Anti-FRAT by Eazy-B Lyrics
[Verse 1: Eazy-B]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright bro
We finna get it
Im straight to the point when they pull out the joint
Cause I never ever wanna see a slack in my boys
Its all white noise, you better believe it
Its your choice, how you perceive it
The life that they livin appear so appealin
But trust me that lifestyle is quite deceivin
You might go astray, when the line turns grey
And being lukewarm is the worst kind of demon
You see em, they talk it out
He was a good boy, but he in college now
Thought he had it all together but amidst the peer pressure
He might risk it all one night on the town
Cause he on the sand
He built his foundation on grains of sand
He a flimsy soul and a shallow man
Drinking alcohol, I don't understand
How he could be so quick to lose control
And dive right in and lose his soul
And his inhibitions for a greater vision
Were all at stake when he left the home
Cause momma had him upstream
That prolly didn't last for long
Cause I know I seen him flushing
All of his morals gone
And now he run with the pack of the wolves everyday
And they eat and they growl and they run and they prey
On more innocent ones just like he was
Before he sold his soul and became a slave
To this life that y'all livin
So much pretendin, so much for Christian
So much for giving the parents a visit
And hope for the peace you can find in the mission
And so you tryna find rest when you lose yourself
Why you tryna find rest, might abuse yourself
First you'll lose your mind, then you'll lose your health
On those M&Ms, you gon lose yourself
With your knees weak and your palms sweaty
Vomit on your sweater, not moms spaghetti
Nintendo racin outta moral places
Faster than Mario Andretti
Cause Lucy was lookin real fine
I think you fell for her this time
You fell in line with the other guys
Who were more than down to sacrifice
All morale for the pals and some fun and some drank
And the gals coming out so you breaking the bank
You party with em, you should see the venom
Cause you been living your life with a bunch of snakes
And that's true, better protect your neck
Frats runnin scams on identity theft
You lost your persona at your alma mater
And if you tryn find hope then you failed the test
Yeah, you got it wrong
I see the shots, the girls, the beer pong
You had to go along
And now i find myself writing this song
Cause I care bout the choices that you make
And I ain't tryna see you fall from grace
It ain't the boat shoes or pocket tees that I hate
But there's a certain culture that cultivates
When you chase acceptance and always stressin
And worry bout how to fit in
Might have to learn your lesson with the peer pressure
There's greater peace than what you sippin
Im talking Alpha, Omega, Beginning & End
God is my frat, boy, I live with him
My identity is infinity
So i can live my life and not pretend
Thats why im anti-FRAT and I mean I’m
Anti sacrificing what makes you you
I’m anti forfeiting your soul for the lusts of the flesh
[Verse 2: Lil Nelly]
Can’t tell you how many times I threw it all away
Just to fit right in and live a lie
When you’re on your deathbed bout to die
Ask yourself, “How hard did I try?”
Think through your life
I don’t want you wondering after
If it really, do it matter
You just try to climb the ladder
And get to the top, push everyone down
But really on the inside you’re insecure
When you don’t make it you’re in despair
You’ll turn to fake friends, You’ll fail in the end
You keep givin in to be okay
Me and B put the truth on display
Cause this is a hard life, every single day
Listen to him
Your identity in the world, I throw that away
And I brag on my Lord
Smokin dope ain’t real hope
Turnin to drugs ain’t no way to cope
The Bible ain’t fiction, God gives sanctification
Delete your highlight Instagram pics
We need something greater than hitting your fix
[Outro: Lil Nelly]
Yeah, so I’m sure we’ve all heard the word frat
And we all have different opinions of what that means
But i think what it means is, frat means you’re cool
Or it means you’re accepted, means you’ve got it together
But really what this is, is we’re idolizing our image that we
We do all these things to match what culture tells us is cool
That we buy these brands, these clothes, we act a certain way
To do what they want us to do to make ourselves feel wanted and desired
And we do this for our own gain
You know we look to social media to promise more connection
But really it's disconnection, you know
Cause we’re not focusing on each other
We’re focusing on, hey, what can I post to bring myself more popularity
You know, can we just stop this and focus on each other
Focus on loving each other and give up these idols
Give up these things that build up our image
Andquit being chained down by society
Be yourself, you know
You don’t gotta worry about what everybody else is doin
Do what you are
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright bro
We finna get it
Im straight to the point when they pull out the joint
Cause I never ever wanna see a slack in my boys
Its all white noise, you better believe it
