Roosevelt Franklin

Don't forget to do that thing for your mother

Roosevelt!

Yeah yeah yeah, alright, alright [Prince Poetry]

Running upon the jagged edge,

****, THE

ROUGH LIFE when you have to gain much respect

As an individual keepin negativity minimum requires havin courage respect him his intellect so you gotta be on

THAT specific type of

SET Like Roosevelt, especially when your cards are dealt

You see me, frankly,

I don't give a hoot about the blanks you shoot out of your mental bank see

I like Roosevelt, cause he ain't booty

Moody maybe, baby you're mad cause he smashed up your cutie

Playin the courts, takin the loss, to wherever some clever college edu-ma-cated individual

With financial status

JUST to mess what the

BANK stated

Girls love it, and you can't look above it you hate it

Peeped his method, you laid, you waited

You never ever contemplated if

I pull a automatic will

I leave the artillery out or just flight

Check in the night, you're out to snipe, my man you can't stand upon sight of him

Out to fatally ignite him

Roosevelt felt staticky, he knew things were shady

Grady had,

Bradley's uzi, but he always packed a clip or two belongin to a nickel-plated .380

Givin off the impression of a clever nerd

Never was a suspect when a homicide occured, in the suburbs

He was referred, to as a respectable intellectual

Highly acceptable rebel from the ghetto on the level of an intelligent rapper, create him just like

Giupetto The aggresive type, and he's not your puppet

Stickin quickin enough to pull a skeezer with repetition after takin aim and buckin and blowin the smoke away then tuckin and jettin home, hopin that no stunts are stuck in it

He needs sleep, for eight o'clock class so as fast as he crash, he might last for six hours of bed passed, cause

Roosevelt's a scholar

Ivy league material, cully-head kid with

BRAINPOWER

Six foot two, and we wear the same size shoe

He drinks brew, and he runs with my crew, my herd on a continuous basis, in the same, places

Rollin out five deep, but it's only four faces

So I don't, give a two, drip-drops about, what those have felt

And if I die (and if he die) and if

I die (and if he DIEEEEEEEE)

And if I die it's because of my man

Franklin [Pharoahe Monch]

Ooooooooooooh

I'm so confuuuuuuuuused..

DAMN, IT H

URTS! People persist to treat me like dirt

I don't sleep at night, time cause dimes

I DON'T DR

OP I sling and clockers cease

Commanders in

Chiefs when

I pop rocks

Dig deep within, you might recognize me

I'm the one with the bloodshot eyes

Hot rays of sun, beat down upon my face as if

I'll melt bacon

Why the hell my mother named me

Roosevelt

Franklin?

I .. don't .. know, so

I strive to gain only the

Lord knows my eyes have seen the pain

Tears comin down my cheeks like rain

I was abused, they stripped the mind for amu*****t

Now I walk the path of

ORGANIZED

KONFUSION

But it's only a temporary formality

Cause my man

Scott turns illusion into reality

A loaf of bread (a loaf of bread), a stick of butter

Somebody's mother lies, dead in the gutter

So I move

QUICK FAST, to get past quickly

Swiftly, at last, cops can't get

WITH ME Can't hit me, nah never

I'm TOO NI

FTY, people

*****TTIN ME

Products in the projects so

I pump FIF

TIES in soda cans so dogs won't

SNIFF ME I'm takin the proper precautions (yeah)

Cause once my mother told me she was gonna get an abortion

I can't keep track.. of the fluctuation.. of time

Hallucinogenics keep, abusin my mind

Gotta pick up, gotta pick up, gotta pick up, gotta pick up more product, gotta move, gotta go

I can't get stuck; not here

Not if I wanna become

Roosevelt

Franklin the employee of the year

I wear baseball caps over my eyes so you can't make out me at night when

I'm standin on the corner eatin

Chinese takeout .. damn

I almost forgot, yo yo

I have to break out

Yo don't forget your moms told you to get that stuff

A loaf of bread, a stick of butter, container of milk

A loaf of bread (a loaf of bread) a stick of butter (stick of butter), umm.. container of milk (container of milk)
