0:11All my life been po'
0:13But it really don't matter no mo'
0:16And they wonder why we act this way
0:19Nappy boys gon' be okay
0:22All my life been po'
0:24But it really don't matter no mo'
0:27And they wonder why we act this way
0:30Nappy Roots gon' be okay okay
0:34Came in the game
0:35Plain' ya see
0:36Average man when
0:37The rest was ashamed to be
0:39Nappy head and all
0:41Ain't no changin' me
0:45So rough it was
0:46Downright wrong I tell ya
0:47Nobody never gave us nothin' but
0:49Tough time and made us somethin'
0:51Different stretch of road
0:52New somethin' to see
0:53Every state on the map
0:54A different somethin' to eat
0:56Daps and handshakes
0:57It meant nuttin' for real
0:59Everybody makin' a killin' man
1:00Showin' no feelin's
1:02Walkin' off collectin' pay
1:03It's the way of the world
1:04Can't change it
1:05So I guess I'm gon' pray for the world
1:07Sometimes I ask myself
1:09Was I made for the world
1:10I scream this to you
1:11And I say it to the world
1:13Nappy then Nappy now
1:14Nappy for a bit
1:16Knee-deep head over
1:17Heels in this country
1:18All my life been po'
1:20But it really don't matter no mo'
1:23And they wonder why we act this way
1:26Nappy boys gon' be okay
1:29All my life been po'
1:31But it really don't matter no mo'
1:34And they wonder why we act this way
1:37Nappy Roots gon' be okay okay
1:40Even though I picture better days
1:41I'm thankful for
1:42The chance I got to say amen
1:43The Lord done blessed me with his grace
1:45I wish this day would never end
1:46We represent the slums
1:47Where we from we feel they bump
1:49Polish shot off on these presidents
1:50And hard times they go and come
1:52Some take up off
1:53Without the chance to make it at all
1:54Who woulda thought
1:55Skinny'd be the one that's
1:56Makin' this call
1:57Lord help me out
1:58Tell me where I went wrong
2:00I'm tryna find a righteous path
2:01Although it's never been long
2:03I gotta do it for my sons
2:04They tellin' me daddy be strong
2:05We gon' make it through
2:06These hard times
2:07Even though they go and they come
2:08Ya absolutely right
2:09For somethin' happen
2:10To me on last Tuesday night
2:11It's plain as day
2:12Man they they with this world trade
2:14Now brave any order but confoldure
2:16Better make it home when
2:17Nothin' seems to matter
2:18That's when see
