Cornbread Eddie Me lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Cornbread, Eddie & Me lyrics [Aceyalone] Aiyyo the police shot Cornbread in the street And they just killed Cochise over a beef Ah man, I m just a brother whose intentions are good Oh lord, please don t let me be misunderstood I gotta 10 fifty-fo under the hood Several stages of lifespan, damned if I would be a dope when it s not a laughin matter Modern contemporary man still hunt and gather data They want glamour, the priceless prize Give em a torch and they put the fire to your eyes Give em a inch they take a yard and they pull your card Throw a wrench so far in yours it ll leave a scar Raise the bar, I pass it with the right scholastics They made it plastic, that s why they couldn t grasp it I always knew that you would fail me Once shame on me twice you shouldn t have to tell me And I ll be damned if I ll let you get away with that I just ain t playin that, that s that bullshit! Jardine and the kids tryin to make ends meet Half dead and do dirty as some God damn thiefs Yo - hold your head up, you only got your life left Make the right step and don t sing the wrong song Fight somebody your own damn size You dead wrong, thinkin you won t meet yo demise This baby here, gon grow up to be a king I don t know how you seein things, but that s a fact It ll be over my dead body if I let you put a mother{fuckin} monkey on his back Shit ain t changed, it s just the choices The voices in your head sayin do what you don t gotta do They scared of themselves which means that they scared of me And them the same, punk-ass fools that shot at you The lord giveth and he taketh away God bless that I can live to see another day And if I had it my way I d hang you all by the neck Have some respect, I ll serve and protect Aiyyo the police short Cornbread in the street And they just killed Cochise over a beef And if my teachers could see you now They ll take your head, cause you probably wouldn t even bow You ain t humble, you mumble jumble Your tower of so-called power ll crumble You killed my uncle, put a dagger through my brother s heart I need another start, cause if I knew then what I know now, it ll be wild Booyaka! Booyaka! I ll put you in the ground A peaceful man ain t got no place here I guess you wanna see em all die with the lambs I face fear everyday til the space is clear Then I fight em like a man cause it s what I am Somebody told me the road to freedom is lonely but I swear I ain t goin on my own I m takin my sisters, my families, my homies Now I m about to take this mother(fucker) home Aiyyo the police short Cornbread in the street And they just killed Cochise over a beef Jardine and the kids tryin to make ends meet Half dead and do dirty as some God damn thiefs song lyrics
