Black Sheep - Autobiographical lyrics

It's the brown child
Better version of the story
Sees Conji, a sister, mother played by Tori
In Astoria, kid named Tiki took the cake
The greens and the steak and
The potatoes and the plate
Never a dummy, rejections are funny
Cuz, the first years of my life I
Thought that food stamps were money
So by ten I was the mess
Got a men and then I had friend
So now I'm snatching pocket
Books with Sean Wilkinson 'Get that money
Lil nigga' that's what they told me
I never sweated props cause like my
Pops they couldn't hold me
Until he found shorty's got it going on
Rolling on damn, Who told? bendecion
The Bland man, and my pop don't give a damn
The day I played with matches
Took the stove to my hand


Hot temperature! He told me
The players' version
The ego in submersion for the
End of week excursion
Until I'm back, back on the scene
Like a ball on the green
Giving strokes with my team
Cuz, despite the commentary pop told me
I'm lowly
And moms change bank can't hold me, so
She don't scold me, she just grabs the belt
Knuckle the buckle
Tells me all about the pain she felt
At the precinct when a pre-teen
Was spotted at the scene
Came up with the green
Not a cop could intervene

Listen here, you little motherfucker
You ain't going to fuck with me
Got me coming to this damn precinct
Dammit, I'm a kick your motherfucking ass
Shit! You ain't going to drive me crazy

Now, dig it, Tori met Tom not too long ago
He was a nigga, yo
He said he had the flow though
He loved a bro, I know I didn't see you grow
To a TV show cause the nigga
Said we all could go
So I'm up and out of the ghetto
Son of a gold miner
City slick in Carolina standing
Out like Ming china
A golden bull at heart though I moved around
The balls bounced to the bottom
Settled at a small town
"Hey, boy! What's your name?!" First day
First fight i'm out of New York and 'boy' it
Don't sit right if you're white
Light were my steps from there
Did my dirt on the low
A Southern town nightmare
Cause the next year it was me
And "F" on the furlough
We were the only Queens kids
But there were other boroughs
With Rockwell, D-Ski, Ron Duke and Freddie
New York was represented like we
Danced for Rock Steady
Stan had tables and mics, every brother nice
Not only could we rip and
Rhyme but backspin and slice
With Paris and Foxy and Christina P's bust
You know them loud, raunchy
Trouble making niggas? That was us
A menace yet still I played tennis
Ain't that cruddy advanced with the Reeboks
They called them 'cut buddies'
I hung with one, only one younger brother
Shorty Doo Wop could cut and
Scratch up any other
Bigger than his size, was barely five feet
In '83 broke beats that today rock streets
With no one to grade it, still never debated
Some saw and hated but
They never contemplated
Yeah! It was the foul child with wild styles
Pal but not foul a dis was never okay unless
It came before corral
Pals of mine, peoples though were down
I graduate next week and, yo
Next week I'm NY bound
Seven days from that one I'm leaving
Love that weighs a ton
I'm going to miss you niggas, yo
That rapping shit was crazy fun
But, I'm leaving on the next bus
I've got your numbers and
We'll keep in touch, i trust
Gliding, riding back to my domain
For love and money, fuck fame
My life will never be the same
As the next man's words, can you dig it?
I say I got a scheme, a yo
I gots you figured

Yo, wassup, wassup is money out here?
Yo, I just got a call from that nigga Tiki
Remember that nigga Tiki?
He on his way from down South

My real pops was a pusher
When we left he had a section
So I keep it in the family
Or at least I make connections
With the prime figures for affiliated support
In my purchase of cargo in
The import and export
Flushing, Queens: back when junkies
Was the fiends
My childhood friends held buddha
Had babies in dreams
I took pops off my shit list
Cause he had the fitness
To help Tiki get his, what the fuck
Pop? Jehovah witness
What the fuck, pop? What's with the fizz-plop
I'm like
I can't put him down but the shit don't stop
Worked at a law firm, for lack of fear
I wrote a resume
Spending words like a millionaire
From there to the bank
See the bank's down the block
So now I'm close to home, I clock, I plot
With Popote, he's my cousin and a wily one
Though the kid was younger
Quick like thunder
With the heart to put you under
Props even, the shit can't fail
I saw Reese, bagged with Pote and made a sale

Go ahead, get that money get that money!
I ain't going to let nobody see you
I got your back, baby, I got your back
You want five? You only got two

On one late night, I had made a nice amount
More than two weeks pay
Playing with the new accounts
So I rose like a petal, fuck pops
I run with thugs
Levis, Tims, hoodie, coat, skully, drugs
Fatigues before they were the fashion
Pockets with work and others with cash in
Thought I was cool with tools and mad trap
My pops was like "read this" but
I was like fuck that
So I jingle-jangled, clocked at every angle
Tiki's getting paid and
His crew's star-spangled
And everyday, all day night, yo, whatever
Niggas on the strip in sub-zero weather
Back before the first generation of fiends
My team was sheer cream
Keeping dollar bills green
Fashion, Calvin cooler
Playing Rick the Ruler
And I won't front on nobody cause
I pulled on a woolah
Back in '86 ­ first, foremost and final
Rhyming on the corner
All I want to be's on vinyl
I bum rush and boom bash, not even for merit
Bounce out to see Reg and Joe down on Merrick
But mostly it's the strip that
I played like a cock
On the block until the day I got knocked
