[Intro: The Black Sheep]
Positive. Vibe
Got a special guest
See, see-
This is true stuff
It's too real
Suave the Performer coming up:
Listen up
[Verse 1: Suave the Performer]
I always told that we ain't never had the money
So I never asked for things
And I was always being told that I would not amount to nothing
So I pushed away my dreams
And then I went into The Pin
And got depressed because of stress
But then I looked within myself
And knew that somehow I was thinking very different from the rest
So I found myself a pen
And then I wrote away my issues
Had an issue after issue
Momma please put down the tissues
Don't you know how much I miss you?
I been fighting for my breath
Cuz I been strangled with this test
Trying to walk a better path
But you know sometimes I need rest
Trying to make it through the bar
But walking straight is kinda hard
There's too much on my mind
And I been playing different cards
Trying to rise into a king
And spread my heart along the way
But I been fearing that I'll end up being caught up in the fame. Dang
[Chorus: Suave the Performer]
But you ain't doing any better
And she ain't doing any better
Yeah, he could do a little better
But you ain't doing any better
And they ain't doing any better
Yeah, they could do a little better
Yeah, we could do a little-
More, I suppose
[Verse 2: The Black Sheep]
I'm serious, I'm serious
Emotions delirious
This world is so mysterious
How can you not be so curious
Man I'm just so furious
Thinking how we started at the bottom
Now we trying to climb on top of pyramids
Thank you Lord for the experience
I used to feel like a lab rat in an experiment
Now all the bull, I'm not hearing it
Obstacle course, I'm clearing it
Just hear me vent, please
I'm down on my knees
Asking to God please
Show my people mercy
We been down for centuries
But like a Phoenix, we rise from the ashes
All the hate, soon backlashes
All the wars we've had too tragic
Man our graveyards getting too ma**ive
And we blind to fact need gla**es
Why people can't show compa**ion
Tell me how did all of this happen?
I don't know how, I don't know how
But I know now
I started from the bottom from the ground
Now it's time to be the king of this town
Making sure we afloat and never drown
Keep your head up and never look down...And never back down
[Chorus]
But you ain't doing any better
(you could do a little better)x2
And she ain't doing any better
(she could do a little more)x2
Yeah, he could do a little better
(he could do a little better)
But you ain't doing any better
(you could do a little better)x2
And they ain't doing any better
(yeah they could do a little better)x2
Yeah, they could do a little better
(come on)x2
Yeah, we could do a little-
Less...
Man, I guess
