Work In Progress （）-Nappy Roots
Wise words bein'spoke huh y'all know what it is
Nap nappy roots can I start this one off okay
Each day I listen what the streets say
Like a DJ my negroes scratch ghetto recording's
For my peoples got the eyes of an eagle
Can't see us ever bein'at peace for a reason 'cause we ain't
Never bein'equal they got us believin'we heathens uncivil soldiers
Of evil reach up and assume the position
You know the procedure
Can't even leisure smoke hollow reefer without police
And search and seizure by the same police who murdered creaser
It's brutal
Seein'them treat us like lower creatures than human beings more
So like aliens tourin'the land of Europeans
Seemin'to have the tendency to think we ignorant
'Cause of our pigment can't take away
A niggas dignity though still I pimp the industry hoe and even when
I'm rich I'm a pretend to be poor
