Nappy roots po folks lyrics

Awwww.... 

Mmmmm, awww.. 



[Chorus] 

All my life been po' 

But it really don't matter no mo' 

And they wonder why we act this way 

Nappy Boys gon' be okay 

All my life been po' 

But it really don't matter no mo' 

And they wonder why we act this way 

Nappy Roots gon' be okay, okay 



[Big V] 

We came in the game, plain ya see 

Average man when the rest was ashamed to be 

Nappy head and all, ain't no changin me 

Ooooh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh... 

So rough it was, downright wrong I tell ya 

Nobody never gave us nothin but tough time and made us somethin 

Different stretch of road, new somethin to see 

Every state on the map, a different somethin to eat 

Daps and handshakes, it meant nuttin for real 

Everybody makin a killin man, showin no feelins 

Walkin off collectin pay, it's the way of the world 

Can't change it, so I guess I'm gon' pray for the world 

Sometimes I ask myself, was I made for the world? 

I scream this to you, and I say it to the world 

Nappy then, Nappy now - Nappy for a bit 

Knee-deep, head over heels in this country shit! 



[Chorus] 



[Skinny DeVille] 

Even though I picture better days, 

I'm thankful for the chance I got to say amen 

The Lord done blessed me with his grace, I wish this day would never end 

We represent the slums, where we from, we feel they bump 

Polish shot off on these presidents, and hardtimes they go and come 

Some take up off, without the chance, to make it at all 

Who woulda thought Skinny'd be the one that's, makin this call 

Lord, help me out, tell me where I went wrong 

I'm tryna find a righteous path, although it's, never been long 

I gotta do it for my sons, they tellin me, "
