My n***as, my smoke n***as, my great n***as, n***as, what's up, Queens n***as, Bronx n***as, Brooklyn n***as, Uptown
[Verse 1]
Apani not your average n***a for the record emotion picture thug, baby's mama, gansta b**h, pitcher from the slums
You must be dumb dumb dumb, I'm not your Maybelline clone
Roll your slow, and get hip to the memo
Negroes know Apani, I got a billboard in the hood internationally recognized for spittin' good
n***as love me like Kool Aid, from the wide nose to the baby Arabs and the bodegas, hustle cats, and old ladies
I should run for mayor or chairwoman of the board
I thought I told you before, I'm the illest n***a, n***as of a sort
Pure ghetto, from the naps to the floor
Pied piper with a song, cold-slinging my raw, coast to coast on a float, [?] to LA, Miami cadillac in VA
Guarantee I'ma be whatever n***as rap, right now I'm still on tour, catch you when I get back my n***as
[Verse 2]
n***as won't catch the kid strung out
Hanging from a thin short rope, or down on my luck
Hustling for hope, I double up on the one, before I get stuck
Serious about gettin' it but n***as play to much
n***as don't listen, my time is so precious
I'm tired of tired n***as cryin' like adolescents
Joke through life if you wanna be [?] just do not be the name Apani, not herbal chest [?] please believe
Negro please, that's sadder than bad s** it seems
You my dirt behind the scenes, don't consort with random n***as in the street, I'm like the phantom [?] scene
These days I charge n***as admission to glimpse a peek
I be there strictly for my n***as, fam, homies, and peeps, wherever you stay, Atlanta, fifth ward, [?] or Zimbabwe [?]
One love to emcees and revolutionary n***as
[Verse 3]
Ha, keep my eyes on the transition, all the bait n' switchin'
n***as still stuck in the same position, civil rights didn't change the cost of living at night, n***as still committing robberies and k**ing, we ain't patriots where I'm from, politicians are still villains, new faces same smoke and gun, it's so strange the Red Cross can't raise a million for every cross burned on heroes slain, my kin in Africa got AIDS, black mothers pray for every kid the pigs prey, plus a hundred million murder slays, that's more than ten to one for every soul lost at the World Trade, y'all dead wrong, why n***as can't get paid, it's a shame, n***as just triggered [?] and chains, got my ghetto handbook and a good view of the game, don't believe the news, gangs, d**, and tools, time to focus on the youth, n***as better work it out soon
