Nappyhead ft. Mr. Fritz Lyrics

Always felt like I'm losing my mind...

Been a while since I seen the receipt...

Use to have dreams of the beach...

Counting cash in executive suites...

Used to hit licks on the regular...

To Get my respect from the streets

Drama be hitting my cellular...

And I kept me a weapon for beef

Years pass so fast

Had a lot of niggas I would laugh with

I done lost some niggas in my faction

Some in prison, some got mad kids

Some are pushing up daisies...

And I think about em daily

Some niggas that I thought were there realest some funny niggas, Wayne Brady

It feels so cold outside...

Yeah, my hood done seen better days

I still fuck with niggas that's in the cut

But nowadays, need a better fade

Hold down the B, sipping lemonade

All my trees on a better grade

But I still got some dues, I'll get em paid

Making sure all my dudes get hella plays

Now I'm hungrier and wiser

Hallelujah back to rap now

Street Fighter, no defense... You won't ever see me back down

School of hard knocks, class clown

I got one shot, like the last round

It's a celebration, but ya glass down

Time to put Mattapan on some maps now

Iluhdis

The first revolution is when you change your mind

About how you look at things

And see that there might be another way to look at it

That you have not been shown

What you see later on is the results of that

But the revolution that change that takes place

Will not be televised

Guess I'm just another nappy headed nigga with a dream...

Uh oh uh oh...

Pants saggin...weed smokin...

NIGGAS!

Guess I'm just another nappy headed nigga with a dream

Summer, spring, winter, Fall, grind

Always been the type to chase mine

Melenated educated brotha

Hustle like I'm running outta time

Used to run the streets with all my bros

Chasing bitches, diamonds and clothes

Nowadays I see the bigger picture

Took a minute, now I feel the growth

Many turned they backs to me... Tuh?

Could've let it phase me, but nope

Understand that's just how life goes

I'll roll with the punches, I suppose

Niggas talking bout they wanna shine

I tell em all that glitters ain't gold

But now I want that platinum shit

Just a brotha speaking facts in all my raps and shit

I still dream about my past and shit

How close I was to trapping if it wasn't for this rapping shit

So sick and tired of all the capping shit

My only desire get on a track and spit

Stories about my struggle

Tips all about the hustle

How I dealt with all my troubles

How I cope with all my pain

How I'll change the game

Untll they put me in the hall of fame from

B-O-S-T-O-N nigga

I was born and raised

A nigga used to cause a raucous in the older days

Danced with the devil without knowing there's hell to pay

Well I ain't going to hell today

Popping off you'd think it's shells and cases

Yeah I mean it, you could tell the Jakes

I'll beat the case, you see the face of me

The great, emcee the cake I need, I chase it nigga

The first step towards having people change is try to change their minds

To inform them giving them some information about your perspective

Tell them how you see things

And why you feel the way you do

As opposed to what they're being bombarded with all the time

But the first thing that you do is you try to get your house together

Then next door

Then the block.

You don't try to go out and change the world tomorrow

Without taking any of those steps in between...

We should've started tonight off with a word of prayer

And we're gonna have a word of prayer

I... I need, uh...

Prayer for our community

Sometimes we might hear negative things in our community...

But we have a great community

Mattapan's a great community

Great community

Great community

And we have a lot of wonderful things going on

So let's embrace the great things we have in this city

And have in this...

Area of Mattapan
