Cydel Young - Barry White lyrics

[Intro: Barry White Sample] Midnight, seems so nice to me It's the start of a new day And there's no place in this world that I'd rather be than right here With midnight and you Right on baby Right on CYHI! [Verse 1: CyHi The Prynce] It started round 1976 Back when white folks was the only ones selling bricks A little mary jane was the most you got arrested with They hit you with some charges but it really never stick Back when my daddy was bumping Earth, Wind and Fire Blowing 'erb from the earth and the wind wants to hit the fire We wasn't selling them shawty, we was just the buyers This was back when blacks first started getting hired Then something perspired in the early 80s Ronald Reagan introduced us to that perfect lady If you cook it right its just like a cooking rice Now your pockets looking right then you bought your first Mercedes Now people getting addicted, mamas having early babies The streets is getting crazy so you bought your first .380 And thats when n***as started dying every night So go and sell some weed cause n***a this sh** can carry life I'm here to bury white [Hook] I'm here to bury white I'm here to bury white I'm here to bury white CYHI! [Verse 2: CyHi The Prynce] Fast forward 1990 is the year It started as a hustle, n***as made it a career Now we f**ing b**hes, got paper up in here n***as k**ing in the 90s thought the 80s was severe All them leaders in the hood, they took y'all from us f**ed around and gave them all football numbers Like rap shows, n***as was getting booked all summer Them fokes don't give a f** about ya Throw that book at yo momma, your honor Imagine growing up without a father Section 8 your family always gotta ride the MARTA Selling d** was the only way I got a Starter Jacket, and some Jordans thats what the television taught us And our daughters Missing with no amber alert, probably with some little boys With they hands up her skirt Her momma dancing, going to work Even got married twice Cause the first husband got indicted for that Barry White Thats why I'm here to bury white [Verse 3: CyHi The Prynce] Now it's the early 2000's and the streets grew violent From the baking soda and the see-through Pyrex Mixed with Viola, be careful when you meet new clients For the love of money they'll creep through silent All you hear is police blue sirens He used to play ball, went to a D-II college Dropped out, met a plug from overseas who's supplying Whoever thought n***as in the streets knew science? How we get them bricks if we never own the boat? They give you more time for hard than for soft But on the low, the laws were made against us Thats how they Willie Lynched us Cause we only sold crack, we was never known for coke They say it ain't over till the fat lady sings But it's crazy how your own parter can hold a note Better than Kelly Price just to save his petty life Instead of giving you Barry Sanders, they gave you Jerry Rice Thats why I'm here to bury white [Outro: Dave Chappelle Sample] Let's sprinkle some crack on him and get outta here
