool
Without a change, not going sane, it's like you playing pool
And for that prophet, these niggas get out of pocket
They watching you from they corners on that green
And they waving toons
And the white sticks the night stick
And everybody's balling for moving that white bitch
Life slips and it's more than just semantics
I know you can't stand it, right?
(Hook)
And mama said tread likely
Your skin color is fair, you bred lightly
What might seem like an advantage to some
May add vanity son, and that could come back to pipe me
One against the great I'm not, in the crowd, the crowd, crowd
One and they can never break me down
They won't break me down, down, down.
