David Banner - Swag Lyrics
At some point, whether or not black folksShould use the word or a derivation of the wordEnding in "a" - that's a black conversationAnd white folks, anybody who isn't blackShould stay out of that conversationFor us, there's a history, there's a contextI've heard white people say "we're gonna help emReclaim the word!" if you want to fight racismRaid a police station... Everybody in my city pushing keys and that's all these kids seeThat's the only thing they hear and that'sThe only thing they'll be, we call it: "swag, swag, swag"The homies is busting slugs, the women is shaking assThe white girls call us "nigga" andWe just sit back and laugh and call it "swag, swag, swag"I am no preacher, ***** I'm a teacherMore like a thinker, dreamer, believer-pick oneA thousand albums came out last year and I ain't get oneCause these boys looking like man-tanI make hits like grand samNever had a problem keeping upThese boys songs sound weird as *****I ain't thinking about easing up, I'm going hardTil my lease is up and my time will be peaking upIt's only right that I tell herDon't buy into everything that these rappers are sellingThinking that they winning, but reallyThese niggas failing the peopleAnd feeding evil to the streets that made youRaised you on great food, my mama ain't raised no dummyHer never let a mutha*****a take from me?Hit the game harder than some?Everybody in my city pushing keys and that's all these kids seeThat's the only thing they hear and that'sThe only thing they'll be, we call it: "swag, swag, swag"The homies is busting slugs, the women is shaking assThe white girls call us "nigga" andWe just sit back and laugh and call it "swag, swag, swag"Is anybody on the next level with me?I'm hearing niggas dissing god, y'all think it's wittyI ain't laughing, we don't play in mississippiWhen I was broke, selling my soul wasn't tempting
