Don't Trip - Esham

Once upon a time I was broke and hungry

I told you that before so let me get on with my story

I chill in Detroit on the East side of town

I can remember when niggas screamed «Pony Down!»

Times have changed so I’ve changed with the times

Many didn’t know I was always rocking rhymes

Some bitches was illing

Spilling and spitting out venom

I’m cool and casual so I don’t wear denim

And call me fake

And weak and wack and worthless

Now I’m blocking, dropped this legit

And so I’m fresh, yes

Change your tune, soon you’ll be a fan

And everywhere you go you got my dick in your hand

I used to be fake, that’s what you told your crew

So now when they see me they jock too

Oh…

Let me get it straight

I’m just a joke ya’ll was playing

In fact you really didn’t know what you were saying

And slipping, you’re tripping off my lifestyle

Cause I’m funky fresh cool and never wild

So all ya’ll hoes grab my tip and get a good grip

Before you fix your lip to diss

Don’t trip

You used to tell me like a 40 but you never swallow me

And everywhere I go it seems the rumors would follow me

Said I suck up, setup, and stickup

Ruining my rep hoping yours might pick up

He say, she say, you say I’m fake

Give me a break, what does it take to make

You understand jealousy ain’t hitting

Niggas think they did

But they didn’t cause they’re bullshitting

Hoes on the sidelines reading the headlines

Before I was fake, now I’m they man, they all lyin'

Trying to replace me with rumors and a bad rep

Fuck the rumors

I’m quiet as kept and I step

Calling me broke, saying I’m a joke, and all hope

That they was me so they could see how E living

I’m living swell as hell

Brother can’t you tell

I stay calm and cool

Smooth, will never yell

My mind is worth a million dollars

But I won’t sell it

I’m going to Tell It Like It Is

That’s the only way to tell it

I’m ice, brother

Watch your step, don’t slip

Before you wind up on your ass

Don’t trip

You act like your basing on the real deal

Said the only thing I buy at McDonald’s is a kiddy meal

How you figure

Another pussy ass nigga

Tripping off my fame, yo your name’s Jack tripper

I had to let them know I’m the best in the city, ho

You’re tripping like a man in too drunk video

You said I was faker than a 3 Dollar bill, son

Your mom’s so fake, you got change for 1

Niggas ain’t the only ones tripping

Hoes tripping too

To the fake phony bitches, fuck you

Talking behind my back

Telling your girl what I ain’t got

Telling them how I’m this

And telling them how I’m that

Well tell them how I fucked you

And tell them how you sucked, ooh!

It felt so good bitch you ought to do it again

For the next time ya’ll talking

Ya’ll better not be tripping on me

Cause ya’ll can suck my dick

Don’t T-R-I-P
