Lyrics 1997 - Kham

1997 God gave mama a legend Preacher said that I was destined pay attention to the reverend
Taking heed to the signs not to cool with dotted lines probably why the young boy still independent
I been on a mission tryna give em something new
Check my reputation what I say is what I do
When it all falls apart and ppl start acting new
My God is the only One that'll stay true
Rappers claim they hot better check on the degrees
In the club throwing Gs but your bars like the tundra
They dancing with lucy and flirting with karma
Grind like my dad work hard like my mama
I aint never played I ain't one for the drama
Comma
With or without commas
Im the same dude tryna grind with my partnas
Woo

Bet they don't it like this
Bet they don't do it like this
Stay down stay true like this
Man up take a stand like this
Yelling Gods truth like this
Mama raised a gentlemen like this
Hood scholar educated like this
Nah man they don't do it like, do it

Never let my future be written by my past
I live in the moment cause the present is a gift
Put in work day to day make dreams realities promise young boy imma get it how I live
Mamba mentality I know they doubting me but I will never be something Im not
Im tryna last not to fond of the Jezebels man they be moving to fast
I like my girls like my documents (saved)
I say what i must with confidence (brave)
Won't be governed by the politics (slave)
They know exactly what time is
I know tricks of the trade
Many enslaved
Ain't nothing changed but the date
Leaving this earth all in chains
A shameless plug for your brain
There's freedom in Jesus' name

Bet they don't it like this
Bet they don't do it like this
Stay down stay true like this
Man up take a stand like this
Yelling Gods truth like this
Mama raised a gentlemen like this
Hood scholar educated like this
Nah man they don't do it like, do it
