Stand It - Locksmith, Anesha

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 hits

Now your niggas pressing down the Van Wyck

I know you can’t stand it.

Right?

Anesha:

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.
