Nappy Roots - Looking Grown lyrics

[Intro: *Kid* & Skinny DeVille] *Dad are you going to the studio today?* Yeah. Why, what's up? *Can I go?* Not today, man *Uhhh* I'll bring you soon, OK? *OK* Love you *Love you, too* [Skinny DeVille] Yeah Standing in the mirror, ask myself "What I'm rapping for?" Used to be smash hoes, d** and watch the cash flow Now my life wise and older, but still an a**hole Chilling in my castle, nappy fro and bath robe (aye!) Labels that I made it out, the opposite of flat broke Been f**ing with them hoes a lot, but blowing dab smoke Toking on some Afghan goot could make that a** choke Been hustling, back with his youth then I move fast forward Am I thinking, keep an old flask cause I'll prolly keep drinking I'm on the sa**, so you know I keep speaking Roll the gra**, but only if it's decent Thank God it's weekend Thinking about going vegan Then I laugh at the thought when it sinks in I love meat man I'm gone off the deep end Where's the sheep skin? Bad little chick here I'm about to sink my teeth in [Hook x2] Spending one day a week at home Two days a week on the road Three days in the studio Now my kids all looking grown [Post hook] Are you going to the studio today (Now my kids all looking grown) Can I come? (Now my kids all looking grown) Now my kids all looking grown Now my kids all looking grown [Fish Scales] Roll it up my homeboy I got pounds of midget with a cool ticket Playing 2 K and I'm a fool with it Riding on that with the roof missing I've been riding dirty since '89 Seen a bunch of good n***as do crazy time Seen the judge hit 'em where the good lord split 'em Especially when their skin color the same as mine I stopped going to church Came right back cause outside was worse n***as acting hard but it's too rehearsed Ain't satisfied until they on a shirt The n***as gone bezerk [Skinny Deville] Claim they k**ers in the verse, wouldn't snatch a purse When the slugs start to fly, they say innocent first What goes around comes around Remember karma, jerk And the hearse is last Live's a blast Living through my kids, I'm letting go of the past It's easier when I said over shots in a gla** It's all adding up now that I'm doing the math It's just me and my b**h cause I ain't giving up half A real motherf**er, but one hell of a dad Call me the blues traveler walking the path Of the righteous might just give 'em more gas Til I go out like Whitney simply taking a bath Til then... [Hook x2] Spending one day a week at home Two days a week on the road Three days in the studio Now my kids all looking grown [Post hook] Now my kids all looking grown x4 [Outro: Skinney DeVille and *grown kid*] Yo, I'm about to roll to the studio, you trying to roll? *Nah I can't, I gotta go to work* Damn
