De La Souls - P.O.S[00:00:01]
I am P.O.S[00:00:10]
I be the new generation of slaves[00:00:11]
Here to make papes off this land corporations rape[00:00:13]
From that life I'm tryin' to separate[00:00:16]
But I guess I'm livin' dreams[00:00:18]
Cause my rent's always a month late[00:00:19]
Product of an East German Black[00:00:21]
Who kissed the neck, of a pretty woman named Grace[00:00:23]
But he left my life just a little too soon[00:00:26]
Didn't see me catch the Doomtree fame[00:00:28]
As we go a little something like this[00:00:30]
Look mom, no protection,[00:00:32]
Now I got a baby boy by the name of Jake[00:00:33]
And I been trying to play the cowboy[00:00:36]
To rustle in the dough[00:00:37]
When I think I'm getting' better every passin' day[00:00:39]
I'm not an early bird, plus the feathers' all black[00:00:41]
So by the time I catch an apple, usually it's rind[00:00:44]
But it's a must to decipher one's girl[00:00:46]
From the round, sweet apples[00:00:48]
That are rotten on the inside[00:00:49]
I cherish my free time[00:00:51]
But I maximize, so my soul needs to unwind[00:00:53]
I wanna see the stars be the moon to my sun[00:00:57]
(But I'm always on the run, run, run)[00:00:59]
I'm fake to all these hard-case kids[00:01:02]
I raise a black fist[00:01:03]
But won't say *nigga* in the things I write[00:01:04]
And I don't say *faggot* cause I don't think it's right[00:01:06]
I know my boy will struggle with that[00:01:09]
For over half his life[00:01:10]
I guess we got our own lives to live[00:01:12]
But I'm stretched too thin,[00:01:13]
Tryin' to build a kingdom to rule[00:01:15]
And I think to the past sometimes[00:01:16]
And dag man, it's bad,[00:01:18]
See I kinda acted like a fool[00:01:20]
But I've apologized to the lives[00:01:22]
That I've touched wrong[00:01:23]
Pride to the back, move ahead strong[00:01:24]
But I can safely say:[00:01:27]
I've never played a woman[00:01:28]
Without karma catchin' up later on[00:01:29]
I try to walk the right side of the tracks[00:01:32]
But I've hopped a couple trains,[00:01:34]
Mom would cry if she knew the haps[00:01:35]
But I can stand who I am and face the day straight[00:01:36]
Knowin' not a thing can change when our beat singin'[00:01:39]
No one will ever be, like me[00:01:41]
No one will ever be, like me[00:01:47]
I know I'm not a bad guy,[00:01:51]
But when I try to do what's right[00:01:53]
Everyone who comes to me don't understand[00:01:54]
Or see my plight[00:01:56]
Everything I've ever done,[00:01:57]
And all the plans I've had inside[00:01:57]
I was Mr. Gone Wrong in way,[00:01:59]
So I gave up and said[00:02:00]
(Alright)[00:02:02]
So now I do what I can, I'm[00:02:03]
(Alright)[00:02:04]
Stand up like Mama raised me[00:02:05]
(Alright)[00:02:06]
I was dealt from the bottom[00:02:07]
And pulled a flush[00:02:09]
I've been living with my chips all in[00:02:09]
And I'm still in, see[00:02:11]
No one will ever be, like me[00:02:12]
No one will ever be, like me[00:02:17]
I am P.O.S[00:02:32]
I be the new generation of slaves[00:02:33]
Here to make papes off this land corporations rape[00:02:35]
From that life I'm tryin' to separate[00:02:38]
But I guess I'm livin' dreams[00:02:39]
Cause my rent's always a month late[00:02:41]
And lookin' back it seems[00:02:42]
I've always been a step behind[00:02:44]
Little off-track and feelin' no one shared the frame of mind[00:02:45]
Listenin' to records in my room to escape[00:02:47]
Found some things I could relate with,[00:02:50]
I wore out the tape[00:02:51]
We said[00:02:52]
When I lose, every time I win, cause[00:02:53]
No one will ever be[00:02:55]
Messin' up stuff or doin' things wrong[00:02:58]
Quite like me[00:03:01]
No one will ever be, like me[00:03:03]
No one will ever be, like me[00:03:08]
No one will ever be, like me[00:03:13]
No one will ever be, like me[00:03:18]
