It's Yo Attitudes

Believe half of what you see, none of what you hear

Stay clear of all them fakes, and watch the friends you make

As I dig in the crates of my mind don't betray

From homies to cronies, on down to females well

Let's reminisce like mary jane

When me and my crew used to run wild everyday

Alot of days I'd be scared, unprepared

But my boys was there, so I didn't care

But that was then, and this is now

I can't be acting wild, I'm tryna make momma proud

So here I stand, a man moving on

Cause ya'll be doing the same dumb shit too long

Lord knows, the o'jays told me

They smile in your face and stab you in the back homie

Only the way you act and the things you do

Make me have the attitude that I have toward you, true

Jealousy and envy is not a friend of me

Matter fact it's a enemy I tend to be quiet

And stay to myself

Do more listening than talking and let them play they self yo

Left alot of broads in the fall back when I was small

They go and show me no love at all

Call me stuby, stuck up, or even rude

But I asked you: Who's got the attitude?

It's your attitude, that's what describes you

Be what you wanna be, do what you gotta do

Now from beginning to ending

I send a message to my kin, folks wherever they go

I be teachin' them 'cause they don't know

About the games people play (aayay), it happens all in a day

Swear your ears to yester years

As I begin to see my peers, convincing me to do the things I feared

Thank God I had the nerve to go another route

I went another route, and now they want me out

I thought that these were my friends to the end

But no friends to the end, cause that friend's always at the end

Bended knees help me when I was in need

Had to say a prayer, to the one upstairs, now I'm finally there

And ya'll don't wanna see me up here

'Cause ya'll can't get from down there

And when ya'll see me now

All you do is stare me up and down

Wishing that you could be in my shoes

But to fill my shoes the individual must pay some dues

I works by day, I works by night

So that one day my little girl can say her daddy kept her real tight

Fight the enemy, giving me problems, I dodged them

Watching for attitudes cause nowadays they robbin'

The mind frame of the simple and plain

I blame society for not having more men like me

And now you waits for my downfall

The attitudes of you, but every man bounces his own ball

It's your attitude, that's what describes you

Be what you wanna be, do what you gotta do
