| Gramma this one's for you (stay strong) | |
| (chorus) | |
| (he's strong!) | |
| Mama mama mama mama i couldn't say 'no' | |
| (so strong!) | |
| Got sick and tired of seein' brothers being treated ill | |
| (he's strong!) | |
| They say to chill, they say my homey's not available | |
| (stay strong!) | |
| I hear mama they got him working on tha payroll | |
| (she's strong!) | |
| Mama mama mama mama i couldn't say 'no' | |
| (so strong!) | |
| Got sick and tired of seein' sistas being treated ill | |
| (she's strong!) | |
| They say to chill, they say my homegirl's not available | |
| (stay strong!) | |
| I hear mama they got her working on tha payroll | |
| At 21 the brother 'smooth' he got a record deal | |
| Been working hard been writin' songs about the things he feels | |
| He says it's real, 'cause i got bills, but i got skills | |
| My deck is stacked, if i could only get my shit on wax | |
| When it was ripe he took his tape up to the rec execs | |
| They smoked cigars and rolled their eye's at him behind their specs | |
| Your shit is phat but i don't hear it in the format jack | |
| What's all this black crap check page twenty one of your contract | |
| (chorus) | |
| A friend of mine roberta she got a job at the post office | |
| She was college edjamacated but got fired up at the law office | |
| I'm all alone two kids at home, i need a job just any job | |
| So i can get back on my feet like tina 't'(urner) | |
| The boss came up to her said, 'why don't you come home with me' | |
| I'd like to see you take off your clothes for me | |
| She said 'no way man!' | |
| He said 'you don't understand' | |
| 'you lose your life, you lose your job if you don't do this shift!' | |
| (chorus) | |
| I met a black man who became a police officer | |
| Officer, officer, officer, officer, officer, overseer | |
| He tried to tell me it was the only job available | |
| Either rob or join the mob 'cause i'm not salable | |
| One night he went out on an undercover sting-ing | |
| Bought some smack tried to break the heroin ring-ring | |
| Two cops white cops saw juggling goin' down | |
| They spilled his brain like homey the fuckin' clown | |
| (he's gone!) | |
| Mama mama mama mama i couldn't say no | |
| Got sick and tired of seein' people bein' treated ill | |
| Picked up my nines, walked up from behind | |
| Tapped two of them on the neck so i could meet their eyes direct | |
| Pom! pom! | |
| I didn't do it for tha payroll | |
| (chorus) |
