Nappy U Here Songtext
von Nappy Roots

Nappy you here, glad that you here
Glad to see you make it
Still skatin′, still takin'
What they givin′, still livin'
What a feeling
Family

Happy New Year, Nappy you here
We envisioning the new clear
We the center of this blue sphere
And we promising, picture Shaq in his LSU gear (we back)
Take it back to the plants on the front porch
To the lives we done lost over front dope
To the kids who achieve what they want most
To our dreams, hope you come close, cheers
Red clay, red cap with the red A
Good kid quit school, then he went astray
You can learn every law that the man make
But in the end, I believe God keep us straight


I'm nappy to be here, my cup is full and raised in the atmosphere
I′m thankful for the fact that we
Done made it through a hell of a year
Yep, my babies getting older, time be flying when you open
Like a screen door in the summertime, I′m grinding, mostly focused
At the task at hand, survival of the fittest is the master plan
The winner keep the spoils of war, the art I understand
Oh Lord, not again, please don't let me fall back in the slump
I′m paranoid, I'm losing it, I′m sleeping with the pump
Double eyed buck and I could give a fuck 'bout what you want
But let me keep it cool and take a couple puffs off of the blunt
Times is getting hard, industry is changing like the weather
We been killin′ shit since chicken
Grits and definitely wood and leather

Nappy you here, glad that you here
Glad to see you make it
Still skatin', still takin'
What they givin′, still livin′
What a feeling
Family


Fire couldn't kill it, water couldn′t drown us
Coach used to say if you can play, they'll find you
Thank God for Jack Daniels
When the going gets tough, go get gloves
And grab it by the handle, and handle it
Smiles don′t mean it's all good
All my life I been poor, so I witness real hood
Vito really do it, and let them record it
So you can YouTube it, then Facebook it
Hell nah, you′re not me
And I could care a little, and give a
Damn a lot less what you think about me
Smoke, drink, and you think about me
End result, it'll be about me

I remember it like yesterday, barely had a pot to piss
Just some watermelon, piece of chicken, and a pot of grits
On top of this, cheap whiskey, whatever you gotta spend
Looking back on it all, it seems so innocent
The OGs told me to cherish these good old days
Should've known they was droppin′ jewels by the looks in they face
Looking like he′d give anything, he could've took my place
Took a last look at his whiskey, took it to the face
Don′t wanna end up that cat with dreams he should've chased
So what good is the trap if cats can′t escape?
Life's a book written in ink that you can′t erase
Lord, don't let this all be a beautiful waste

Still skatin', still takin′
What they givin′, still livin'
What a feeling, what a feeling, what a feeling

Listen, it′s a small world, watch what you do
Can't argue with a fool
Man, these young cats is liable to shoot
Like it ain′t no thing
Better watch what you're smiling with
′Cause they don't play no games like hotel TVs
With that block on the cable cord
But killing your people don't make you hard, shit′s real
Rest in peace, Nate Dogg, one day you′re here
Then the next day you're gone, dude was just at the crib
Didn′t get the chance to tell him how you really feel
But that's just how it is, gotta live with the guilt
I know it′s hard to get over, but you must get through it
One way or the other, that's life
Every day we deal with something new
Never getting too comfortable, stay on alert
Keep my guards up high
′Cause tomorrow I ain't promised e'ry day on this earth
