[00:00.00] 作曲 : Anthony, Hughes, Kent, Tisdale ...
[00:10.915] All my life been po' but it really don't matter no mo'
[00:16.147] And they wonder why we act this way,
[00:19.396] Nappy Boys gon' be okay
[00:22.093] All my life been po' but it really don't matter no mo'
[00:27.315] And they wonder why we act this way,
[00:30.131] Nappy Roots gon' be okay, okay
[00:34.159] We came in the game, plain ya see
[00:36.549] Average man when the rest was ashamed to be
[00:39.395] Nappy head and all, ain't no changin' me
[00:42.747] So rough it was, downright wrong
[00:47.395] I tell yaNobody never gave us nothin' but tough time and made us somethin'
[00:50.755] Different stretch of road, new somethin' to see
[00:53.444] Every state on the map, a different somethin' to eat
[00:56.567] Daps and handshakes, it meant nuttin' for real
[00:58.747] Everybody makin' a killin' man, showin' no feelin's
[01:01.501] Walkin' off collectin' pay, it's the way of the world
[01:04.154] Can't change it, so
[01:05.551] I guess I'm gon' pray for the world
[01:06.960] Sometimes
[01:07.896] I ask myself, was
[01:08.909] I made for the world?
[01:10.010] I scream this to you, and
[01:11.091] I say it to the world
[01:12.685] Nappy then,
[01:13.596] Nappy now,
[01:14.431] Nappy for a bit
[01:15.935] Knee-deep, head over heels in this country shit
[01:18.078] All my life been po', but it really don't matter no mo'
[01:22.498] And they wonder why we act this way,
[01:25.959] Nappy Boys gon' be okay
[01:31.138] All my life been po', but it really don't matter no mo'
[01:33.999] And they wonder why we act this way,
[01:38.592] Nappy Roots gon' be okay, okay
[01:40.240] Even though
[01:41.188] I picture better days
[01:42.279] I'm thankful for the chance
[01:43.079] I got to say amen
[01:43.879] The Lord done blessed me with his grace
[01:45.402] I wish this day would never end
[01:46.880] We represent the slums, where we from, we feel they bump
[01:48.815] Polish shot off on these presidents, and hard times they go and come
[01:51.747] Some take up off, without the chance, to make it at all
[01:54.584] Who woulda thought skinny'd be the one that's, makin' this call
[01:57.224] Lord, help me out, tell me where
[01:58.734] I went wrong
[01:59.734] I'm tryna find a righteous path, although it's, never been long
[02:02.685] I gotta do it for my sons, they tellin' me, daddy be strong
[02:05.784] We gon' make it through these hard times
[02:07.935] Even though they go and they come
[02:08.850] Ya absolutely right, for somethin' happen to me on last
[02:10.735] Tuesday night
[02:11.528] It's plain as day, man they with this world trade
[02:12.934] Naw brave any order but confoldure
[02:15.702] Better make it home when nothin' seems to matter
[02:17.816] That's when, see, everything can go any which way
[02:19.744] They got me fooled, see the henny with the
[02:22.296] JFront porch, chillin' broke, country folk, man
[02:24.272] I'm Nappy with my ways yo

[02:52.032] Got the folk with depresses of being po' man
[02:55.185] Poppa taught me an order, survive for no man
[02:57.856] Nappy got some from the roots for we gon' stand
[03:00.873] Prophit grew from a juvenile to a grown man
[03:03.798] Ya gotta take responsibility for ya own man
[03:06.328] Zonin', two blunts a mo'nin, by sunrise sometimes
[03:09.896] I love to hear my woman moanin', it's on again
[03:13.194] Damn I hope you play this song again
[03:15.890] The soul cleansin', the melody just read my end
[03:17.376] Not a lot of things but usually just appendin' my lady
[03:20.762] Been searchin' bendin' and saw my folks locked in the tenants
[03:23.833] And it don't make any sense why children and sentencin'
[03:26.689] Broadcastin' from the slums, that's why
[03:28.690] I'm writin' these sentences
[03:30.106] Just lower my income, what though we ain't finish it
