lyrics

behooving the youth (feat. dr. dedrick blue)

(Dr. Blue speaks)

as I pen this hit out I'm
posted at the park
wit the lit loud
kickin all the lil kids out
told EM that they need to go home
and do they school work
everybody round here strapped
tryna move work
go read a book or something
prepare to be a doctor
and promise you’ll never consider the block
as a option
cuz it will eat ya up
yeah ya sneakers tuff
but u gotta keep it tucked
cuz dem jackers creepin up
and ya momma dont
wanna see you dead
or jail she won't be sleepin much
dark thoughts keep her up
praying that you keep the faith
and that every night you keep ya butt
imagine homie see her face
she's torn into pieces
she can't even help
swimming thru a pool of tears
might as well compete wit phelps
please young man
make something of ya self
try to be like cornell
if you tryna be great
time to think like a man
like steve harvey would say (hey)

(Dr. Blue speaks)

been down dat road
i made them moves
it's not about just stayin
make them As in school
yeah u starting on the team
but nba ain't finna pay you fool
you must be crazy dude
(repeat)

that's all they told me I was good at
football basketball
drive dish dunks and all
cheerleaders plucked EM off
one by one some of EM was friends
wasn't tripping
I could have any one I want
but the hype got boring
plus I ain't have to study
all my girlfriends did my homework for me
now its time to go to college
and i gotta pick a major
only thing i knew
how to grind and get the paper
first class I skipped was pre cal
been here a week now (i hated math)
I got me some freaks owwww
now i'm in the cut like neo-sporin
sporting foreign clothing
feeling important
and aura new yorkish
hung the jersey up
yeah i fell in love
at the time ain't realize what it was
we broke up
now school on the back burner
found a plug
and i started stacking
off the sack burners

(Dr. Blue speaks)

been down dat road
i made them moves
it's not about just stayin
make them As in school
yeah u starting on the team
but nba ain't finna pay you fool
you must be crazy dude
(repeat)
