[Intro]
Say something I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one if you want me to
Good girl, loves her momma
Loves e-dub, and Hip-Hop is Good
[Verse 1: e-dubble]
Smart girl good head up on her shoulders
Two Tone Rebel written on her folders
No scrubs yeah, she knows what the code is
TLC taught her something bout the motive
That was '94 though
So she never got the message, what a poor joke
Hope she gotta an older sister with a moral code
Hope she sees the open window when the door closed
Now she staring at her wardrobe, like she doesn't have the cool clothes
Like she about to hit a war zone, no thumbs up on the pic, fake a sore throat
Cause she ain't dealin with school, its a shame how the games that they're playin' are cruel
Straight A's never playing the fool, never saved by the bell AC's a tool, you heard me
But she's playin it cool, she pays no mind to the haters abuse
And this has got the haters confused, and at the high school reunion the chickens will roost
[Hook: e-dubble]
(Say something I'm giving up on you)
Back then you were ready to go
Nowadays ain't the same cause you'll never be on
(I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you)
I wish I could turn back the clock and made you stop, you would've never changed the lock
(Anywhere I would've followed you)
We made moves cause we never had a plan B
Who knew they would take you from your family
(Say something I'm giving up on you)
Vini-Vici on the beat, e-dubble, Gr33n$pan bring the heat
[Verse 2: GR33N$PAN]
My little cousin called to say she going through a problem
I wondered if it's emotional or if it's truly harming
This guy's a senior misusing his hands and steady talking
Give me his name and address or else don't even bother
The last thing I want is my baby going through drama
Learnin to stand on her own she gotta do with caution
My recollection, my day-to-day life was really reckless, but making sure she stays alright is on my daily checklist
All my emotions says bomb first oh yeah of course, leave his face bloody his body hurt with cuts and sores
But that's the kid and who ga**ed him up to make that decision
Wrong decision, right time can land him in prison
Her momma follow protocol ain't call administration
I call the rest of my fam say we got to be patient
Its hella hard to keep my cool I really want to go
Just pray for me and these youngins who's going through the most
[Hook x2]
[Outro]
Back then you were ready to go
Nowadays ain't the same cause you'll never be on
I wish I could turn back the clock and made you stop, you would've never changed the lock
