lyrics

Verse 1

They move to the side when i come,
side of the road like a siren or some,
when I reach in my coat all the white
people jump it’s a rifle they think and
i know, with a smile i approach angalo’s
if it’s night so they don’t feel frightened
bro, im Ludacris from crash shit i might
have a gun on the night that they
passed me slow, all the girls want sex
he is huge, yes it is cool till the sex
he is small, i’m a big let down they
want mandingo but i’m more like a
jeremy ron, at the store they don’t ask
what i smoke they assume Newports
lucky guess that was rude, all their
stereo types make our lives difficult
like before I-pods played songs

Verse 2

Like the street how i’m bleedin this
beat, dealin my speech while police
think it’s weed, everyday i get asked
for some weed on the street see my
skin it creates a demand, proper i
talk when like a speech when i comment
on blogs they get peeved, pissed off
cause they thought i would start talken
shit, who had talk this negro to read,
we set the trend we say what’s in
if we pee’d sitten down we would still
be the shit, we can fuck the police
and a movie weil get about us and
our attitude we the shit, saggen my
pants no fag in a jail no homo im not
no queer, grabben my nuts cause my
sac feels good not for swag it is
comfortable

Verse 3

I love bein black seein blacks
do good, head knod given dap
to the blacks in the room, i love
that connection the unspoken
bond when a black see’s a black
in a room full of whites, it’s
presumed i can fight by the whites
cause my skin i’m only 5 foot 5
my dude, it is you who should win
in a fight if you think logically i
should be more scared of you,
i rap cause i’m black or im black
cause i rap, i trapped just to trap
like a hunter for sport, i mac’ed
just to mac i can’t help that i’m
smooth, but i’m hood cause of
that man these white people weird,
cause i sold me some sacs and
my swagg hellu surf, i am not T.I.
it was whites that i served, whites
like you with their stereo types,
strait shattered like glass when they
met me like hi,
