Make My Move by Penny Shaw Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All of my days man I never seen ways like this
Corrupt tings gwan on some Adolf shit
Black on black crime it's making things easy
Killing off each other we endangered species
Pull the tape from the VCR
Need a breathe of fresh air like CPR
And if all we got here is what we record
I guess it's really true pen mightier than the sword
Black man with a brain they don't want that
Rather see me rolling up sipping cognac
Rent, borrow - but I don't really own that
Where the guns? Where the drugs? Nigga, hold that
Maybe we all stuck?
Maybe I'm just sitting here asking for too much?
Maybe I should be like y'all? - Don't give a fuck
In the club - po it up, claim yo set, throw it up, what what
[Hook]
I turn around in the still of the room
Knowing this is when I'm gonna make my move
Can't wait any longer
And I'm feeling stronger but oh
[Verse 2]
Every single day all I hear is complaining
Sun be out shining but it feel like it's raining
I know how it feel, damn times changing
Penny for your thoughts so make sure you save it
Wanna be a baller? Shot caller?
Then you can't talk like this here for starters
Ready to be a martyr? What do I need?
I know at least in Florida - Skittles and iced tea
Get a nigga shot quick - Oh no, black man down
But me I go to jail if I stand my ground
Wait, wait I think I got it
Rodney had a video, everybody saw it
So if like Amadou I pull out my wallet
I end up like Sean Bell it's so demonic
They expect me to act cool, put us in bad schools
But I still ain't fooled
[Verse 3]
Life's short so I can't let a day go
Me and my confidants sitting at the round table
Living unstable so they wan' label
Me and the minority, so my debut
That'll be my biggest payback to the world
Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to your girl
I don't even need 40 acres and a mule
All I need is a 4 finger ring and I'm cool
Yeah it's like that - For the thrill of it all, it's like Mike Jack
Dead man walking they ready to write that
Sending letters to God he don't write back
I don't know left from right but I'm right back
To that same place that I grew up as a kid
All these heartaches and pains I got glued to my ribs
So these jewels that I kick - strictly for the blind
Could say I ain't shit but can't say I ain't trying
[Verse 4]
Pull up to the spot, brand new drop
If a cop try to stop I'm like "bla bla bla"
Just got fired, days and the times
I'm a load a couple nines cause I gotta get mine
And I ain't even strapped but I be talking that
Cause only way they responds if I tell em click clack
I tell em click clack, watch em all get back
Struggling and you black this how they want you to act
This how they want you to be, but they don't never see
It's easy to downplay but between you and me
Can't argue my views, you ain't walk in my shoes
I be often confused, every thought dem'a choose
Acting all phony, you be acting like you know me
Nigga we ain't even homies
Shit you don't know my story, you don't even know the half
Whole city by my side - Penny tell why you mad
All of my days man I never seen ways like this
Corrupt tings gwan on some Adolf shit
Black on black crime it's making things easy
Killing off each other we endangered species
Pull the tape from the VCR
Need a breathe of fresh air like CPR
And if all we got here is what we record
I guess it's really true pen mightier than the sword
Black man with a brain they don't want that
Rather see me rolling up sipping cognac
