$MARCx - Midnight Curfew lyrics

[Intro] (Maya Angelou) I want to talk to you about morals. The morals of the young people today It's gonna get them in big trouble. Because they act like they don't know the difference between right and wrong And one of the reasons is their parents. Their parents are not taking care of the children They are not telling them the difference between right and wrong! (clip from 'Menace II Society') [Verse 1] On a random note....Dear Dr. Angelou, I'm sorry I ain't take the chance to vote But rap music is more than just what some fans promote Still we rise, to them hustlers outside With the .45's in their Levis, my n***a be wise Street diplomats who ain't got diplomas, too busy hugging them corners Using payphones to pop open Coronas, this sh** for you! I'm living proof young n***as can be productive Cause it's us against the world, it's just us--but it ain't no justice! The system corrupted, then they wonder why we don't trust it It's designed for us to fail that's why prisons overflooded When I call you 'lil n***a' man I don't mean it like the slave I mean like my lil brother I'm tryna keep up out the grave With that said: you my lil n***a, you ain't got no father figure And on top of that I know the odds against ya I never thought that I'd be the one these young kids look up to I guess they know that I identify with the struggle [Bridge] Listen I'm Langston Hughes drinking a brew That hopeless youth out skipping school Smoking reefer, thinking it's cool [Hook] Because ain't nobody stopping you but you lil n***a! Ain't nobody stopping you but you lil n***a! You can be a rapper or a doctor, bruh, whatever you choose But know the only thing stopping is you lil n***a! Ain't nobody stopping you but you lil n***a! Thinking way back, remember I was that little [Verse 2] This goes to them young females with no respect for themselves Thinking they grown women when they only 12 Listen you way too young to even be thinking about a wedding On that path that you headed, that's how kids end up pregnant You ain't 14, take a minute think about your dreams When that baby drop it's time to focus on more important things Listen to your dad, because he preyed on women in the past Problem is you trying to grow up too fast Focused on being with whatever n***a got the most cash Self-esteem gone be shattered when he leave your a** Have some cla**, you got your whole life to grow up Girls at school spreading rumors about ya, so what? You see, life ain't a fashion show, it's more than rocking the latest clothes You'll regret it when you get old, so set yourself some goals If you got a goal, hustling something that you must do But along the way don't let your hustle corrupt you [Bridge 2] I take a walk in her shoes on Verse 2 That future prostitute sneaking out, breaking curfew [Hook 2] Because ain't nobody stopping you but you lil sister! Ain't nobody stopping you but you lil sister! You can be a lawyer, a model--"An actress?" Yeah that too But know the only thing stopping you is you lil sister! Ain't nobody stopping you but you lil sister! Thinking way back, remember I was that little I'm Langston Hughes drinking a brew That hopeless youth out skipping school Smoking reefer, thinking it's cool BECAUSE AIN'T NOBODY STOPPING YOU BUT YOU LIL ni**a AIN'T NOBODY STOPPING YOU BUT YOU LIL ni**a I take a walk in her shoes on Verse 2 That future prostitute sneaking out, breaking curfew BECAUSE AIN'T NOBODY STOPPING YOU BUT YOU LIL SISTER AIN'T NOBODY STOPPING YOU BUT YOU LIL SISTER (Hotbox Skit) You know Money? Your style is so throwback, it just takes me back Almost makes me wanna. . . . . © $MARCx 2013
