[Apache] Yo yo what the fuck is up, I'm not here to preach or teach Or bore yo' little asses with a 30 minute speech Life's a bitch, ten minutes 'til be in court So I'll get to the point, cut the bullshit short Came up in the school of hard knocks, fuck the cops In the back a lot, we graduated from sellin rocks Got into scramblin and gambling's my shit My spot got hot so I stopped packed up and quit I know you can't tell, but momma raised me well She taught, I fought, to escape the fate of a cell It's only one me, what's so fuckin funny? Mommy taught me how to use a Tec to get money Before she died, I cried, she said "Listen son - Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one" Self-survival's job one if you want it Well fuck what you heard - do fa self [Chorus: reggae chatta + yelling children] Whenever the pressure gets ya dowwwn - "I'MA DO FA SELF" And alla ya friends are not ar-round - "I'MA DO FA SELF" Family starts to doubt you - "I'MA DO FA SELF" Dem never give a fuck about you - "I'MA DO FA SELF" "I'MA DO FA SELF" [Apache] Sit back, relax, while I conduct the class Haven't you heard, a hardhead makes a soft ass Sit up straight jailbait pay attention ... or get sent to detention [little kid] + (Apache) Maaan, I'll pay attention if I wanna My fat black ass pay attention to my man on the street corner (WHY IS THAT?)
