"Role Model" Lyrics - Nick Cannon Ft. Talib Kweli
chorus
we don’t know no doctor no lawyer
lawyers doctors
never thought about college as being a border
daddies and fathers
the streets were our mothers
the blocks out fathers
mark the dollars
see the pimps in the corner
pushing their product
i’ve been pimp pimping since pim pimping
my grandfather did it and his grandfather ..in his van
since plaza .. now we switch and … to their backs
still addicted to the crack although i am not an user
seen a city get trashed like ….
trying to get them dollars like a lot of producers
embedded in my mind we gotta fly some gucci louis
few jewels no thousand dollars shoes
christmas swimming pools and use the music to do it
pimps never tell heir secrets .. the movement
.. automatic swag where we grew up was ruthless
now you try .. instead of picking up a book
we rather look at tv guides idolize white models
with their little white lies all the images of fathers
are just a bunch of white guys
chorus
let me holler dog .. bother for a minute
how you grow up in the hood you’re rich now and never come back again
that ain’t pimp what you think of windows and …
that ain’t him yes it is hello dog where the hell you’ve been?
hood living good living used to run with the big …
got cloud moved out got jumped .. in his business
..heard you said it in the magazine
last week was in amsterdam with that .. queen
exactly what you’re gonna do when folks don’t want you no more
don’t call you no more won’t treat you like a star no more
come back around here dog that’s all i know.. used to hang with you man
..you won’t gonna do a damn thing about it
you came too late and your fame was running out
it was you when .. lose their house
.. found thorugh word of mouth
the word is out you turned your back
you had your back what you’re gonna do now
chorus
these are role models
made the plan in my head and buck it up with the muscle
fuck being the best rapper they are respecting the hustle
i make it clear like a sample lead by example
taking trophy like the head of ….
sending me higher brazilian .. fire
all my .. radio the fm don’t play me
.. black white ration but it’s ok
get busy like a street team in a month release
please nigger try to be the big man and they know that .. the chicks are fan of me
and they can’t stand it running cause the crew .. standard
so remember before you start to stare niggers i am on .. i am gonna ..
