Aceyalone - Cornbread, Eddie and Me lyrics
[Aceyalone - Cornbread, Eddie and Me lyrics]
Aiyyo the police short Cornbread
In the street
And they just killed Cochise over a beat
Ah man
I'm just a brother whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please
Don't let me be misunderstood
I gotta 10 fifty-fo' under the hood
Several stages of lifespan, damned if I would
Be a dope when it's not a laughin matter
Modern contemporary man still hunt
And gather data
They want glamour, the priceless prize
Give 'em a torch and they put
The fire to your eyes
Give 'em a inch they take a
Yard and they pull your card
Throw a wrench so far in
Yours it'll leave a scar raise the bar
I pass it with the right scholastics
They made it plastic
That's why they couldn't grasp it
I always knew that you would fail me
Once shame on me twice you
Shouldn't have to tell me
And I'll be damned if I'll let
You get away with that
I just ain't playin that
That's that bullshit!
Jardine and the kids tryin to make ends me
Half dead and do dirty as
Some God damn thiefs
Yo - hold your head up
You only got your life left
Make the right step and don't
Sing the wrong song
Fight somebody your own damn size
You dead wrong
Thinkin you won't meet yo' demise
This baby here, gon' grow up to be a king
I don't know how you seein things
But that's a fact it'll be over my dead body
If I let you put a
Motherfuckin monkey on his back
Shit ain't changed, it's just the choices
The voices in your head sayin do
What you don't gotta do
They scared of themselves which means
That they scared of me and them the same
Punk-ass fools that shot at you
The lord giveth and he taketh away
God bless that I can live to see another day
And if I had it my way I'd
Hang you all by the neck
Have some respect, I'll serve and protect
Aiyyo the police short Cornbread
In the street
And they just killed Cochise over a beat
And if my teachers could see you now
They'll take your head
Cause you probably wouldn't even bow
You ain't humble, you mumble jumble
Your tower of so-called power'll crumble
You killed my uncle
Put a dagger through my brother's heart
I need another start, cause if I knew then
What I know now, it'll be wild
Booyaka! Booyaka! I'll put you in the ground
A peaceful man ain't got no place here
I guess you wanna see 'em
All die with the lambs
I face fear everyday 'til the space is clear
Then I fight 'em like a man
Cause it's what I am
Somebody told me the road
To freedom is lonely
But, I swear I ain't goin on my own
I'm takin my sisters, my families, my homies
Now I'm about to take this mother
(fucker) home
Aiyyo the police short Cornbread
In the street
And they just killed Cochise over a beat
Jardine and the kids tryin to make ends me
Half dead and do dirty as
Some God damn thiefs
In the street
And they just killed Cochise over a beat
Ah man
I'm just a brother whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please
