作词 : O. Harvey 作曲 : O. Harvey One-fifty-eight lewis avenue Between lafayette and van buren, that was back during The days of hangin on my bed-stuy block With spence and mitch, followin my cousin murdoch All the brothers were real, goin for what they feel By the way, peace to my man sha and big neal Now in ninety-three Im still bein me You think my fridgerator aint full of olde e? huh A lot of times I get fly with a suit and a tie Yeah I went from rags to riches but I still rock the saggy britches And I dont try to act brand new Eatin escargots and usin words like rendezvous The ghetto life Ive seen a lot overcome Make a little money and then forget where they came from Livin a plastic lifestyle, youre more false than dentures Dont make me pull your file -- stop shammin! Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
stop shammin!
Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
stop shammin!
Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
stop shammin! Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
So why you wanna be what youre not? And claim to have things that you know you aint got Youre just a fantasizer -- spendin all your money On lustrous pink oil moisturizer Just to make your hair curly and thin You say, black is beautiful, but then you go and bleach your skin Money youre worse than yacub Cause their are eight stages of graft and you broke down to two Plus you got a bad case of jungle fever And nmmana-nah-nah I just cant believe ya Its quite obvious you dont wanna be a black man So whats next - youre gonna join the klu klux klan? You sold out to your race and its a big disgrace You cant look your own people in the face You wonder why it aint no black schools or hospitals Youre makin millions of dollars and its pitiful That you can donate to leukemia all the time But you cant give the nation of islam a dime They mention muslims, you change the subject You cant even shake farrakhan hand in public That whole busy attitude is a sham Umm bro, umm brother, umm.. brougham, stop shammin Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
stop shammin! Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
stop shammin! Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
stop shammin! Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
Change the groove and funk it up a little bit
I look in the mirror, at times I say, damn black caesar Howd you get to be the woman pleaser? Cause I remember when girls didnt notice me And now they wanna come and talk to me like jodeci Its strange, how back in the days I couldnt get with em Now all of a sudden the honies they wanna give me rhythm Well ima hit it, but still I show no pity So I hope you dont think you gonna be in my next video And many brothers I never even ran with Be actin like they been hangin with me since I was a kid I mean just to get a piece of the action Man they start rememberin more times than michael jackson
But I cant fade to the tag-alongs That want me to drag em on Frontin like a friend just so I can put em in But you cuttin yourself paper thin - stop shammin! Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
stop shammin! Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
stop shammin! Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
yo, stop shammin! Stop, hold-up, pause, wait
and Im out
