Regardless if I'm chillin backstage or on tour With my homie Young Fly even Al B. Sure Never hesitate to call me after I'm done Cause homie I'm real and I'm always true to my loved ones Too many wakes and funerals full of tears You say there's something on your mind well hey I'm all ears Cause ain't nobody thinking about the funk that you're choosin it A lot of my homies stuck in the pen for life for losin it Call up your folks you keep thinkin about home Recorder keeps a peep and there's a block on the phone And all of this is enough to make a brother's nerves bad Reminds me of a sitution that I once had Spent that spent this endless relentless tremendous women on my jock And don't nobody mindin business He say she say throwin salt about it They choose to talk about you cause there's nothing else to talk about Talk about the show and the flow and all the clout Then be real with yourself and talk about and turned it out It's not hard to compete the one whose name is poppin A scary man could never win that's why I stay clockin Sticky like a cactus and I practise with thysta And trippin on these suckas cause I know they ain't tight enough Put 'em on the planel like a stage and they get scared Waitin for a dentral from the fo and I'm well prepared Fools be huffin and puffin don't wanna see me about nothin I'm down And if you ever need me, Fly, I'll be around
Whenever you call me I'll be there (I'll be around) Whenever you want me I'll be there (You know I love you boy) Whenever you need me I'll be there I'll be around
Life ain't based on peaches and cream This new generation holds a whole lot of dreams Future doctors, producers and mothers The list goes on but now we killin our brothers And if we killin our brothers that means we're killin our own kind These kids is watchin now it goes to their mind Rat a tat tat cause you got a gat Then they want a gat - you livin like that? But I'm not surprised just look what's televised You shouldn't take a bullet for a brother to realize We're running the hard heads they're running the hot lay The wizard of death pit I feel that's enough said Enough is enough too much crime building No I'm not a role model but I'm thinking of children They hang out at late night cause they feel that it's right To watch the gun play or a bloody street fight So I'm a be around with the funky rap G I know how it is and hopefully you feel me Cause where I come from we rap the tight beats And if it don't hustle that's the day you don't eat Moms ain't cookin she worked the week straight If anything she's the one that deserves a hot plate The ghetto the ghetto ain't nothin to dream about Tryin to get out now that's somethin to think about Fools might disagree but I'm a stay sucka free Now I'm so black and so strong they can't fade me Blacks are blacks worst enemy there's still no remedy You got me for a grip do you call yourself kin of me? Jealousy envy I see it in your eyes Tell me what's wrong with seeing a black man rise I keep it funky it's pretty hard to miss it now when is it not explicit A message for the mind and the moral of statistics So I'm doin what we call a roll call Callin bout the ones who won't rap then take a downfall I spit the street life and then I go underground You silly it's called versatility and I'll be around
Whenever you call me I'll be there (Yeah I'll be bustes) Whenever you want me I'll be there (Yeah I was down but I'll be around) Whenever you need me I'll be there I'll be around
