Cornbread, Eddie & Me lyrics
[Aceyalone]
Aiyyo the police shot Cornbread in the street
And they just killed Cochise over a beef

Ah man, I m just a brother whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don t let me be misunderstood
I gotta 10 fifty-fo under the hood
Several stages of lifespan, damned if I would
be a dope when it s not a laughin matter
Modern contemporary man still hunt and gather data
They want glamour, the priceless prize
Give em a torch and they put the fire to your eyes
Give em a inch they take a yard and they pull your card
Throw a wrench so far in yours it ll leave a scar
Raise the bar, I pass it with the right scholastics
They made it plastic, that s why they couldn t grasp it
I always knew that you would fail me
Once shame on me twice you shouldn t have to tell me
And I ll be damned if I ll let you get away with that
I just ain t playin that, that s that bullshit!

Jardine and the kids tryin to make ends meet
Half dead and do dirty as some God damn thiefs

Yo - hold your head up, you only got your life left
Make the right step and don t sing the wrong song
Fight somebody your own damn size
You dead wrong, thinkin you won t meet yo demise
This baby here, gon grow up to be a king
I don t know how you seein things, but that s a fact
It ll be over my dead body
if I let you put a mother{fuckin} monkey on his back
Shit ain t changed, it s just the choices
The voices in your head sayin do what you don t gotta do
They scared of themselves which means that they scared of me
And them the same, punk-ass fools that shot at you
The lord giveth and he taketh away
God bless that I can live to see another day
And if I had it my way I d hang you all by the neck
Have some respect, I ll serve and protect

Aiyyo the police short Cornbread in the street
And they just killed Cochise over a beef

And if my teachers could see you now
They ll take your head, cause you probably wouldn t even bow
You ain t humble, you mumble jumble
Your tower of so-called power ll crumble
You killed my uncle, put a dagger through my brother s heart
I need another start, cause if I knew then
what I know now, it ll be wild
Booyaka! Booyaka! I ll put you in the ground
A peaceful man ain t got no place here
I guess you wanna see em all die with the lambs
I face fear everyday til the space is clear
Then I fight em like a man cause it s what I am
Somebody told me the road to freedom is lonely
but I swear I ain t goin on my own
I m takin my sisters, my families, my homies
Now I m about to take this mother(fucker) home

Aiyyo the police short Cornbread in the street
And they just killed Cochise over a beef
Jardine and the kids tryin to make ends meet
Half dead and do dirty as some God damn thiefs
