Nappy Roots -Play Clothes [Lyric Video]

All my life been po' but it really don't matter no mo'

And they wonder why we act this way, Nappy Boys gon' be okay

All my life been po' but it really don't matter no mo'

And they wonder why we act this way, Nappy Roots gon' be okay, okay

We came in the game, plain ya see

Average man when the rest was ashamed to be

Nappy head and all, ain't no changin' me

So rough it was, downright wrong I tell ya

Nobody never gave us nothin' but tough time and made us somethin'

Different stretch of road, new somethin' to see

Every state on the map, a different somethin' to eat

Daps and handshakes, it meant nuttin' for real

Everybody makin' a killin' man, showin' no feelin's

Walkin' off collectin' pay, it's the way of the world

Can't change it, so I guess I'm gon' pray for the world

Sometimes I ask myself, was I made for the world?

I scream this to you, and I say it to the world

Nappy then, Nappy now, Nappy for a bit

Knee-deep, head over heels in this country shit

All my life been po', but it really don't matter no mo'

And they wonder why we act this way, Nappy Boys gon' be okay

All my life been po', but it really don't matter no mo'

And they wonder why we act this way, Nappy Roots gon' be okay, okay

Even though I picture better days

I'm thankful for the chance I got to say amen

The Lord done blessed me with his grace

I wish this day would never end

We represent the slums, where we from, we feel they bump

Polish shot off on these presidents, and hard times they go and come

Some take up off, without the chance, to make it at all

Who woulda thought skinny'd be the one that's, makin' this call

Lord, help me out, tell me where I went wrong

I'm tryna find a righteous path, although it's, never been long

I gotta do it for my sons, they tellin' me, daddy be strong

We gon' make it through these hard times

Even though they go and they come

Ya absolutely right, for somethin' happen to me on last Tuesday night

It's plain as day, man they with this world trade
