Caution

They told me not to do it, I just couldn't stand myself
I just couldn't stand there and watch
The people that I love don't recognize I need some help

Obiaa se, don't do it
We all have been through it, you just gotta repeat the cycle to get through it
Fr3 me Nike on the track, the way that I just do it
I can't choose no other life, can never adjust to it
Here's a list of things that always seem to bother my mind
How they say it gets better with time, and we're in terrible times
And how we perish in these perilous times
And politicians perpetrating the crime
They should be doing the time
Posterity might never survive, that's way before they're even alive
Most of y'all won't listen, cuz you would rather go dancing
Than come and listen when I'm listing their lies
The cake is finished now they're after your pie
And we can't have no banks cuz the rivers are dried
It's only logic, I ain't telling you lies
The preacher man been telling you lies
It's all vanity but have you seen the van that he drives?

Have you seen the Van that he drives?
Have you?

Uh
Calling the youth Lazy and maybe I'm just crazy
But some older generation are thieves
Lawyers, teachers, doctors, somebody said the president
And you can call me fake if I forgot the police
They arrest and harass us
Act a judge, jury, killer, without morals, even without standards
You prolly like who made me a judge?
You aren't morally obliged to even utter a word
But I'm tired of everything, politicking and the games
The old and the married going after our dames
It's all about the sex and the blackmail
Get a job in exchange for sex with a black male
But oh well... Ha

They told me not to do it, I just couldn't stand myself
I just couldn't stand there and watch, uh
The people that I love don't recognise I need some help!

This rap thing is all I wanted to do
But my pops no dey think say e be profitable
Go to school, be a doctor or an engineer
Or study law, or something else, find a better career
Cuz only a small portion really make it out
The rest be drug addicts, drop outs and lazy...
What if you never get signed and you never get on
You're wasting your life, you're not a little kid anymore
But this is that one thing that was meant for me
Everybody got a talent or a special thing (Yeah)
Without rap, man it's obvious I'll be incomplete
It's like putting an atheist up in a church to preach
Misplaced, disgraced, it's all love when I'm putting out a mixtape
And If I don't do this then e be mistake
I only got one life, I gotta be great
And so I take the shots like cameras, no distraction bro
It's passion, drive, action, till we stacking dough
So no matter what you say I never settle for less
Married to this shit bro, For better or worse!

They told me not to do it, I just couldn't stand myself
