Ugh Yeah, yeah, yeah Uh-huh, Yeah The other day I saw a spider on my wall I watched it crawl to the ceiling Thought to myself Being small looked appealing No billing receipts Just chilling and sleeping Resting on the windowsill M, creeping (ah) But see the problem is, Policy and politics Always play a role no matter where you go or how you live Some play the cut Some climb Other's reclining Summer time None of us outside when sun is shining Come out at night you'll see what we talking about Niggas spitting that finesse with flies all in they mouth Be quiet as a mouse The moment that we hear one step If you not light on your feet You might get crushed next Lucky to make it to a day The way the murder rate was Them people come We getting sprayed They might exterminate us Wonder if hate is in their heart, or is it taught? Then a daddy long leg dropped game between a cough Ahem, Ahem Listen, by spinning the web You could ditch these conditions and be winning instead Told me tall tales of niggas who fled Never saw them again Said they just busy or I ain't visit him yet Type of shit that had me Itchin' my head Conflicted in bed Rolled a spliff look like I twisted a dread (ugh) Before I knew it I was stitching a thread Only God could predict where it lead And so I Ease on down the Silk Road Strutting like a pimp Better give me what I'm owed Welcome to the big city Hit the kitchen where all the milk flows Niggas swimming in a bowl of Cheerio's I froze Was bitten by a mosquito Don't mean to be a pest But this is only the beginning Come and see the rest An hour later Had a corner by the fridge Threw a flick up for the fleas Show the homies how I live And now I kick it with the Beatles on the nightly I wonder why it ain't too many out here like me They must lazy Either that or want a hand out I got like eight Still ain't even invite the fam out Business is booming There's rumors I'll expand out Visions of moving Like humans through this damn house I'm hearing crickets They hate, cause they can't speak the language Said "boy you buggin', You'll be lucky if they leave you hanging" The next morning Heard pots and pans clattering A gut curdling scream The fine china A finger pointed at me There were tears in her eyes In that moment realized What we fear we despise They say the rise of a king always doubles the fall Either pen or the sword It's just luck of the draw And the cards that we dealt wasn't shuffled at all Man it's a wild goose chase Got me ducking the law I looked back to my hood before I could reconsider Ended up under somebody big momma house slipper A gust of wind I shiver from the cold Then I woke up to a tickle on my shoulder I must be buggin', gotta be buggin' buggin' out I must be buggin', gotta be buggin' buggin' out You buggin' out yo, yo, yo You buggin' out yo, yo, yo When we was at Motown After rehearsal Everybody went out to eat Barry Gordy said "Everybody's going bowling" We sisters came from Monongahela Pennsylvania There was one bowling alley Blacks were not allowed Didn't know what to do We had never been inside of a bowling alley before My mother always taught us "If you don't know what to do, be a good listener"
