Lyrics Malcolm West - Malcolm Nash

You can call me
Malcolm West man
Never been
A yes man

I've always been a freshman
With seniority perspectives

I'm trying out electives
Trying not to be selective

I guess it's true about what they say
When your circle reflects
On all your blessings

No one ever test us
Cause we well known
Like DHS

I'm likely to pull up to the scene
To you
I look overdressed

I'm always giving it my all
So don't expect nothing less

Parents grinding
So I'm grinding
So they won't have to stress

I had to stand my ground
Cause when you nice
They try walk over you

I'm like Iron Man
My suit of armor
Is my ego

Ain't never had to struggle
I thank the Lord
Every morning

I've always kept a good record
So my name don't get tarnished

Either way
Whatever you say
Won't change my progress
Regardless

I always keep the good vibes flowing
Call me the life of the party

I'm always on point with the task
But off the green I'm uncharted

Never moving lethargic
I rarely share much in common

With you fools

Y'all got the blues
Out here giving out clues

Closed mouths don't get fed
So just speak up what's true

We all have own way
To cope with things that we do

You gotta want it as much Jordan
When he played with flu

Yeah man

Whatever you want in life

You just gotta grind for it

You gotta strive for it
Stand in long lines for it
Hell die for it

Sacrifices made every day

Hell I done cried for it
Like Cyborg

A human computer
I look ahead in the future
& what I see
Is my homies standing next to me

Popping bottles
Smoking weed
Spreading love
Is all we seek

Different ways to make this cheese
A boss so I do what I please

Different women loving me
A shepherd herding all you sheep

I've been awake since bout 03
That's way before Lebron was King

Putting on for my whole team
So we can all sit down & feast

Bond is thicker than our blood
& hair gel that they used in Grease

3rd eye always open
So I see the ones that like to leech

I always keep it real
Cause I was told to practice what I preach

I drop to my knees

Pray to the Lord
To keep a watch over me

Pray for the ones
Who I lost in the streets

Pray for the ones
Who be hating on the kid
Cause I'm awesome see

I don't beef

Life to short
Whatcha mean

Tides gone turn
& you'll see

I ain't gone stop

While y'all stuck in them Lil boats
I'll be chilling in a yacht

So when I said that
This what I meant

Y'all closed minded
So you always stand alone
In the end

If you would open up your mind
& see the life that we live

You'll see your life begin the change
Like your friends in the end
