pops - nick swain lyrics

my pops said you gotta take the good with the bad/had to run and ditch the hood just to get to cl-ss/i been poor, been paid, been well off/on an angel’s payroll cause i seen what h-ll costs/pull them pants up boy you ain’t made it yet/long as i’m paying them bills, then you gon pay respect/and don’t be quick to dime a n-gg-, he might find a n-gg-/who gon find some triggers, then you’ll be the one we find disfigured/cause life gets real, these streets get hungry/don’t pay attention if they saying that you came from monkeys/you know god ain’t need to copy off no animal/to give you drive to life and take your life where no other man’ll go/your the seed of a tallah-ssee rose/who climbed out the concrete conned streets, back to pave the road/so when you ride smooth, know i did it for you/how happy my son is; that’s all i really wanted

i’m just stunting like my daddy, stuntin like my daddy x4
and we good (low key, got it from my og) x4

my pops said make sure your conscience good/you got a message then tell it until its understood/don’t let em get it twisted, make it straight for em/and you can’t leave em hanging, you gotta wait for em/don’t let em see you cry, never be ashamed to die/if they’re still blind to the fact, hit em right between the eyes/avoid the mediocre, simple, popular and basic/when they disrespect you cpm back and just respond with greatness/yeah, just respond with greatness/it ain’t worth it if its easy struggle takes patience/you ain’t jesus, you ain’t jesus but what would he do/don’t ever be something you’re not, maintain swain/lead by example, you still got little sisters watching/and old heads wanna jam too, so keep em nodding/if you can reach multiple generations with them rhymings/when you clock out, your work’ll be timeless

and we good (low key, got it from my og) x4

you’re a young black male: all 3 can get you k!lled/and life leaves battles wounds not even jesus heals/keep that future in sight, don’t lose your life cause you ain;t have a plan b; hustle hard for the family/my pops taught me more through actions then his words could speak/embrace a difference: its not weird, its your unique/a one man band sitting on the answers/always knew to play the cool pink panther so/here i am living with constant quizzing, he’s learning me all these lessons/radio hotline, calling in with a question/he say the girls of this world are a blessing/but if she do you dirty there’s always her best friend/late night rides and old jazz tunes/clippers running through my naps in the bathroom/what you doing with all these roaches up in my truck/that hair on your b-lls don’t mean you’re done growing up/big pimpin yeah right i used to carry you/and laugh all you want, some day you’ll be married too/you helped a n-gg- 22 years through the ups and downs/you ain’t have to do it, but i’m glad you stuck around

i love you pops!
