Don't make me laugh niggas funny

De La Soul from the soul

You can't duplicate the sound boy

Don't make me laugh niggas funny

"Nigga" a noun usually disparaging and offensive

A term used to refer to or address a Black person

Don't make me laugh niggas funny

Huh "Funny" an adjective providing fun

Causing amusement or laughter

Or warranting suspicion like you motherfuckers

Don't make me laugh niggas funny

She walk around with her top down

Let me talk in her ear she know me as "Sop Sound"

Some do it for the culture

We do it for cultivating the mind that's knocked down

We worth millions but not millionaires

'Cause music industry rules are in disrepair yet

Matrimony of time and body intervenes with wisdom

To right the wrongs of any would-be king

They offerin' a castle but who owns the land?

Questions rarely asked in becoming a man

See way back when we were teens and wide-eyed with the third one closed

While the nose is breathing up the glitz tryna catch a whiff of the fame

And gather any shine on our name

But jealousy rained down from those whose thoughts are never sunny

Saying Don't make me laugh niggas funny

It be that textbook hood dilemmas

When you 'bout to gain light jealous ones want to install the dimmers

Now is the same as then

A nigga heart is on hate while his face lies to you with a grin

It's where the evil eye lurks watchin' others approving of your works

One too many praises raises their blood with fermented frowns or a smirk

They throw mud while saying Don't make me laugh niggas funny

And the elders steady telling the youth

That wisdom's being pulled out the hood as if attached to a tooth

And now nerves exposed

Girls try to set the boys on the right track they like

"The nerve of them olds"

I suppose when they were kids they watched cartoons

And flew around their room like the man from Krypton

As they got older you know what some do

They separate red and blue and get their Bloods and Crips on

So many mesmerized by the mess

They hear the ringin' in their ears

That's the gods trying to align 'em

But unlike pianos they choose to be out of tune

So that's where you find 'em

A wrench with a stench for somebody else's come-up

Especially when our skin is indigenous to the sunup

I run up to write on the page of life

But they snatch it from me while saying

Don't make me laugh niggas funny

And on the other side of this

You have them funny-style niggas talkin' with a hiss

They fast and ugly foul

And flashin' tryna get a reaction from the crowd it's wild

To knock this kid on his ass we're unallowed

All these bird niggas mincin' they words is runnin' 'round

Out here waitin' for the man like Velvet Underground

Smart brothers keep convincin' themselves to dumb it down

Pickin' poison off of bodega shelves to numb it now

Listen when it get ugly quick fast and in a hurry

Sometimes it boil down to who had the biggest money

Or the one who Philly wanted enough to get it from me

Think you hungry enough? Don't make me laugh niggas funny

Look I'm sick of following the masses

I'm sick of givin' up game to niggas failin' classes niggas lame

I'm sick of half-assed hip-hop flows sick of passport bros

Sick of hoes with the same fat ass and short nose

Uh-oh they comin' for me? Them clones wanna son me

But shorties with the cookies and scones they love to love me

Probably why some clowns swear they supposed to mean-mug me

I mean literally Don't make me laugh niggas funny

I'm from 5th and McKean where people live in between horror and hell

Convince you that they just livin' the dream

Every day another reason to play the visitin' team

They say the meter to make it's if you can lift a machine

Where the stars don't shine bright and days ain't sunny

It's a struggle to fly right and claim victory

In the subtlest twilight but that ain't shit to me

Check the history Don't make me laugh niggas funny

Don't make me laugh

Don't don't make me laugh

Don't make me laugh niggas niggas funny

Don't make me laugh

Don't make me laugh
