Don't Say Dat

Dem boys crazy!

Chorus Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat.

Fighting anonymity can give you Billie Holidays When I think of all the ways I coulda strayed I’m amazed at the grace given by the Maker Make your homie make a face Like a fart grazed a hostile nostril With that kind a bass on some MCADE That’s the of stank Boone bring For the sort of gourd that knows what I mean Amped, you think I fed a mean, madman…amphetamines But I get at it instead of dream Slow down and take in the scene Reality is so extreme Your mental is their new scheme The younger the real estate the better the big dream The future is elusive; we’re all scared of the same thing. But history’s gonna be made with or without me, them, him and those standing on my tippy toes in my dirty hippy clothes lookin’ for which way to go to break the mold flunky every college I enrolled no control remotely Kinda the same, but I’m old.

Chorus

Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat.

Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat.

Danny Alexander might be completely out of his mental Knew a dog or two growing up that did time in the kennel Been through more scrapes than a bow on a fiddle Violins left right middle and life is brittle. Like fair food falafel ‘bout my high f lutin’ attempts High post ain’t Boone and I can’t pretend that it is. I’m past a few bad moves and busted several A young MC learned a slew, I was Mr. Magoo to the fact I knew nada Luckily it worked out sweeter than Horchata Respect the forefathers and watch for the hornswogglers

Chorus

Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat.

Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat.

Off top, I know I’m dope; can’t tell me otherwise. That’s just how it is, but we all seek through other eyes. Simple, biased opinions compete to make us look surprised. We rank the shock value and the Hallmark card hopin’ we win the prize. There is ratings in the “build ‘em up, tear ‘em down and then sympathize. And when they die, pretend to empathize.” That’s three ways to monetize. I get tired of watching young cats die to get Tupacified. And they theorize your demise, sell it as prophesied. Tell me I’ve lost my mind and crossed the line. Apologize only if what’s documented is falsified. At the risk of being ostracized, Shawn Kemp, nuts in your face posterized.

Chorus

Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat.

Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat.

Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat.

Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat. Don’t say dat.
