Nick Cannon - Role Model Ft. Talib Kweli Lyrics

Nick Cannon - Role Model Ft. Talib Kweli Lyrics:

we don’t know no doctor no lawyer

lawyers doctors

never thought about college as being a border

daddies and fathers

the streets were our mothers

the blocks out fathers

mark the dollars

see the pimps in the corner

pushing their product

i’ve been pimp pimping since pim pimping

my grandfather did it and his grandfather ..in his van

since plaza .. now we switch and … to their backs

still addicted to the crack although i am not an user

seen a city get trashed like ….

trying to get them dollars like a lot of producers

embedded in my mind we gotta fly some gucci louis

few jewels no thousand dollars shoes

christmas swimming pools and use the music to do it

pimps never tell heir secrets .. the movement

.. automatic swag where we grew up was ruthless

now you try .. instead of picking up a book

we rather look at tv guides idolize white models

with their little white lies all the images of fathers

are just a bunch of white guys

chorus

let me holler dog .. bother for a minute

how you grow up in the hood you’re rich now and never come back again

that ain’t pimp what you think of windows and …

that ain’t him yes it is hello dog where the hell you’ve been?

hood living good living used to run with the big …

got cloud moved out got jumped .. in his business

..heard you said it in the magazine

last week was in amsterdam with that .. queen

exactly what you’re gonna do when folks don’t want you no more

don’t call you no more won’t treat you like a star no more

come back around here dog that’s all i know.. used to hang with you man

..you won’t gonna do a damn thing about it

you came too late and your fame was running out

it was you when .. lose their house

.. found thorugh word of mouth

the word is out you turned your back

you had your back what you’re gonna do now

chorus

these are role models

made the plan in my head and buck it up with the muscle

fuck being the best rapper they are respecting the hustle

i make it clear like a sample lead by example

taking trophy like the head of ….

sending me higher brazilian .. fire

all my .. radio the fm don’t play me

.. black white ration but it’s ok

get busy like a street team in a month release

please nigger try to be the big man and they know that .. the chicks are fan of me

and they can’t stand it running cause the crew .. standard

so remember before you start to stare niggers i am on .. i am gonna ..

chorus
