Lemme Tell You Bout It - Nappy Roots

Wake up in the morning feeling good

Takin' care of business like I should

We don’t talk about it, we just do it

'Til all my people make it out the woods

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Winchester been good to me

Something bout them Maryland woods just do it for me

Don’t fade away don’t fade my homie

I was destined for the grave fo you came my homie

I gotta chance to glance thru Montana

I told Rello they’ll never understand your gramma

Sometimes you gotta just leave to succeed in life

Smoke a lil weed, enjoy the breeze and just ease thru life

Pops told me To watch the people I’m hanging with

They seem cool but a crew of fools is dangerous dangerous

Riding thru Idaho gave me another view point

We gotta arrested but they only found bout two joints

Most of my friends have never been to salt lake

They a lil different, but that could be said for all states

I couldn’t get drunk no matter how many beers I drank

Times have changed I miss you and hope you’re all safe

Wake up in the morning feeling good

Takin' care of business like I should

We don’t talk about it, we just do it

'Til all my people make it out the woods

'Fore Dr. King was a grown man

A white boy was his best friend

Just kids having fun back then

Shit was cool till the grownups stepped in

And they pointed out their differences like «no offense»

Sounds ridiculous shit don’t make no sense

The World got you thinking that you’re less than

Got u feeling uncomfortable in your own skin

But turning the other cheek made a strong chin

And plenty character got built like a home gym

You’re gon' bend, just don’t break

Till we break them chains of racism round our bone shins

Quit observing history through a fogged lens

Like them Jim Crow Laws wasn’t a whole trend

Like life is in black and white, and it won’t blend

Riding in a black &white Benz er’day I

Wake up in the morning feeling good

Takin' care of business like we should

We don’t talk about it, we just do it

'Til all my people make it out the woods

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Black lives never mattered in America

This country don’t judge you by the content of your character

The color of my skin causes mass hysteria

That’s the reason why they target urban areas

Cause in they eyes I’m guilty till proven innocent

Don’t care if you a law biding, tax paying citizen

It ain’t about justice, it’s all about the Benjamins

That’s why they over policing and over sentencing

They throw the book at you hit you in the mouth

No mercy from the court, no benefit of the doubt

One false move, they whipping them pistols out

Just thank the lord I made it to the house

So tomorrow I can

Wake up in the morning feeling good

Takin' care of business like I should

We don’t talk about it, we just do it

'Til all my people make it out the woods

Back when Master P was bout it bout it

I was a nappy headed kid, wandering round without my future routed

Off the beaten path, I traveled when they laughed and doubted

Now the trail is overcrowded, might as well just go around it

Make a new plan, if anybody you can

Tie up all them loose ends and drop the dead weight around me

Now I’m floating like a butterfly

Shoulda, coulda, what if I

Never gave a fuck if they ever doubted

That SH!

T is beautiful, proudly from the mount I shouted

Times change, people not so much, unless their soul allows it

So I searched within, looking in the mirror grinned

Told myself that I would win, went outside and took the challenge

Wake up in the morning feeling good

Takin' care of business like I should

We don’t talk about it, we just do it

'Til all my people make it out the woods

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it

Lemme tell you 'bout it
