OK, I can see you held it down and learnt patience,
|
Cause some reasons are without their explanations,
|
This is my song so let me explain the situation,
|
But wont air your business out girl, cause that¡¯s a bait ting,
|
I seen you at the station like its work your going,
|
Money have fe mek so just keep doing what you¡¯re doing,
|
It¡¯s crazy cause together we could have made g¡¯s,
|
Cause I did and truthfully you bright like me,
|
The only real difference is you slyer than me,
|
Your need for attention makes you attract the beef,
|
Ironically I use to say you were a bad cow,
|
You a funny little girl with a funny little style,
|
I know you heard the truth I know you read between the lines,
|
I might circle the truth but I will not tell a lie,
|
I remember the time I came your yard with a knife,
|
I don¡¯t wanna tek life but I would of tek life,
|
But im bigger than that now I can walk from a row,
|
My days on road has shown me life is like gold,
|
And plus this world is big enough for us both,
|
I know you was down I also know that you coped,
|
I hope that mean you learnt to slow your roll,
|
And keep your mouth closed,
|
A proper attitude is better than fancy close,
|
So as the chapter close that¡¯s how the story goes,
|
As I¡¯ve grown I¡¯ve learnt that friends turn to foes.
|
|
CHORUS
|
I heard you got your yard now
|
Fully grown now
|
It¡¯s not an armshouse
|
Cause I ovastand
|
Ovastanding is the key key
|
Ovastanding is the key key
|
I heard you got your car now
|
I seen you round town
|
It¡¯s not a armshouse
|
Cause I ovastand
|
Ovastanding is the key key,
|
Ovastanding is the key key
|
|
BRIDGE
|
I don¡¯t really care what you feel like
|
I aint got no time to waste on you
|
I don¡¯t really care what you wanna say
|
You can keep talking till your blue in the tooth
|
|
I¡¯m getting older now starting to make sense of it,
|
Seeing the signs reading minds like hypnotist,
|
Understand the figures like arithmetics and my guess is,
|
People are bad mind,
|
Insecurity breads hate it¡¯s a fact find,
|
In fact im sure it¡¯s incurable,
|
Some people positive while some people are negative and totally oblivious to the harm they cause,
|
For every Malcom X there is a president bush,
|
For every ambitious soul, there¡¯s a coach potato,
|
Real said turn off the arcade man the games over,
|
This is the takeover taking the haters over,
|
Maybe if they had something else to do they wouldn¡¯t watch you,
|
Too busy with they bizz but now with kids having kids it¡¯s gonna get worse than this,
|
Only just realising what mama said,
|
By the sweat of mans brow he shall eat bread,
|
Stay focused on your path like a vegan dread,
|
And remember they hate to see you smile,
|
Your unique style, your everything there not,
|
If you sitting in a room with darkness and the lights come on
|
You¡¯d have to cover your eyes, overstand the lines,
|
Check the paragraphs speaking in parables,
|
Call this the manual for caging animals the haters.
