The Onus - Tajai
Now you can blame it on the blunts and beer
Or my utter lack of fear when I'm dragging in her ear
Like ain't no commitments girl we just kicking it right
Laughing at the prophylactic I just slipped it inside
Cause I ain't tripping I like running raw daddy
Not knowing nine months from that moment I'll be called daddy
All mad and indignant when I heard the news
Cursing tripping but it was cool when I was digging it
But now it's b**ch this and it's ho that
And it's a lot of other words that I can't hold back
Man I don't want no kids girl you know that
But sh*t you barely know my name let alone where my dome at
We got it on way before that
Didn't know or hadn't even seen her sober
Only thought in my mind was getting over
Now the seat I saved her bout to drop
And all I do is clutch my bottle and wallow in sorrow
With each swallow living for yesterday man f**k tomorrow
All my accusations and allegations they ring hollow
Cause I ain't got nobody in the world to blame but me I know
I know
What you are is what you do
You better watch yourself cause they're watching you
Your own mistakes could be your biggest obstacles
But if you believe you can achieve the impossible
Now if you full of regrets that's on you on you
And if you don't know what to do that's on you on you
You can't get no respect that's on you on you
And if you're without a clue that's on you
He always wanted to have sh*t
Cause this ni**a never had sh*t
It even influenced him to get into bad sh*t
Like shoplifting and party crashing
All for the cash and fashion he smashing
But he was smarter than the average sh*t starter
Had it all planned out how he was going to harvard
Hard as it seems he was working toward his dreams
But still into things never for the surrendering
So so when the wind blows his ten toes wiggle
And then he's out of his bedroom window
Living in the moment doing whatever he wanted
When his homework is done he's living in another zone
With his crimies breaking into cars and houses
Thinking his getaway's clean but how's about this
One of his boys got caught and snitched
Saying that he was the mastermind of all this sh*t
The same day his letter of acceptance came
The boys came to get him as his mother stood breathless
He couldn't explaing hung his head in shame
Later found his college career was down the draing
Even though he beat the case it was all over
The local newspaper a complete disgrace
It read teen prodigy suspect in robbery
Young black and intelligent somewhat of an oddity
When he went to visit the school the dean of admissions was like
Sorry you're not harvard material
Plus you have an arrest record at best
Reflecting a decadent past application rejected
What you are is what you do
You better watch yourself cause they're watching you
Your own mistakes could be your biggest obstacles
But if you believe you can achieve the impossible
Now if you get caught slipping that's on you on you
And if your pockets is flat that's on you on you
And if you're mad and tripping that's on you on you
If you dazed and confused that's on you on you
Yo what you are is what you do
You'd best to watch yourself cause they're watching you
They're thinking of washing you
That's why we humble and caution you
To keep a failsafe in your arsenal
Sometimes it's too late to start anew
So recognize and realize it's real lives you may jeapordize
One'll be your own if you blind to what's going on
You can get caught up in a bind and get your mind blown
Find a zone to refine your soul cause time is so elusive
People are so intrusive judge not
But yet you shall be judged every time your broke your word
Every time you held a grudge too proud to budge
A ni**a too loud to hush
Trying ta be a stud muffin when you really a pound of puff
Sh*t you swept to the side kept piling up
I guess you didn't think the consequences was vile enough
You should've thought long range long range
Look into your own thang own thang
And don't complaing what you manifest returns from whence it came
Live and learn when you try to go against the grain man
What you are is what you do
You better watch yourself cause they're watching you
Your own mistakes could be your biggest obstacles
But if you believe you can achieve the impossible
Now if you can't keep a job that's on you on you
And if you don't know what to do that's on you on you
And if you can't keep a broad that't on you on you
And if you're without a clue that's on you on you
What you are is what you do
You better watch yourself cause they're watching you
Your own mistakes could be your biggest obstacles
But if you believe you can achieve the impossible
Now if you get caught slipping that's on you on you
And if your pockets is flat that's on you on you
And if you're mad and tripping that's on you on you
If you dazed and confused that's on you on you
Know what I'm saying niggas always want to point the finger
And they point the finger at the man in the mirror psych out yeah
