Brother Ali - Sweet (Potatoe Pie) lyrics

[Verse One]: Hot in the daytime I ain't buying no pumpkin pie Bake the sweet potato kind, kick it up a notch No recipe involved it's all memorized Customized so each one, one of a kind No disrespect implied but your great grandma recipe she made for Sunday supper time ain't f**ing with mine Yeah I rhyme kind of nice, but my sweet potato pie slice will get me five mics Nothing out a box or a can It's all natural, that which grows out the land Toss 'em in a pan, mix the white with the brown sugar Got the mixing bowl looking like my children Hop in and I drown them in the bu*ter sauce A couple tossed up eggs to make it fluffy soft Cinnamon, nutmeg, almond, vanilla If I tell y'all the rest, well then I got to k** ya Even if I give you a list of the ingredients Step by step instructions on how to season it Just how to set your oven when preheating it sh** just ain't gonna taste the same unless Ali did it I ain't just putting pie on your table I'm trying to bring a tear for your eye for your baby Let you see how I feel inside when you taste it I love you and I would die for you baby Them old ladies got it right when they raised me Told the young man this life get kind of crazy Taking what they gave me and I made it something beautiful Old people know that you got to feed your soul I know the struggle can be crushing, it'll leave you with a hunger for some loving Make something out of nothing Come and get some comfort for your stomach Your Brother pulling something lovely out the oven [Verse Two]: Alright, real talk, the pie became a problem Cause I ain't getting taller but I'm steady getting wider And my blood sugar rising and my heart got to clogging My guy had to pull me to the side, got to talking 'bout "You supposed to be eating to live You shouldn't even keep sweets at your crib You need to be healthy for your kids Boy, you don't need to get Diabetes, you can lose your feet to that sh** Each pie is what? A cup of sugar, half a stick of bu*ter How many slices of that sh** you sticking in your stomach? I mean, you always been a little fluffy But keep it up and you gonna be a Chris Farley looking motherf**er I mean, I hear that you're not smoking or drinking So you probably use the food that you make when you're escaping Maybe just take it out of regular rotation Save it for a special occasion Truncate it." [Outro] [Brother Ali talking]: Holidays is over y'all. 2012 is here. The pies is down and the bars is up. Morning in America, Dreaming In Color. I got this one
