lirik lagu princeton marcellis - silly
straight through, yeah
i don’t control the cards of life but still living like it’s golden
see i’ve learned when to hold em
and i’ve learned when to fold em
learn who to trust cuz they’ll take all ya got
pay attention to character and watch out for the plot
just a young black male, old man wisdom
tryna dodge prison, those that didn’t yeah we miss em
got cops k!lling blacks
and whites k!lling blacks
and blacks k!lling blacks
tell me how you deal with that?
they judge a brother something like the cover of a book
they suspect i’m a crook based on the way i look
way too many homies daily heading to the big pen
them cats coming out worse than when they came in
tears spill on the page
there’s no peace when you’re released to the streets
just to peep that you still in a cage
sometimes i think that it’ll never get better
they suppress our pain while we seek justice from the folk who oppress us
i believed in you
thought what you said was true
it didn’t occur to me
it was a lie
haha haaa
silly, silly wasn’t i?
i remember i remember your stare, those eyes, i
love it when you look at me baby
your lips, your smile, i
love it when you kiss me baby
i feel in love with a woman
her name was sallie mae
she promised me financial aid
graduate and get paid
years later i’ma slave
so much for democracy for my brothas with degrees
what does the flag do for me?
my ppl built this country and we did it all for free
how the homie selling weight and he making more than me?
i was straight in them classes and them books at unt
get in the real world they want me to break do you agree?
so tell me mr. flashlight cop what do you see?
a hard working black male or a thug pedigree?
what if im a little of both, could it be possibly
sallie mae ain’t feeling me she stole my cake and lied to me
i believed in you
thought what you said was true
it didn’t occur to me
it was a lie
haha haaa
silly, silly wasn’t i?
i believed in you
thought what you said was true
it didn’t occur to me
it was a lie
haha haaa
silly, silly wasn’t i?
