lirik lagu capital tax - givin' it back
[intro]
oh yeah
come check it out
[verse 1]
young in darkness, and who would ever thought this
juvenile mc would ever turn (yeah) out to be
more than what i was ’cause wouldn’t take nothin’ less
“strive for the best,” moms used to stress
every single day and i respected that
she was on my team and like never neglected
the youngest of the bunch with a hunch to be
an entertainer in the industry
to clock crazy dollars with the intent to get
my family out the ghetto where our whole lives were spent
scratchin’ and scr~pin’ and thinkin’ about the worst that could happen
but then i started rappin’
(ayo) what a way to go, i know
it’s like my outlet from poverty, but bet i won’t forget
where it all came from (yeah)
so i’m givin’ it back ’cause some don’t do that
[chorus]
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
remember where you came from
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
’cause some don’t do that
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
’cause some don’t do that
[verse 2]
check it, remember where you came from, people always told ya
so don’t sell your soul when you go gold
i suppose when you clock g’s or a million
the feelin’ is great
but most if the time, brothers think they can’t take the fall of a flop
give the public slop (uh), watch your cells drop
ayo, with your fatheads ’cause you sold a bunch of copies
new cars and things, now your attitude is sn0bby
never slidin’ through the old city that you’re from (man)
you claim it’s dumb, but take time and come
pay a little visit to the kids at the center
have lunch or dinner, and let ’em know to be a winner
’cause it ain’t about how much dough you’re bringin’ in
if you like forgot where you from and what you been
through, so here’s a little clue and don’t forget it, ayo
[chorus]
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
remember where you came from
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
’cause some don’t do that
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
remember where you came from
givin’ it back, yeah
’cause some don’t do that
[break]
yeah
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
oh yeah
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
oh, oh
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
yeah
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
[verse 3]
ayo, always stay the same, no time for ego trips
’cause you’ve finally made it and girls be on your tip
now that’s fine and dandy, i guess that’s how it is in this biz
but never forget your real friends
who’s been there, but now you’re in there, i wish you well
but it’s not cool to forget where you used to dwell
in the same old gang infested drug streets
but now to mr. big, all that sh~t’s obsolete
and you be tryna fool the kids by bein’ plastic
frontin’ like ya all of that, you’re bound to get your ass kicked (quick)
you can’t come back to what you once knew
some don’t respect you ’cause you refuse to
spend a little time in the community
formin’ some unity and, like you said, you were soon to be
out on your own livin’ fat up out the old shack
remember where you came from
[chorus]
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
remember where you came from
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
’cause some don’t do that
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, givin’ it back
remember where you came from
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
’cause some don’t do that
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
remember where you came from
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back
’cause some don’t do that
givin’ it back, i’m givin’ it back, givin’ it back
remember where you came from
i’m givin’ it back
’cause some don’t do that
[outro]
i’m givin’ it back
i’m givin’ it back
uh
