De La Soul - Beef lyrics

[unknown guest poet:]

Nah that's not what I mean

I mean, every mornin I wake up and I give thanks

Y'know, that I get dressed up and rob banks

I don't need a mask, I ain't askin for favors

Everybody got it rough

If you were the only one who had it bad

then there would be a cause for effect, you hear me?

It's easy to live after the world's opinion

It's easy to live accordin to your own

And when she don't got love for you, man

She's like a loaf of bread with nuttin to drink

Goin down hard, that's word up

She'll tear anything up for you

Shit is rough but it's fair man, ain't a joke out here

Niggaz been doin good for a long time

but now the game has changed, y'knahmsayin?

We just came home, now we got BEEF~!
