Imitate

Uh, yo

Texas

Uh

Yo

Yo

Yo, yo

Kids are imitators so give them something to imitate

Don't be old and grumpy, don't hold in your wisdom

Whether he's pacing or he's banging, either way he's in the system

Don't be dumb, you's a gangster but you

Groovin' 'cause you know it's all for fun

Is it all your past perceptions or the man that you've become?

Seen a life that I like, shot my shot but my neighbor sees a gun

'Cause I'm black, just snakes in apple pie, it's out this apple tree

Attracts love, it's blind, but it's Eve inside that Cadillac

Then what you gon' do? Ring, ring, who is that?

Freedom's calling, it's 'bout time you called me back

Matter fact I've been expecting your parade

Because they flaunting your charisma while the rest of us enslaved

God must've spent a little more time on you

And your crew, don't take it out of context

But I just quit my nine to five

Just to stack enough dough to make biscuits for the projects

God must've spent a little more time on you

And your crew, don't take it out of context

But I just quit my nine to five

Just to stack more dough, nigga, tell me where you find that

When they say, "boys will be boys and we shall do what we please"

I'm pretty sure that don't apply to us

We wear our hearts on our sleeves even when nobody sees

And then parade through the streets, this is survival, bruh

You ever seen a man cry? Pay close attention when a man dies

Divide the Earth and the election is a landslide

Oh, you would think, the system got our hands tied

Most of us can't even vote, convicted felons

Better off selling false hope and watermelon

Black fist, afro, pig, I'm number seven

God's lucky number, get money, I'm counting blessings

Said the reverend

God must've spent a little more time on you

And your crew, don't take it out of context

But I just quit my nine to five
