Who They Tryina Be

(album: Good News - 2011)

All my heroes were born before King died
While you waiting on Lauryn, I'm heading toward Zion
Draped in something that niggas just can't afford
See I got this from the Lord, check the tags, it's imported
Stole the keys to my future, hit the gas, then I floored it
That model had an ass, like three, I ordered four of them
Now I'm the foreigner, smiling and pouring up
Head of State walk past me, like "why he over here?"

We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be
We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be

Still mad, still men, still bad
Still bend steel bars in the cage I'm in
Sick of love, Sycamore trees the ornament on it is me
Strange fruit is the hardest to eat
Yet we see the juice drip from the lips of police
Mama praying hard, finger grip won't release
Sea to shining sea, still too dark for me
But Ima kill it when I feel it nigga

We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be
We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be

Now watch me shine like I grew up in a diamond mine
I'm from the city where the people running out of time
From the hoods where the niggas running out of crime
Your girl call me when her [?] is running out of pine
No-no-now, ain't that tragic? Ain't it black?
Smashed her off the yac, now she calling back
Showed out at their shows, n*ggas hated that
Fuck nervous, there's still some places I can't get no service

We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be
We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be

These pigs ain't scared of the wolf soldiers
We huff and puff, and then we get pulled over
It seems like the roles been reversed, the gold switched with dirt
You can't tell the worth
You can't tell me, I ain't develop to a hell of a elephant killer
Got niggas telling bitches I grew up with them
But I didn't, nigga mind your business
But if it gets you started, then I hope it gets you finished

We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be
We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be

It's the gospel of the Doctor
Possibly impossible to polish off the product 'fore the officer acquire it
All the men aspire to be fire-eating dragons
Empire is in dire need of proper nigga politics
Father name is Parker Peter Piper in the diaper
Cause he always drop the hottest shit
Styles that you can borrow on some let me hold a dollar shit
Revelation pauper shit
Start a riot, throw up, I don't throw up, I don't throw up

Okay, now ain't it wild how the only child all in denial
And ain't it foul how the labels got him calling for miles
I remember mama said we had to move out the house
And that's the way of life, shit ain't right, but you gotta live it
See I blew up through that class system
My glass slipper was my stomach reminding me
Let my fast feed the grinding
My past legendary, check the highlights, go rewind it
And I shit on every beat, so you niggas is reminded

We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be
We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be
