Naj - Cerebral lyrics

[Verse 1: Naj isDope] I'm cruising down Neptune listening to The Neptunes Although I ain't in my best mood It's something comforting 'bout the wave Your crave, for ego and power Got my n***as watching how your set move Long as them boys don't roll up, we like our chances Some n***as ride the wave, some n***as drown in Atlantis Is it cool to be cool again, getting popping off dances? Damn, another gimmick to advance us? But on the other hand that sh** feel good Cause at the end of the day no matter what A real hood always Gon' recognize another real hood Just a fact, Block getting smacked Always on the fence, but somehow a find a balance Whether splitting time, between being in the dorm or the trap It's all cerebral, I just do it for my people The same women and children that shun evil, looking for equal Sandy hit we only saw that type of sh** at the Regal Still, kept it drumming like Questlove Creeping out of my shell, avoiding the next slug And those, black thoughts, stunted our growth at the root No patty cake with Sallie Mae, just s**, d**, and the desire To either play ball or get in the booth All needing a cleanse, avoiding the next flood And them questions like "Yo Naj, when you graduating?" Reply *Side Eye* like "I'm sad you waiting and really I'm honest When I say that I'm glad you made it, but, it's all Cerebral Hit the chill bu*ton"... They k**ed my little cousin Now I'm sipping 1800, got 1800 n***as ready to k** something Gun in the holster, Saturday nights? Liver than Travolta's Throw some b**hes in if you wanna feel something All I could tell my n***as, "Keep the glove tight" She still wanna follow and she'll be calling tomorrow Spazzed on the p**y cause we don't know how to love right Hard lesson learned, put judgment above sight I'm a n***a baby, put truth above ego You been watching me and yet you still let me creep Thats the problem with people, we put snake above eagle All free to grow once they make the bud legal but It's all cerebral, I just do it for my people The same women and children that shun evil Looking for an equal I'm just hoping to lead you Its all Cerebral!
