Til They Told Us (Explicit) - Nappy Roots
Lyrics by:Melvin Adams/William Hughes/Backwud Marc
I'm just tryin' to keep the people
Movin' like U-haul
Represent KY everybody like you all
Listening to Nappy
Bumpin' us in the pool hall
Find me at the bar
Or smokin' pot by the fooseball
The way they killing us
I had to cut the news off
Be careful who you trust because
I think them fools lost
Following the blind is what
I wouldn't suggest
And all my eggs in one basket
I wouldn't invest
Leavin' fools in the dust
Follow through is a must
Stick and move like a boxer do
And aim for his guts
Life is what you make it
Better take it as such
No time for hatred in the matrix
When you makin' this much
Split the pie as we bake it
Maybe say a prayer for us
Like Goliath and David
Lately I'm prepared to bust
Like the rack on Dolly Parton
Pardon me as we discuss
The answers to ya problems
Over drinks and lots of ***
We've seen times where love is all we had
Yuh when we showed up
We didn't know we was po' until they told us
Take my time this groove
Was built from scratch
Yuh from the floor up
Riding 'til the wheels fall my nicca so what
I'm in a sprinter riding off into the winter
Vapin' like I never used to smoke penners
Sometimes I traded w**d for my dinner
I couldn't go home unless I go a winner
Behind Mrs Winners I became a sinner
Country fried steak with the gravy center
While Bagging up w**d wit my neighbor Jenna
Thinking life is good look at what it render
Over time wore on my soul tho
Found myself mo and mo solo
Chasing money never got me anywhere
The most important things was already there
Graduation cards had a dub in 'em
Hand me down clothes had love in 'em
Hem kinda put a flood in 'em
But wear 'em best you can fo Lil 'cuz get 'em
We've seen times where love was all we had
Yuh when we showed up
We didn't know we was po' until they told us
Take my time this groove was built from scratch
Yuh from the floor up
Riding 'til the wheels fall my nicca so what
We've seen times where love is all we had
Yuh when we showed up
We didn't know we was po' until they told us
Take my time this groove was built from scratch
Yuh from the floor up
Riding 'til the wheels fall my nicca so what
We've seen times where love is all we had
