De La Souls
guitar chords lyrics
I am POS
I be the new generation of slaves
here to make papes off this land corporation's rape
from that life im tryin to seperate
but i guess im livin dreams
cuz my rent's always a month late
product of a east german black
who kissed the neck of a pretty woman named grace
but he left my life jus a little too soon
didnt see me catch the doomtree fame
as we go a lil somethin like this
look ma
no protection
now i got a baby boy by the name of jake
an i been tryn to play the cowboy to rustle in the dough
no protection
now i got a baby boy by the name of jake
an i been tryn to play the cowboy to rustle in the dough
an i think i been gettin better every passin day
im not an early bird
plus the feathers are black
so by the time i catch an apple
usually its rind
but its a must
to decipher ones girl
from the round sweet apple that are rotton on the inside
i cherish my free time
but i maximize so my soul needs to unwind
i wanna see the stars an be the moon to my son
but im always on the run run run
im fake to all these hard-case kids
i raise a black fist but wont say [nigga] in the things i write
an i don't say [faggot] cuz i don't think its right
i know my boy struggled with that for over half his life
i guess we got our own lives to live, but im stretched too thin
tryin to build a kingdom to rule
an i think to the past sometimes an dag man its bad
see i kinda acted a fool
but i've apologized to the lives i touched wrong
pride to the back move a head to the front strong
but i can safely say
i ain never played a woman
without karma catchin up later on
i tried to walk the right side of the tracks
but i hopped a couple trains
mom would cry if she knew the halfs
but i can stand who i am
an face the day straight
knowin not a thing can change
with me singin:
no one will ever be
like me
no one will ever be
like me
i know im not a bad guy
when i try an do whats right
everyone who comes to me
dont understand or see my plight
everything i ever done
an all the plans i had inside
always missed gone wrong in a way
so i gave up an said all right
so now i do what i can
im alright
stand up like momma raised me
all right
i was dealt from the bottom an pulled a flush
i been livin with my chips all in an im still in see
no one will ever be
like me
no one will ever be
like me
lookin back it seems i always been a step behind
a lil off track feelin no one shared the frame of mind
listen to records in my room to escape
found some things i could relate with an wore out the tape
he said:
when i lose every time i win cuz no one will ever be messin up stuff an doin things wrong quite like me
no one will ever be like me
no one will ever be
like me
