Locksmith, Anesha - Stand It lyrics

And mama said "Tread lightly
Your skin color is fare you bread lightly
What might seem like an advantage to some
May add vanity son and that can
Come back to bite me"
Fighting with my child hood other
Niggas would pester him
I swear to God I even thought I was Mexican
I messed around made a mess
And found the mess
Was bound to expect a sound that
Would over drown and fester in
But either Way I had to leave the Bay
The only reason why niggas even believe today
And if I would've stayed
I probably would've played right
In to the hands
Of these jealous niggas they keep at bey
But is all just semantics
I used to press up flyers and do van hit's
Now your niggas pressing down the Van Wyck
I know you can't stand it right?

And mama said "Tread lightly
Your skin color is fare you bread lightly
What might seem like an advantage to some
May add vanity son and that can
Come back to bite me"

Go against the grain I'm not
In the crowd, the crowd
The crowd oh they could
Never break me down they can't
Break me down down down

And papa said never spite me because of
My belief these other rappers won't
Like me instead of switching I'm keeping
The same position these lame niggas
That bitching I tell them to come and
Bite me fighting with demons and niggas
Think that it's horseplay i portray what I
Feel is needed of course they wanna
Take a nigga spot cause they
See a bigger plot
Until face to face with my work
Then they rapport change and can you blame
Fools they was given this dream
Like they just can't lose explain who can
Refrain from eating the same food
Without a change not go insane or vomit on
They shoes i paid dues in this
Region we need variety i think these
High niggas feel threatened by my
Sobriety but, it's all just semantics
I know you can't stand it

And mama said tread lightly
Your skin color is fare
You bread lightly what
Might seem like an advantage to some may add
Vanity son and that can come back to bite me
And papa said never spite me because of
My belief these other rappers won't
Like me instead of switching I'm keeping
The same position these lame niggas
That bitching I tell them to come and bite me

And sister used to tell me please
AlI don't be a fool if you gonna do this
Music, use rap a vehicle see this
Can me your tool but, if you ain't saying
Something meaningful to people then
You probably need to be in school well I
Guess I kept my promise but instead of
Being thankful they judge me for being
Honest and this is just a prelude o pray
You portray dude in the proper light
Just don't write me off as sone Bay
Dude explain who can refrain from eating
The same food without a change not go insane
It's you playing pool and for that
Profit these niggas get out of pocket
They watching you from them corners for
On that green and waving too and the
White stick is the night stick and
Everybody's balling from moving
That white bitch
Life slips and it's more than
Just semantics, I know you can't stand it
Right?

Go against the grain I'm not
In the crowd, the crowd
The crowd oh they could
Never break me down they can't break
Me down down down down
