WHAT ABOUT ME?

MY MOMZ SAID SHE’S 100% SURE

HIS MAMMA SAID THE SAME THING

YOU SITTING THERE NODDING IN AGREEMENT

BUT WHAT ABOUT ME

WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD

JUST THE RAIN IN MY FACE

I STROLLED ABOUT MY WAY

NOT SURE OF MY PACE

MUSIC IN MY EARS

TO THE BEAT OF MY HEART

NOT TRIPPING ABOUT TOMORROW

CAN’T THINK THAT FAR

STEPPING INTO MANHOOD

I NOW LOOK AROUND

SHIT, HE CAUGHT ME SLIPPING

WHO IS THIS CLOWN?

LEMME CUT THRU THIS YARD

LONG WAY FROM MY SET

HE STALKING ME HARD –

LEASH IN HAND BUT NO PET

EXCUSE YOU MR. PECKAWOOD

YOU DO KNOW I AM A MAN

YES MY SKIN IS BLACK

HOLD UP WHAT’S IN YOUR HAND

DID YOU SEE ME IN HIS HOUSE

SO WHAT I CROSSED HIS LAND

I MIGHT LOOK SLIGHT IN BUILD

I COULD RUN BUT NAWL IMMA STAND

YO’ WHY YOU NOT SPEAKING

YOU CAN CLEAR THIS SHIT RIGHT UP

YEAH I SAW YOU CREEPING

WHY YOU GET OUT YO’ TRUCK

CAN I SCREAM STRANGER DANGER

YOUR WALK SMELLS OF INTENT

MY FEAR NOW TURNS TO ANGER

MY STROLL IS NOW A SPRINT

YOU THINK I’M HIGH ON DRUGS

YOU CALL YOURSELF THE LAW

NOT ALL HOODIES HIDING THUGS

B4 YOU DROP ME I’LL STEAL YO’ JAW

DAYUM I’M ALMOST HOME

MY OL MAN GONE BE MAD

I HOPE THEY HEAR ME MOAN

IT’S THE LAST CHANCE I HAVE

WTF YOU WANNA GIVE MMA

OH SO NOW WE GONE SCRAP

YOU GONE LEARN TODAY

HOLD UP MY KNEE FELT YOUR STRAP

I BROUGHT SKITTLES TO A GUN FIGHT

I WOKE UP LATE TODAY SMILING

I DIDN’T KNOW I’D DIE TONIGHT

NOW MOMZ SITTING THERE CRYING

TAAFFE SCREAMING LET YOU BE

BUT WHAT ABOUT ME

YOU SCARFING DOWN THE CALORIES

BUT WHAT ABOUT ME

YOU CRACK A SMILE AT PROF. CARTER

BUT WHAT ABOUT ME

YOU FACING A JURY OF PEERS

BUT WHAT ABOUT ME

YOU CAN SEE THE SKY AGAIN

BUT WHAT ABOUT ME
