C'mon [repeated]



When he was a kid he was the joker

Low potential, straight mediocre

Class clown, sneak off out the back door

Long hair leave a grease spot on the black board

C'mon honey take off that bra

Tryin to hit a homerun in your mom's garage

He loved graffiti, it opened him

Creeped down the alley with a can of rustoleum

Canvas, that flat surface

He learned quick to control the nervousness

If it aint buildin he burnt the bridge

And no he dont give a damn what the curfew is

Chased away all the saving grace

While them old folks bitch about the way hes raised

Southside Minneatmosphere

Get ya running from the cops just for practice here

Well what do ya know he got older 

Trying to apply what childhood showed him

Everybody left out in that cold

To try to learn how to manage all that weight on his shoulders

We all want the easy life a piece of the pie that'll keep us high

So turn it up til' the speakers cry

And don't quit til' you reach the sky, c'mon

And as an adult he took a good look

Stayed away from the gangs and the crooks

Even though he came from the same neighborhood

So he fully understood that gang textbook

Stay original be individual

Push the pedal and never settle for the typical

Feed your children look out for your people

Live and let live and each one teach those

Good luck get a tight defense

And i hope you can depend on your higher sense

Blanked emcees let em grow for 

The followers, felons, the fallen soldiers

Hey rapper, we know it don't stop

But don't forget about the folks on your block

hey dopeman what you doin with the cash crop

fuckin up gettin fat, fuckin up fellow have nots

hey preacher, politician

is that the house you live in

how's the kitchen

hey policeman dont bother

even as a kid i only played robbers and robbers

headphone activists

aggressive pacifists

i aint saying you gotta kill cops

just look at your life check what its built off
