| Lyrics: | Awwww....
Mmmmm, awww..
[Chorus]
All my life been po'
But it really don't
matter no mo'
And they wonder why we act this way
Nappy Boys gon' be okay
All my life
been po'
But it really don't matter no mo'
And they wonder why we act this way
Nappy
Roots gon' be okay, okay
[Big V]
We came in the game, plain ya see
Average man
when the rest was ashamed to be
Nappy head and all, ain't no changin me
Ooooh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh...
So rough it was, downright wrong I tell ya
Nobody never
gave us nothin but tough time and made us somethin
Different stretch of road, new somethin to
see
Every state on the map, a different somethin to eat
Daps and handshakes, it meant
nuttin for real
Everybody makin a killin man, showin no feelins
Walkin off collectin pay,
it's the way of the world
Can't change it, so I guess I'm gon' pray for the world
Sometimes I ask myself, was I made for the world?
I scream this to you, and I say it to
the world
Nappy then, Nappy now - Nappy for a bit
Knee-deep, head over heels in this
country shit!
[Chorus]
[Skinny DeVille]
Even though I picture better days,
I'm thankful for the chance I got to say amen
The Lord done blessed me with his grace, I
wish this day would never end
We represent the slums, where we from, we feel they bump
Polish shot off on these presidents, and hardtimes they go and come
Some take up off,
without the chance, to make it at all
Who woulda thought Skinny'd be the one that's, makin this
call
Lord, help me out, tell me where I went wrong
I'm tryna find a righteous path,
although it's, never been long
I gotta do it for my sons, they tellin me, " |
