Do Fa Self

[35 seconds of instrumental and "classroom" to open] "Today, we have Apache; he's going to speak to us about what happens, after school." [Apache] Yo yo what the fuck is up, I'm not here to preach or teach or bore yo' little asses with a 30 minute speech Life's a bitch, ten minutes 'til be in court So I'll get to the point, cut the bullshit short Came up in the school of hard knocks, fuck the cops In the back a lot, we graduated from sellin rocks Got into scramblin and gambling's my shit My spot got hot so I stopped packed up and quit I know you can't tell, but momma raised me well She taught, I fought, to escape the fate of a cell It's only one me, what's so fuckin funny? Mommy taught me how to use a Tec to get money Before she died, I cried, she said "Listen son - opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one" Self-survival's job one if you want it Well fuck what you heard - do fa self [Chorus: reggae chatta + yelling children] Whenever the pressure gets ya dowwwn - "I'MA DO FA SELF" And alla ya friends are not ar-round - "I'MA DO FA SELF" Family starts to doubt you - "I'MA DO FA SELF" Dem never give a fuck about you - "I'MA DO FA SELF" [scratching] "I'MA DO FA SELF" [Apache] Sit back, relax, while I conduct the class Haven't you heard, a hardhead makes a soft ass Sit up straight jailbait pay attention ... or get sent to detention [little kid (Apache)] Maaan, I'll pay attention if I wanna My fat black ass pay attention to my man on the street corner (WHY IS THAT?) Because he makin lots of dough Matter fact, buy fat clothes and lots of hoes (So you think that his lifestyle is fine?) No, but I gotta get mine If I was a comedian I'd make you laugh A fireman? I'd blow away the backdraft I could be a point guard and leave you stuck I could be a cop, fools got no luck Dig, I'm a kid, and I want wealth (Fuck what you heard - do fa self) [Chorus] "I'MA DO FA SELF" [x2] [Apache] Sex is the next subject, let's keep in mind I had my first piece of pussy when I was nine Nobody told me the facts about Jim hats Couldn't keep me from goin I was hoin like it was all that There's a valuable lesson here to be learned I was the man for a minute until Tonto got burned Before you step up strap up for safe sex The bitch that burned me I broke her fuckin neck I came apart and the hood didn't share a care A nigga's worst nightmare, and I didn't fight fair One time my brother tried to play me to get paid Showed no shame, had more game than an arcade (Did you get him?) Got him (Shoot him?) Shot him (What is up with his family?) Yo I could care a fuckin less about 'em But I pray that you stay in good health Fuck what you heard - do fa self [Chorus] [scratching] "I'MA DO FA SELF" [x4]
