Role Model Songtext
von Chipmunk

So you tell me who the kids are looking up to
Cheah
Superman chick
Listen up, listen up

See they say that I′m a role model
But I didn't ask to be
Should I know what it′s like going college every day
In my hood when I know man are after me
They wanna see me fall 'cause I'm on TV (telly)
And all the little kids wanna be like me
So I guess I′m a role model (it′s no lie)
So I guess I'm a role model


Listen
Balls in the suttin′ in the morn' ain′t me
Human nature, I grab what I see
In fear of your life, you'll grab what′s in sight
And swing from the left to the right, alie?
Listen, me, I'm just like you
My shit does stink, I'm human too
So why should I mek a man violate me
If you won′t ever mek a man violate you?
See it′s more than a catch-22
Yeah I'm in the limelight but what can I do?
If they choose to shut me out they will
And So Solid Crew be the damn living proof
See the media promote, they promoted violence
But did not promote cry or broken silence
But that′s just the life of an artist
The spotlight makes you a target

See they say that I'm a role model
But I didn′t ask to be
Should I know what it's like going college every day
In my hood when I know man are after me
They wanna see me fall ′cause I'm on TV (telly)
And all the little kids wanna be like me
So I guess I'm a role model (it′s no lie)
So I guess I′m a role model


Listen, I'm proof you ain′t gotta be a nerd to get A's
Proof you ain′t gotta be a shotta to get paid
Coming up, I had some doors closed in my face
On the road to success I made me a lane
Paved me a way, just me and my team
Kept seeing red but moved like it's green
I couldn′t find money but I'd find hope
Chasing a dream with a blindfold
Tryna find money with my eyes closed
Well I might as well have been
Tryna get to heaven but it feels like hell I'm in
And Gucci′s got me blowing my dough
′Cause I just spend money whenever I feel low
I feel like my mind's in a mosh pit
But that′s just the life of an artist
See the spotlight made me a target

See they say that I'm a role model
But I didn′t ask to be
Should I know what it's like going college every day
In my hood when I know man are after me
They wanna see me fall ′cause I'm on TV (telly)
And all the little kids wanna be like me
So I guess I'm a role model (it′s no lie)
So I guess I′m a role model

C's up, listen
Growing up in T where there′s more hate than love
I was looking up to men that made money off of drugs
G's surrounded by chicks in the club
Like who the hell said money can′t buy love?
And school's where the attitude starts
Most of your learning′s irrelevant out of class
Teach the kids to get A's and shit
But don't tell ′em how to get mortgages
Society′s designed to contain us in
But I know just what I be here for
'Cause I give ′em everything but still they want more
And 2Pac'd probably die they′d care more (rest in peace)
But I ain't tryna die to sell
But I ain′t tryna ask for help
That's just the life of an artist
The spotlight made me a target

See they say that I'm a role model
But I didn′t ask to be
Should I know what it′s like going college every day
In my hood when I know man are after me
They wanna see me fall 'cause I′m on TV (telly)
And all the little kids wanna be like me
So I guess I'm a role model (it′s no lie)
So I guess I'm a role model

See what people fail to understand
Is that when you′re an artist
Even if you're in the right, you're in the wrong
You can′t win
Let me get some A′s, they won't put that in the paper
But let me go mad, and do a total madness
Probably even get the front page
Itching to see me fall, it won′t happen
I got some awards on me now
