skyzoo the 9th wonder - stop fooling yourself lyrics
feels somethin’ like
[x3:]
i solemnly swear
what i perform in the booth
all of it is truth
goes somethin like this
[verse 1:]
uh, to whoever it may concern
if you listenin’, i’m lookin’ for a place to turn
see it seems like, this is all i want out of life
but it’s the other way around, i wanna do right
but it’s moreso a question of responsibilities
so the lights stay on, but my conscience is killin’ me
gettin’ my mariano on, pitcher perfect
still inside, i fear the lord like “is it worth it?”
huh, at first i say “no”
but when i open my closet, it makes say so – f-ck it
and this is hustler haven, see i’m not alone
cause he would say that i got faith, or i got a home
so i ask god if he still love us
i don’t always wanna be this drug dealin’ ma’f-cker but
i was playin’ on, with opposite plans
and i ain’t even have the decency to wash my hands
[chorus:]
so he spoke through the clouds like
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
i said nevermind the mistakes, and he said
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
i said i’m tryin’ to get through them gates, and he said
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
i said i’m tryin’ to switch my ways, and he said
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
[verse 2:]
searchin’ for a way out of the bottom
without shootin’ the 3, or tryin’ to serve product
i’m really just tryin’ ta defy the odds
a 9 to 5 is callin’ me, but i’m tryin’ ta dodge
i really wanna do the school thing
the so called not cool thing
cause i’m gettin’ tired of movin’ things
so maybe howard or morehouse or clark-atlanta
but all of my friends peddle crack and spark hammers
i told em we could still be hood and do somethin’ more
wit our lives
and they all look surprised like
“wasn’t you the same ma’f-cker?”
“that showed us how to cook up and cut the b-tter?”
i said “yeah but i guess i sort of had an epiphany”
“i’m tryin’ to take this ride, and ya’ll don’t wanna
trip wit me?”
got into nc central and i was glad
i ripped my acceptance letter in half
[chorus:]
cause my dudes kept tellin’ me
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
tried to change my grind and they replied
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
i said “you changed wit time,” and they was dyin’ like
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
so i changed my mind, and stayed outside like
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
[bridge:]
they say you are what you are, and you been what you been
played the corner so long, i blend with the wind
mind over matter
money from the grind is a factor
tryin’ to get it wit mines gon’ matter
you are what you are, and you been what you been
played the corner so long, i blend with the wind
mind over matter
money from the grind is a factor
tryin’ to get it wit mines gon’ matter
[chorus:]
cause everything else is really like
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
i’m playin’ tug ‘o war wit myself like
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
cause if i try to call for some help it’s like
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
scared to go to the lord for help like
[sample:]
boy, stop foolin yourself
boy, stop
so i just say f-ck it
[x3:]
i solemnly swear
what i perform in the booth
all of it is truth
goes somethin’ like
