Ain’t That Mellow

Lyrics

[Intro] Uh, uh, uh Check it out, uh [Verse 1] One crack vial, one black child One life, live it twice then it's man down Pretty nigga pleadin' guilty to my damn style Pretty bitches try to milk me, I got mad cow Milk dray blues, the block did a nigga wrong Record labels want sign, I need a bigger song If I ain't hot yet, then I'm just feelin' warm Soon as my rain cloud hovers, you gon' feel the storm Big Pun was my brother, now my brother's gone For every lost loved one, they say another's born Child support cases, my baby mother's gone She want me back as a lover, but the love is torn Fast forward to the past see my pop's livin' Rewind me back to the future, see my pop's spirit If I'm a genius then I gotta say hip hop did it And I ain't never been a cop but I got shit on lock And if a nigga touch my kids, my Glock spittin' Who gives a fuck about a yacht when your pot's finished? We smoke pot and drink a lot to drown the bad news Government cheese, quick check liars can't fool That's why my motto for tomorrow is: I can't lose Thin line between love and hate, what does a man choose? Stomach burnin' 'cause the hunger got a tight hold I'm just a broke nigga tryna rock white gold We on life support, who will the lights go? Basket case, Aasim, I'm a pyscho Fuck a gimmick, fuck a critic's what my name scream Fuck it all, middle finger to the mainstream [Chorus] Uh, I need a prayer if somebody got a ear Listen to my silence, it's so loud and clear If I drown in beers, it's just so my nightmares Won't keep me awake 'cause life so unfair Uh, I need a prayer if somebody got a ear Listen to my silence, it's so loud and clear If I shed no tears, it's not 'cause I don't care It's just 'cause I live life fast with no fear [Verse 2] Yeah, uh, when does my faith get a breather? The ghetto is full of skeptics, you gotta make 'em believers At the lunch table rappin', labelled underachiever From the cradle to the Air Force label under my sneakers I'm just a product of a black couple never married A bitter woman who was mad as fuck and never happy A rollin' stone father always in some woman's panties This type of tug-of-war might just win a couple Grammies That's why a baller nigga just don't got the mind to understand me My truth ain't gucci And my eviction notice ain't a penthouse suite with a bunch of groupies Watches never worn or a closet full of Louies And some white t-shirt, with yellow stains under both arms Albums bein' done and me appearin' on no songs So mama need a house, and baby need some shoes Records don't sell, my pub money's down the tubes Now I'm down to $2 and it's bills due This is the type music starvin' niggas kill to As the sands in the hourglass fade The top is where I'm headin', I'm only seconds away, come on [Chorus] Uh, I need a prayer if somebody got a ear Listen to my silence, it's so loud and clear If I drown in beers, it's just so my nightmares Won't keep me awake 'cause life so unfair Uh, I need a prayer if somebody got a ear Listen to my silence, it's so loud and clear If I shed no tears, it's not 'cause I don't care It's just 'cause I live life fast with no fear
