RAPPER: This song is to a teenager
Say whether minor or whether major
When me was young, me never have no teacher
Me do some things, me never know what a-better
But let me tell you something, we can reach further
Say wait a with your friend or wait here no far
Some of them are fake and some are liar
Make no mistake, me say some are user
Some of them a-use manipulation
And some of them a-practice exploitation
It's just one thing when you're a woman
It sometime feel like like ten against one
And let me tell you something, say that's no fun
Say this kind of feelings you can't override
Say from the truth and from the fact, you just can't hide
My flesh and blood, your blood and flesh
Lord above, look how you're fresh
Me out-a here and out-a mind
This request is justified
Check with me, nobody
Mentally, not physically
There's a way, you can-a say
Yes, it's my identity
Check with me, nobody
Mentally, not physically
Check, check
For me!
Just one thing you must contemplate
In everything you do, you want be concentrating
Concentrate on what you need
The things you need, the soul you feed
Take what you want and get what you need
Feel secure then you will succeed
Cos life is short and it can be good
But just remember say you no make out-a wood
Help yourself, you know you should
Say this kind of feelings you can't override
Say from the truth and from the fact, you just can't hide
My flesh and blood, your blood and flesh
Lord above, look how you're fresh
Me out-a here and out-a mind
This request is justified
Check with me, nobody
Mentally, not physically
There's a way, you can-a say
Yes, it's my identity
Check with me, nobody
Mentally, not physically
Check, check
For me!
No use me, abuse me
Excuse me, I'm flesh and blood
I say no use me, abuse me
Excuse me, I'm flesh and blood
You say
You can stop, me say you love machine
Yes you know, just what me mean
I used to act the cherry and the cream
A woman left me just a dream
Me say no use me, abuse me
Excuse me, I'm flesh and blood
Me say no use me, abuse me
I'm flesh and blood
Me flesh and blood, me blood and flesh
Lord above, me say no get too fresh
Me out-a here and me out-a mind
This request is justified
Me say
Check with me, not me body
Mentally, not physically
There's a way, you can-a say
Yes, it's my identity
Me say no use me, abuse me
I'm flesh and blood
Me say no use me, abuse me
I'm flesh and blood
Me say
Flesh and blood, a-ya
Flesh and blood
Flesh and blood, and me no make out-a wood
Flesh and blood, a-ya
Flesh and blood
Flesh and blood, and me no make out-a wood
Me say no use me, abuse me
I'm flesh and blood
Me say
If you don't lose but you no find me quiet
Me have to tell you, say you must have been wrong
I said don't use me
Flesh and blood, a-ya
Flesh and blood
Flesh and blood, and me no make out-a wood
Blood
I'm flesh and blood
I say no use me, abuse me
