Lyrics
From the 8-6-4 To the 8-0-3 To the 8-4-trey We don't care where you stay We don't care where you be We don't care what'cha say My n***a We won't play witcha We-we won't play witcha From the 8-6-4 To the 8-0-3 To the 8-4-trey We don't where you stay We don't care where you be We don't care what 'cha say My n***a We won't play witcha We-we-we won't play witcha One more chance Biggie give me one more chance Biggie give me one more chance One more chance One more chance Biggie give me one more chance This far from parking lot pimping Ain't got no cash My n***a chipped in But I bet I hit the dash on no wheels Soon as I seen't-cha bust that ass in them heels Now I'm all off in yo grill And I must ask (huh) How do it feel for you To be in my arms for the night? No need to be alarmed I ain't nan one of them n***as That stepped out Clean as a whistle Mr. Swear-he-fresh-to-death But what's that whiff coming from yo chest? Is that you? Yes it is, sir! Mr. Dress-to-impress Boy, you musty under that Polo Soon as you hit the door Yo underarm ain't right! We nothing alike This that Southern charm Southern pride Heaven scent Then stench smell like I'm bundled in Tide Girl, if you tide of these n***as We can snuggle Ain't tryna do no sly sh*t I keeps it on the humble Ain't tryna get by Don't really need my d**k on ya thigh To tell you that I want'cha Now won't-cha smile for a n***a Lighten up! And let me kid with'cha If you open up I'll poke fun in the front of you Under you is the money shot You get the picture Now after you pitch Your name and your number Send a flick to remember you by (Why all this?) Cause girl you flawless and I like looking at'cha If we happen to end on this chapter I don't get none after And you go back to that b*st*rd Come get caught up in the rapture If you in need of another n***a for the night I got a wish for the stars if they glisten tonight If they listen I can remix a few wrongs And make'em right I see a mistress that I eyed Her friends gon' ride But all I wanna know is Is you tryna slide? I got a wish for the stars if they glisten tonight If they listen I can remix a few wrongs And make'em right I see a mistress that I eyed Her friends gon' ride But all I wanna know is Is you tryna slide? One verse! That's all need baby And in return I give you what you need baby You been fiend-ing lately I hear you screaming save me I know you screen-save me All on my Insta- Infiltrating my mentions I mean I'm feeling you But it ain't like we dating What I had said was I like relations We cruise like ships Right now We skating on ice Feel the breeze At ease Ain't it nice? As we stride (echo) Naw, better yet- We gilde (echo) And I had to make it ever-so-clear, my dear This goes for where ever, whenever, however We should appear And I had to make it And I had to make it Ever-so-clear, yeah Ever-so-clear That's something to think about That's a wondrous thing to think about And it makes me say every morning when I wake up And look in the mirror- Thank God, I'm an African! I'm not putting anybody else down I'm just thanking God that I- Am an African! That I am apart of the eternal force on earth The divine intelligence that created the planet earth And decided that the right and proper place For human beings to begin to develop And to give civilization And spread it throughout the world Is the mother of all continents Alkebulan (applause) Mother Africa (applause) Just a wonderful thing to be an African And I thank God- Somehow maybe I could've been made something else But, I'm glad! That the forces of nature said "Naw, we count you worthy to be an African" That in itself tells me that I have contained Within my genes- Everything I need! To do everything I have to do And as long as I understand this about myself No matter what kind of obstacle They put in my way I can say that to [?] Trouble is in my way But I'm going on through Nothing can stop me from getting to where I'm going (Applause) Ain't no mountain high enough! Ain't no river wide enough! To stop me from getting To where I'm supposed to go When we understand that about ourselves They cannot keep us trapped in the conditions that we're in now The only thing that keeps us trapped in that condition Is our state of consciousness about ourselves But when we know who we are We can begin to consciously do something About changing the condition we're in Y'all forgive me But I'm a preacher as well as a historian (Applause) And I feel the spirit moving now As the Honorable Marcus Garvey taught us Peace be upon that great black man Said, "If four-hundred million black folks- (That's how many it was in the world back in 1925) Could get to know themselves To know that in them is a sovereign power An authority that is absolute Within the next twenty-four hours We could have a new empire A new race A new nation Not resurrected from the will of others To see us rise But from our own will and determination To rise irrespective of what the world might think" (Applause) That man was moved by the spirit of God When he wrote those words And it's true- If we can teach our babies nothing else We must teach them that This world is yours by divine birthright You don't have to ask nobody for your rights You go take your rights That's what you do And you begin right in your own spirit And in your own soul So that can nobody keep you down If they can't break your spirit They cannot break you Even if they put you in prison As Jesus of Jerusalem told them He stood before Pilate He said, "My kingdom not of this world I'm not worried about you Romans Doesn't bother me You may kill the body But you cannot kill the soul I will be back" (Applause) And the Honorable Marcus Garvey said that He said, "If I did in a whirlwind in Atlanta Don't worry about it Look for me in the world! In the stars, for I will return" Carrying the red, black and the green With the millions of Africans Following me To the reestablishment of the liberty of Africa Because Africa will be free one day All of Africa and wherever her children are On the planet earth- (Let me try to get back to this y'all) This occurred in only one place Eve's family This black woman This African woman On the mother continent Then sometime between 90,000-180,000 years (We talking some big figures here) (We talking big money here!) (Long figures!) A group of her progeny Left their homeland And this is what this European scientist says "Endowed, apparently, with some special advantage (With what?) (Audience: "special advantage") Over every tribe of early human they encountered Now, am I teaching racism? This a white person that said this- Said, "These black people have a special advantage Over every other being that they've encountered! Neanderthal and whatever else Not withstanding Only these Africans have this special advantage!" They were the only ones! "As they fanned out Eve's descendants replaced the locals, eventually- Suddenly, the entire world!" This is my planet It belong-and the reason why the extraterrestrials beings- (And I don't want to get into that) Haven't landed- 'Cause they can't talk to the leader yet! The leader's not in control! The peoples whose suppos- They know who the planet is supposed to be with! They understand that! But, I'm not gon'- 'Cause I don't want you to think I'm being spooky Let me left that alone I have to- Speak concrete evidence Hard evidence, today
