lirik lagu buu e. radley - when you grow up
[intro: 2pac sample]
you nah mean, listen to the words that people say in they lyrics
and tell me if that’s some real sh~t
if that’s real to you
you know what i mean?
listen to what they saying
don’t just bob your head to the beat
peep the game
and listen to what i’m saying
and hold us accountable for it
[verse 1: buu e. radley]
when you grow up
i hope that you be better than me and my generation
though you’re not too far removed from the plantation
my grandmother picked cotton
not as a slave, but a share cropper
south carolina
history tends to repeat
friendly rеminder
paul mooney says when a n~gga sleeps
that’s whеn he gets sold
stay woke
nas told you bout sleep 28 years ago
don’t be one without faith
who don’t believe without visuals
do be like “hot chocolate”
do believe in miracles
work hard and achieve goals
but don’t forget about the spiritual
life is all about balance
a seesaw full of principles
the president is important
but don’t forget about munic~p~l
what good is who’s in the whitehouse
when your own city give you d~ld~s?
democrats and republicans
two puppets with the same masters
wanna see who’s running them?
find out who’s funding them
money talks like a babymama
if you use a rubber, you can save the drama
if we practice group economics
american blacks can rise to power
this the sh~t they ain’t gon’ teach you on t.v
[verse 2: buu e. radley]
i ain’t always gon’ be here
i hate to say it, and you hate to hear it
but that’s what my mama told me
what my aunts done told me
what grandma done told me
what my dad done told me
“who am i to f~ck tradition up?”
what cam’ron done told me (dipset!)
all we can do for you
is provide guidance while we have breath
when our hourglass hits “e”
a memory is all that’s left
while i’m here, if you have questions
ask away ‘fore i pass away
remember youngin, i’m a black man
i could get old or die today
before i go, just know i love you
and only wanna see the best for you
if i’m gone by the time you hear this
know that i’m watchin’ over you
god is love, and i mean that
if nothing catches, cling to that
every knee will bow
every tongue confess
that christ is lord, and you’ll see that
death and taxes are the only certain (huh?!!)
faith and forgiveness keep you from the serpent (huh?!!)
resist sin, try to live righteous (huh?!!)
when you grow up, be god’s soldier
[outro: buu e. radley]
from the bottom of my heart
signed, sealed, delivered
buu e. radley
to the future generations
ball your right fist up
put it to the sky
your time is now
