lyrics

charles verse:
inspired to be a writer temporarily limited
cause it’s way more skills to gain in this world of infinite
possibilities and i’m working on my penmanship
tryna craft a cooler style put a little spin on it

hey hey hey

coming with the remedy
know that you been hearing music but not really feeling it
hopefully to you this here is more like the blue pill in this
matrix of the major music making and we killin it
breaking em’ down…not barriers cause this ain’t profound
but the way we kickin it makes em’ wanna get down
sit down, knod their heads twice then bounce
to the store pay a fraction of the price for the cd now
laugh if you want, half if you want
laugh if you want, half of you won’t

that’s the problem with the music these days
the cats that’s coming with the cool shit aint getting no play
so I just sit back listening to the disk that
inspires me to make some ish i can kick back to
hopefully it will inspire you to create that new strain for to crumble in your zigzag

i hear the riff raff of everyday mixed tracks
get mad thinking to myself if that’s all you gon do
well you should get back stop playing round with h.e.r. bounce let a real n**** hit that

hook:
either you fuckin bitches or slangin that ye
either you poppin pills or you hittin that hay
this the type of ish that makes me question hey
is this the type of music that i want to hear everyday?

either you shooting niggas and you sprayin that k
or teaching youngins that its cool to just fade away
this the type of ish that makes me question hey
is this the type of music that i want to hear everyday?

no disrespect (but put this in your tape deck) x4

charles verse:
no disrespect to the people from the areas
where the news cameras won’t go cause they scared of ya
where the problems get so deep but the world won’t acknowledge
cause society decided that the hood won’t important.

i know that people get shot on the daily,
youngins spray heat and it’s hard to find safety
and i wish it won’t like that.
type ish make me think the government just don’t like black
but then i see it from another perspective
sometimes i think the reason we’re not respected
is because all they think we really do is shoot and kill each other
contract aids, drug addicted, rob and steal from each other
and the assigned perception doesn’t help when all they see
is only niggas, bitches, hoes poppin’ molly on t.v.

funny thing is that’s what they all wanna be
many who ain’t black but they deny all that

if we could tap into our true potential we’d be for sure
instead of fighting each other each and everywhere we go
we can’t even come together for the doe
see us on t.v. we’re at each other’s throat

bitch nigga this bitch nigga that so
this nigga hit and disfigured that hoe
thank willie lynch cause we can’t come together for nothing
conflicted the whole time fucking bitches getting money

outro:
they say everybody wanna be black cause we’re super cool but its unity that we lack (x3)
put this in your tape deck
