Mad Nice Lyrics - Black Thought

[Verse 1: Black Thought] 

Yeah 

Now ever since I can remember I been living blue collar 

Searching for something, trying to make a few dollars 

I was never too polished, and never on the fly list 

Them shorties used to tell me I needed a new stylist 

My birthdays came 

Instead of selling me a promise 

My mom, was dead honest 

Like "Yo, we ain't got it" 

Better be a Rhodes scholar 

Trying to make, son outta, the school of the hood 

That be the ghetto alma mater 

Its a long drawn out saga, like The Godfather 

Coming up this hard, it made a nigga rock solid 

Now I be the top shotter, heart of a Rottweiler 

The boss that learned to move cautious as Asaad 

I don't take shit for granted, I'm strong single-handed 

And I ain't quick to panic, but I can't lift the planet 

My one and only concern is that ya'll understand it 

If it's understood, then good, I'm taking this advantage 

I've been waiting for them cameras, the stage is mine 

I'm coming up, but I still got a ways to climb 

It ain't a reason I should fall off or change my grind 

I'll be alright, as long as I heed the danger signs 

Come on! 

I just wanna fly, can't get away 

This type of shit happens everyday 

(This ain't funny, so don't you dare laugh)

[Verse 2: MF DOOM] 

Straight and narrow, as the flight of a sparrow 

Stalking through the jungle have you paro as a pharoah with a bad toe 

Seat up in a beat up Camaro 

How you supposed to shoot for the moon with one arrow? 

And no bow. Don't blow your hibachi 

Look like a Ferrari 'cept its only a mirage 

Troopered out, but choose to go the stupid route 

Catheter on and a half of a moon in a putrid mouth 

Keep the name out 

Heck, check the repertoire 

Right there where it say "who catch wreck and kept it raw" 

Accepted in the name of Allah, a leopard's paw 

Swept it, and stepped it like (?) 

I ask questions later 

Villain, the invader in a mask for the paper 

Spent the cake on a light rice bowl 

Wouldn't waste a wait on a date off the lice pole 

Dice roll, it's like he know magic, hat trick 

Writing flows that make little Mikey go spastic 

It's so drastic, pass the cash quick 

Don't get your monkey-ass kicked for no plastic 

Take it all back in a tall pack, don't stack, bozack 

Hit him if you need some more crack, go pro-black 

That's the price for a tad of bad advice 

At least he got fat 20's and he mad nice
