Old niggas

Lyrics

Damn, Mizzy Mauri got beats
 Uh, old niggas and new niggas, now what's the difference?
 All in the same boat in a stuck position
 So when an old nigga talking, I don't fucking listen
 They don't know every day we make tough decisions
 It seems though we is at a generational gap
 Which bring conversation and a statement in fact
 We can agree none of us is 'posed to make it in rap
 I understand both sides, let me break it in half
 Let's take it back when hip-hop originated
 And old niggas said it was wack, they couldn't take it
 And called it a little trend, said it wouldn't last
 Now it's the number one genre as the time passed
 Young niggas won't listen and we know it
 But old niggas always talk and never show it
 You gotta practice what you preach and the classes that you teach
 Will eventually listen, my mind mentally prison, uh
 Lately, all my idols they been failing me
 Catching sexual assaults and some felonies
 Then you want me to listen what you telling me
 And wanna hate when we sing our little melodies
 And other idols they be broke, get your funds in order
 And Kanye West is a Trump supporter
 Then we got R. Kelly and Bill Cosby
 Who still probably got lil' girls in the Hills lobby
 And these supposed to be our heroes? negro please
 Old niggas unreliable like D-Rose knees
 Only man I can trust is G-O-D
 Not to mention Mos Def and Talib Kweli
 Now I get it, y'all think new niggas really suck
 And white kids fucking love it, lil' silly ducks
 But I know it's a lot of bullshit going on, I understand
 But please don't complain without a plan
 Ironically, I wrote this whole song off a Xan', nah I'm playing
 I'm just tryna be a fucking man
 We see you old niggas as a lot of clowns
 Not to mention our father figures was not around
 So we all on tours and we hopping towns
 We just need to sit down and find common ground
 And it's soon to come, soon to come
 Hip-Hop need balance like the moon and sun
 It feel good when I wear Christian Louboutins
 So I gotta drop music to accrue some funds
 And I get it, that's the mindset that's killing the rhyme-fest
 But feeding our families, lowering the crime yet
 You want us to be separate and make a contest
 Rapping to stay up out the streets, shouldn't mind that
 Staying out of prison and we saying fuck the system man
 Rapping is an outlet to go and get our dividends
 Rather than out robbing niggas, selling Ritalin
 Old niggas bitter, y'all should love it when a nigga win
 'Cause we came from the same struggle like Diddy and Dame Russell
 Was teaching and gained hustle, got rich, remained subtle
 See I listen, see I listen
 But Lil Dae-Dae water whipping in the kitchen
 Ready to flip a pack and bring it back, no submission
 Gotta just go attack Lil Pump when you're dissing
 I understand both sides of the Ziploc
 Y'all old niggas' time is coming nigga, tick tock
 I'ma still wear all my Gucci flip-flops
 And the fucking diamond chain with the big rocks
 And I'll be the greatest ever nigga, just watch
 Cardi B got rich from "Love & Hip Hop", haha
