Feat. Pharrell *- Original Version {*sound of keys jiggling, car door closing and engine starting*} [Chorus: Pharrell] You're makin a mistake You're makin a mistake What you're doing? [Danny!] Danny boy I loved ya, you know you're like none other I look, I look up to ya, cuz you're my older brother But lately I've been worried for ya Ever since you got that deal, it's like they all Been thirsty for ya, I can't imagine how you feel I keep it real, I know it's happenin fast I seen the work you put in, I know it's meant to last But the way you're headed you can forget it These beats, ain't gon' keep you out of trouble Ain't gon' keep ypu out these streets Man you know what they say, about that fast life Err'body got a f**in appetite But as soon as a motherf**er grab a bite, they crash, right? Look at Eminem, yo he crashed twice, spazzed out I don't WANT you to go down that route I'm signing off, sealed with a kiss Sincerly yours -- Sis [Chorus: Pharrell] You're makin a mistake (Bounce) You're makin a mistake (Bounce) (R-Ride with me..) What you're doing? [Danny!] Danny boy I love ya, you know you're like none other I burped and fed and raised you, because I am your mother What's this I'm hearin about, you out, you in the streets late, boy? I raised you better than that, for Pete sake I know you makin money, of course the family's proud But that same money can attract the wrong crowd It's all fun and games until somebody points a gun at your brain Sometimes your enemies and your friends, are one in the same And I tell ya, that line gets blurry quick
Think about ya grandmother, you know she's worried sick And me? I don't wanna be one of the mothers that's called to the morgue Because my son decided to live, and die by the sword And I'm so tired it's like, my soul's tired What happened to the Danny that used to sing in the choir? You were that little black boy that everyone appointed as the next big thing I think, you're disappointing, get your act together! Son [Chorus: Pharrell] You're makin a mistake (Bounce) You're makin a mistake (Bounce) (You're ridin? Hop in) What you're doing? [Danny!] Three in the morning, on the Westside highway, and I got the top down I'm crusin, and been usin that marijuana nonstop now Got Belvedere in that system, and UGK in that system And WAY too many complications in my life, to list 'em This sh** is gettin crazy, my life is a roller coaster I'm closer to goin postal, can't control my composure Last week, I was attack by the jack boys, a setup Nobody gave me a heads-up, don't know WHO to trust And everyone's concerned about me, my sister, my momma But now my life is just consist of drama, what I'ma tell 'em? They wrote me letters to better me, what I'ma mail 'em? Runnin low on these dreams kid, what I'ma sell 'em? Gotta get my head right, before I'm beat like egg whites Oh sh**, was that a red light? ...sh**! (f**!) {*tires screeches, car crashes, and sounds of ambulance and sirens heard*} [Chorus: Pharrell] You're makin a mistake You're makin a mistake What you're doing? {*sounds of cars pa**ing by until song ends*}
