Rav, The LJ - Educated lyrics

Yo man, yo you changed man
You just ain't you no more man
Look at your clothes man, what's up with that man
Man, you a different person, man
I ain't like it

Generally, people look and they think
He must hate hip-hop, they know what them think
Just 'cause I dress smart, just 'cause I look fresh
Lookin' intellectual don't mean that I'm just
One way and hate hip-hop, ya'll illiterate
That prejudice of yours is ignorant
Don't judge a book by it's cover
Don't judge a brother just by his color
I'm yellow, shit, I don't give a fuck
Grew up in the hood with the thugs
Then, my family got rich so we moved shit up
I become educated and lookin' up
To prosperous dreams, become an attorney
Ya'll sayin' I've change, like, dope you're a phony
If ya'll think so, you don't know me, homie
We all gotta aim for the top, yo, for sure b
But, alright I'ma let you hate it
I guess I'm just escalated
Yeah, my mind has elevated
Uh, I become educated

When I was a kid I was ignorant, elevate at a slow speed
Developed when I moved, and I got slowed by weed
It's a vicious circle
See, I surprise a dying cycle vice grip
On my mind, my flow next to the Bible, I'm nice
Niggas don't know, 'cause people just can't recognize
That I'm fly, fresher than your momma's best apple pie
To clean the scheme, but nothin' less than the dream
Believe that I'm appear in your hip-hop magazine, for real uh
These kind of beats make me reminisce
'Bout times that I was in the place makin' money, eloquence
Bigger than elephant shit, nigga
My veteran will never leave me hangin' from the rope
Nigga that's relevence
Hangin' on to the game from a tightrope
Gettin' sued by the fans 'cause I gave hip-hop a light grope
Like, grow up you fools, just be thinkin' 'bout your jewels
When we thinkin' 'bout your crews and money like it was cool, nah
Laid back, ya know? (Yeah)

Just go to school man, study and do yo' thing
Don't be another nobody

Stay on your grind, man

Do something with your life, man fuck

You niggas is smarter than that, you know

Rav-I'll

Just keep it real
