Malcolm West Lyrics

You can call me

Malcolm West man

Never been

A yes man

I’ve always been a freshman

With seniority perspectives

I’m trying out electives

Trying not to be selective

I guess it’s true about what they say

When your circle reflects

On all your blessings

No one ever test us

Cause we well known

Like DHS

I’m likely to pull up to the scene

To you

I look overdressed

I’m always giving it my all

So don’t expect nothing less

Parents grinding

So I’m grinding

So they won’t have to stress

I had to stand my ground

Cause when you nice

They try walk over you

I’m like Iron Man

My suit of armor

Is my ego

Ain’t never had to struggle

I thank the Lord

Every morning

I’ve always kept a good record

So my name don't get tarnished

Either way

Whatever you say

Won’t change my progress

Regardless

I always keep the good vibes flowing

Call me the life of the party

I'm always on point with the task

But off the green I'm uncharted

Never moving lethargic

I rarely share much in common

With you fools

Y’all got the blues

Out here giving out clues

Closed mouths don’t get fed

So just speak up what's true

We all have own way

To cope with things that we do

You gotta want it as much Jordan

When he played with flu

Yeah man

Whatever you want in life

You just gotta grind for it

You gotta strive for it

Stand in long lines for it

Hell die for it

Sacrifices made every day

Hell I done cried for it

Like Cyborg

A human computer

I look ahead in the future

& what I see

Is my homies standing next to me

Popping bottles

Smoking weed

Spreading love

Is all we seek

Different ways to make this cheese

A boss so I do what I please

Different women loving me

A shepherd herding all you sheep

I’ve been awake since bout 03

That’s way before Lebron was King

Putting on for my whole team

So we can all sit down & feast

Bond is thicker than our blood

& hair gel that they used in Grease

3rd eye always open

So I see the ones that like to leech

I always keep it real

Cause I was told to practice what I preach

I drop to my knees

Pray to the Lord

To keep a watch over me

Pray for the ones

Who I lost in the streets

Pray for the ones

Who be hating on the kid

Cause I’m awesome see

I don’t beef

Life to short

Whatcha mean

Tides gone turn

& you’ll see

I ain’t gone stop

While y’all stuck in them Lil boats

I’ll be chilling in a yacht

So when I said that

This what I meant

Y’all closed minded

So you always stand alone

In the end

If you would open up your mind

& see the life that we live

You’ll see your life begin the change

Like your friends in the end
