9th Wonder - Nasty lyrics

From the dawn of time, i was destined to shine If you take one of mine, i take one of yours So its a day in a life of a young dope pimp I'm just a stubborn typa fella with a head like a brick And just because i step it up, they say that im hopeless But i dont give a f**, so blame it on my lockness I spit hard lines,im smooth as a prism So watch me turn it up on this funky a** rhythm And by the corner of my eye, i see a mama looking fly So baby dont talk, just hold your breath And mama slow down, come chill with the gang Im talking to the pretty face, big booty lil thang To the right, damn right.yeah mama you my type Tell your man, lay low. he better move to the left If he tryna act a fool he get beat to d**h If you read between the lines,you can see through the lies Im putting you fakers to sleep, goodnight kisses get blown Cause to emcee requires sk**s, i demand some shown Now hands to our chest,pledge allegiance to the swagg Im tryna do my thing for the streets that pay me So i pour one for my boys and two for my family And three for the day i succumb to my enemy The government puts taxes on my bread so i got a toaster up in my head Mama wanna raise me right, she talking harvard or yale But my mind was set foul,i seen projects and jail Im not afraid to die but how to live until then Who am i gonna lose next,afraid to read the next text Cause it might be talking about my homie being shot Or the lady that was robbed weak, aged, and cold Wonder who could be so bold? The streets getting harsh and the evil wanna swallow us If you slipping and you tripping, you going back in the dust sh**, whats a young n***a to do to get big? Do i got join the Illuminati to get you to notice? Hell nah, im true to the cause and right by God So i might not be a christian,but that don't define what o believe in So lets get it popping its just a while that we living I got no love for you fakers cause you envy What i am, what you prolly done and made me Ha... #nastyfel is king
