Nappy Roots - Po´ Folks lyrics

[SPONSOR]
Awwww....
Mmmmm, awww..

[Chorus]
All my life been po´
But it really don´t matter no mo´
And they wonder why we act dis 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 & all, aint 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 & made us somethin
Different stretch of road, new somethin to see
Every state on the map, a different somethin to eat
Daps & handshakes, it meant nuttin for real
Everybody makin a killin man, showin no feelins
Walkin off collectin pay, it is the way of the world
Can´t change it, so I guess I am gon´ pray for the world
Sometimes I ask myself, was I made for the world?
I scream this to you, & 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 pictured better days,
I am 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 filthy bum
Fallin short off on these presidents, & the hard times they go & come
Some take up off, without the chance, to make it at all
Who woulda thought Skinny´d be the one that is, makin this call
Lord, help me out, tell me where I went wrong
I am tryna find a righteous path, although it is, narrow & long
I´ve got to do it for my son´s sake, they tellin me, "Daddy be strong"
We gon´ make it through these hard times
even though they go & they come
Ya absolutely right, but somethin happened to me on last Tuesday night
It is plain as day, man they... with this World Trade
Naw brave aint the word I am lookin for ya
Better make it hope when nothin seems to matter
That is when, see, everything can go - any which way
They got me hoped, see the Henny with the J
Front po´ch, chillin broke, country folk, I am Nappy in my ways yo

[Chorus]

[R. Prophit]
It is a blessin we woke up this mornin
All my colored folk stressin, come let´s join hands
Got to cope with the pressures of being po´ man
Papa taught me in order survive fear no man
Nappy blossom from the root, henceforth we gon´ stand
Prophet grew from a juvenile to a grown man
Ya have got to take responsibility for ya own man
Zonin, two blunts a mo´nin, by sunrise sometimes
I love to hear my woman moanin, it is on again
Damn I hope you play this song again
it is soul cleansin, the melody just rev my engines
Tried a lot of things but usually just end up bending my ligaments,
Searchin fa benjamins & all my folks locked in the tenaments
And it don´t make any sense (boi) children is innocent
Broadcastin from the slums, that is why I am writin these sentences
Still low on my income, (why?) go ´head finish it

[Chorus]
