Stacy Lattisaw tapes, the 80's had us all apes
Youngest gorillas up to bat
with dreads at the top of my fade
Homicide and feds on the blocks where I played,
That's when I wondered was I here for the cause,
Was told to stay strong and I
I used to play Apollo balcony seats
Watching niggas swing razors in the front row,
Acuras pumping Super Lover
asses busting out of they clothes
big door knockers pealing they earlobes
So where them years go? Where the old
gold beers and cheers go?
But now them shorties here doe, so
The doo rags are back, fitted hats,
still packed, what's the word?
The drinkers stay drinking,
And I'm, still enjoying life's ride,
The doo rags are back, fitted hats,
still packed, what's the word?
The drinkers stay drinking,
And I'm, still enjoying life's ride,
Political thugs in shark suits
persuade us to pull triggers
yelling "Join the armed forces!"
Needles in arms of veterans instead
There's still a lot of naked crawling
we crabs in a barrel, they torture us
They won't be serving the beast too long
The murderers wearing police uniforms,
Beat Street breakers were dancing
And Peachtree Atlantic crackhead
In frozen corners of Chicago,
loaded up Llama's children
Where Shell gas company in
South Africa be having us killed
And all these shorties coming up
The doo rags are back, fitted hats,
still packed, what's the word?
The drinkers stay drinking,
And I'm, still en joying life's ride,
The doo rags are back, fitted hats,
still packed, what's the word?
The drinkers stay drinking,
And I'm, still enjoying life's ride,
Niggas used to wear rags on they
hair when it was fried up
That's when we were lied to,
Back before my generation,
when our blackness started disintegrating
'Til awareness started penetrating
The styles come from prison,
they used potatoes making liquor
Turning nothing into something,
And you get nothing without
War is necessary to my niggas
From Greene to Sing- Sing,
I'm wanting y'all to know one thing
The hardest thing is to forgive,
Even if you murdered or robbed,
yeah it's wrong, but God loves
Take one step toward him, he takes
Even when all else fail, God support you
My heart an d my lungs was affected
from Henny's and getting blunted
I'm still blazing, going out for the 'cause
Still rocking stocking caps, not for the waves,
The doo rags are back, fitted hats, snorkels and furs
still packed, what's the word?
The drinkers stay drinking,
And I'm, still enjoying life's ride,
The doo rags are back, fitted hats,
still packed, what's the word?
The drinkers stay drinking,
And I'm, still enjoying life's ride,
