[Intro]
[Verse1: Teiji Mack]
Excuse me Miss, can I call you Miss?
Excuse me, miss, can i talk to you Miss?
Excuse me Miss, i got enticed by ya lips
If you let me lick sumn, I can Cool-J to this
I kid, but I'm grown in this
And of ya students, I'm not the popularist
But I said my name is Teiji, and you can call me Teegee
I'm not tryna holler, let ya guard down easy
She said, I know about you, run with Demarcus and Jenks crew
Got Raven on the track when you didn't even mean to
She said not to call her Cola, I can call her Metro
I said, that sounds ugly, she said, You're disrespectful
I dont comment on how your hair needs a pick
Or how you blush heavy from a compliment
You never had a girl, but kissed a couple chicks
I mean, you rap kinda well, but you still ain't ish, n***a
She put a cig to her lips
She said this represents the music I'm stuck with
What you gon' do? Just stand around?
Mean, what you gon' do? Go help her out
Put her in her place where Wendy and Becky are
It's in between the dope where the best connections form
See, haters gon' hate, and haters gon' live
And marry hater women, and have hater kids
[Vamp]
You late for registration young college kid
Said you late for registration young college kid
(repeat 4 times)
[Hook]
Aye shawty just put that cigarette down
Can't you see that you a flower child?
Aye shawty just put that cigarette down
Can't you see that you're worth more now
Aye shawty just put that cigarette down
Can't you see how much it hurts your child?
Shawty just put that cigarette down
Can't you see that I'm grown now?
Aye mama just put that cigarette down
Can't you see how much it hurts your child?
Aye mama just put that cigarette down
Can't you see that I'm grown now
[Pre-Verse]
And they calling us some stone cold k**ers
Where them hoes be pitching panties like them left out fielders
And I hop up in the car and I ride with my n***as
And its forget them other jiggas that don't ride with my n***as
[Verse]
We used to post up, Grape Fanta, a hundred for a dollar Fruties
You would take me there, where the owner had an upstairs
Full crib, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
Back then the bu*tons for the Hadouken, seemed limitless
Pressing anything to hit a fatality
It's a wonder why I never saw the drug life that you were balancing
Used to get ice-cream on your daily salary
It's a wonder why now, I can't count calories
I still look up to you, even though you stand under me
I mean, I am your son, that's how it's supposed to be
I heard you're going back to college after all these years
Heard you doing right after so many tears
It seems like you grew complacent, trading fears for sins
And it'll break me more, if you did more years
I heard you pledging Zeta after all these years
Think you should do Delta, they got a place in my heart
Brownskin nubians, strong as hell, left their mark on a genius like me
(and you know i love them Redz, like, you know i love them Redz)
Brownskin nubians, strong as hell, left their mark on a genius like me
(and you know i love them Redz, like, you know i love them Redz)
[Hook]
[Poem]
The cognition of the creator is out of focus
Fornicating with the very thought of being formally famous
Or, being formally known as one of the geniuses who bought emotion to the open
Resisting the temptations of Satan in the form of falsified reciprocation
Or the form of an African-American/Asian
That's my kryptonite
Half of my generation seems to be worried about who's hoeing in the open
The other half worried with driving a Ford Focus so they can focus to pick up hoes in the open
I'm a n***a who always approaches new friendships with ease
No ulterior motive
Maybe I'm just that naive, partially colorblind
It's a wonder why I never see how green it is on the other side
Raised by pimps and thugs, I was told not to love and so I don't
It's in my genetic code, these tendencies hard to control
Where do you learn these things from? The thought of love and empathy
Maybe I'll fine it under a bed, in a corner, in a box
Next to a silver lighter and a blunt
O.G. keep it thug, it's easy to talk about but hard to gain
How are you supposed to be nice when all you know is pain
Penetrating this posh thought because its permeable
Or flammable, see they go hand and hand
Most relationships static, because we don't get along
[Introduction provided by Kayla St. Cloud]
I'd like to introduce you to a MC by the name of Teiji Mack
He spits that crack, and you can catch him at
The Cornerstore of Ignorance and Souls N Substance
Which is a spot where you can bring your friends
And bath on the dopeness within
Stimulating your mind, so you can stimulate hers
Spread the word, 'cus this here ain't for the birds
This her is teaching you to open that extra eye of yours
So you can hear, and more importantly be heard
My name is Kayla St. Cloud
And I'd like to invite you to The Cornerstore
If you break it, you buy it
And don't be stealing nothing
You know how y'all n***as get
