Consequence, A Tribe Called Quest - Whateva Will Be lyrics

Girl, this motherfucker's got rhythm

Say am I 'posed to be dead
Or doin' life in prison?
Just another dummy caught up in the system
Unruly hooligan who belongs in Spofford
Verse getting that degree at
Stanford or Harvard
Threatened by my work ethic, the way I speak
Yo should I be mentally weak
Verse being Malik? Yo
Should I be trapped in the
Trap? Would you prefer that?
Fourth grade reading level but he
Knows how to rap
Are you amused by our struggles?
The English that's broken?
The weed that I'm smokin'? The
Guns that I'm totin'?
The drugs that I'm sellin'?
No need for improvement
Fuck you and who you think I should be
Forward movement

Melanated shrouded in complexity
Brain charge shocking like 'lectricity
Mouth translate happens organically
The media relates it what it thinks it sees
Judging steps in shoes of a
Path they never walked
Shot down in a blaze of a
Phrases is how they talk dark skinned
Walk with a bot portrayed villain
I'm chillin'
Felon down to the DNA crime willin'
Subliminate their youth
Hyper-sexualize their women
They ain't got the strong enough hold
So they built the prisons
Pumping false religions to all
Of these niggas' systems
Every voice devoid of the truth
Come on, listen

Man look at this, man look at this
Whatever will be will be
Like a billionaire investin' in
A nigga's dreams
Certainly a head scratcher
Like Pac and Big's killers' capture
Or a women with the wisdom
Who's leadin' the way
The rarity is in the rear, but never today
Man, picture a PD lettin' good records play
On the strength of what it is
Not the finesse of your biz
And your lady calls you dirty
Her dirts under rugs
You'll find out only if she tells
You, take her kiss and hug, cuz
In the answer for cancer in
A prodigious kid's mind
Yes, the government will fund
Learning is free for everyone
And from that lie, young leaders will rise
In the eyes of despair and adversity
In some universe, this verse will be true
Everybody runnin' when they see
The storm's comin'
But whatever's gonna be will be
Everybody runnin' when they see
The storm's comin'
But whatever's gonna be will be
Some will dash to the mountain
Some will crawl
And the weakest amongst them, they will fall
But the strongest in faith
They will stand tall
Everybody runnin' when they see
The storm's comin'
But whatever's gonna be will be

I just wanna feel as liberated
As lions in Liberia
'Cause recently my heart turned
Cold as Siberia 'Cause everywhere I go
Bein' cold is the criteria
Let's see how well you know
All your Tribe trivia
Green and the white, we servin' that Nigeria
North side of Queens
One-nine-two is the area
This is for my dawgs from
Shih Tzus to Terriers
Fuck it, it's showtime, Tip
Make sure they hearing you
