Native Son

Oooh
 Oh yeah, oh (yeah)
 Talk to me, y'all
 Let's hit it
 Silently, gon' tip toe around you
 Silently, I walk past your mama's door
 Silently, only trick my absent father
 Talk to me as you walked on out the door
 Violently, I spent my youth routinely
 Violently, innocence was torn away
 Violently, I suppressed all I was feelin'
 Finally, man took me away
 I've been steppin' lightly through it all
 Never hearin' anybody's call, yeah (that's real)
 I've been steppin' lightly through it all (keep it moving family)
 Alright
 Never hearing anybody's call, yeah (that shit is official)
 All night I got to sing, yeah (they need some food, love)
 I got you kid
 Yo, nothin' to lose, mentality is beastly
 Raised amongst the most ferocious, life wasn't easy
 Slingin' them stones, bangin' 'em toes 'cuz nobody cares
 Neither did I 'cause my father left me to fry
 In this hell of a world with stray bullets to snipe you
 Generals look for soldiers with heart so they can stripe you
 Dirty dope fiends that's evil, they got the needle twitch
 Veins are polluted, they zoomed in, dozin' off of that fix
 Matilda' nephew Lovell, he turned states on this kingpin kid
 A couple of months back
 She ain't seen him since
 I guess he caught a bad deal
 He grew up to follow the code
 But once that code is broken
 That's the end
 Good riddance
 Them killers, they came and pinched him
 They stopped his cash flow
 No ifs, ands, or buts, gotta go
 He got what he deserved
 If it was me I would have clipped his whole family
 Understand me? (That's real son)
 I've been steppin' lightly through it all
 Never hearin' anybody's call, yeah
 I've been steppin' lightly through it all, yeah (smooth as one lane)
 Never hearing anybody's call, yeah
 (Ey yo Chef, what's up my nigga?)
 Life is a hussle, the struggle is all real
 When there's nothin' in the kitchen to eat you gotta kill
 Am I wrong for that? My family gotta eat by any means
 Which means if I got a spray this machine
 And body-bag somthin'
 Toe-tag somethin'
 Creep thru the hood silently
 And spaz on 'em, without a warning
 It's like that, my rank is official
 Pearl-handed pistols
 I'm serious business
 And strictly, who got an issue?
 I need that duffle bag action
 So I could transform the poverty ways into the main attraction
 But yo, life will throw you all kinds of situations
 It's a full time job tryna' to dodge incarceration
 Blow somethin' heavy, keep my thoughts circulating
 'Cause what I'm contemplating, is really premeditated redrum
 Don't blame me for my actions, blame my environment
 That I'm a product of owning my 8-0 lights
 Come inside with me, you hear me
 My innocence was snatched early
 So fear don't live here
 Word to a law, shine pearly
 All I got is my word and pride
 And who swallow that for nothin'?
 So take it in blood, end of discussion
 Trust me
