THIS FOR YOU - Tobe Nwigwe

My hair is nappy

My nose is wide

My teeth are gold

And get worn with pride

I’m from the jungle

Grew up in the zoo

If you from where I’m from

Then this for you

If you from where I’m from

Then this for you

If you from where I’m from

You ol' musty mouth crustacean, get your place in line

So I can cock back and slap the sound out your face with lines

Harder than crack cocaine, no lame could ever make me tap dance

And shuck and jive like I’m Bojangles

I got more angles than a Rubik’s Cube

I’ve learned in life to be weary of folk who fool with you

Only 'cause they can see the anointing drip from your cuticles

On everything you do and they tryin' to escape the cubicle

In they own life, I got my own wife

And earned my own stripes, angels see me and throw rice

In celebration of me evading temptations

And concentrating on the manifestation that’s in Revelations

If you don’t get that then you hella basic

But it’s all gravy, we all need a facelift, ouu

To get them wrinkles out the window to our spirit

My kinfolk blow indo to make God’s voice sound more coherent

Ouu, but don’t knock him, I pray he get prophetic word

Been at the feet of God so long, I give him pedicures

I need every penny like creditors

Headed for the door of every debtor

For all these years I got slept on and kept on

Creating classics like Van Gogh, mantles

Should have on them my EP and candles

Can’t go 'round demons, they treat me like Django

When I give them more flavor than a bed of cilantro, ouu

I spit juice like the guava

And word to Allah, my pen more fire than lava, holla

My hair is nappy

My nose is wide

My teeth are gold

And get worn with pride

I’m from the jungle

Grew up in the zoo

If you from where I’m from

Then this for you

If you from where I’m from

Then this for you

If you from where I’m from

This is for you

This is for you

This is for you

This is for you

I spit a verse for every hearse

That’s in the Earth due to a coward demon

Don’t call me Tobe no more

Call me To-behemoth

My flow’s the meanest

On the track when my soul is speaking

To those that’s grieving all forms of hell

That come to those who be in

The ghetto, the hood, the slums

Where they pack metal, hit juggs for crumbs

'Cause the value of a human life ain’t high

Can’t cry, 'cause where I’m from subsequently taint my

View on what be normal and what ain’t

Hell, I’m from where you kept it cordial or got slain

Grew up 'round folk who ain’t have morals or restraint

And felt immortal 'cause they could make a fortune off 'caine, ouu

Swear that life leave you number than epidurals

And pray my dogs be off white, word to Virgil, ouu

My hair is nappy

My nose is wide

My teeth are gold

And get worn with pride

I’m from the jungle

Grew up in the zoo

If you from where I’m from

Then this for you

If you from where I’m from

Then this for you

If you from where I’m from
