Artist: DJ EFN f/ Jarren Benton, Eric Biddines, Bun B, Amber Monique Album: Another Time Song: Role Model Typed by: Gemini_20502K@Yahoo.com [Intro: Eric Biddines] DJ EFN! And Crazy Hood productions! [Verse One: Eric Biddines] Yesterday was a moment that came soon I expect to be a blessin', what other way should I prove That we don't need a picture develop the focused minds When it hits envision spittin' like man that's a cool design Smoking' on stone, barefooted, no food Barely clean water flowin' for drinkin' and think of shoes Was you dreamin' it's on, you know what song When you're shot you came home, and the electric still on Got a call from a place that you can't reach with a phone This a message for the people in the form of a song Strong bones built walls like a concrete tower Rain pourin' 'til it fell from the clouds like showers Broken soul, need a healin' we just hopin' for change I just notice if you're thinkin' that's a moment of power This an elevator step into the proper direction I'm no perfect man who listen I'm projectin' perception [Chorus: Eric Biddines & Amber Monique] Y'all don't know that I don't want no problems Tryin' to provide me a role model I done turned a penny to a whole dollar Mission lane I'm hopin' I'm on full throttle Y'all don't know that I don't want no problems Tryin' to provide me a role model I done turned a penny to a whole dollar Mission lane I'm hopin' I'm on full throttle [Verse Two: Bun B] Wakin' up in the cold world with no heat (Heat) BSB, bop it up and down your street (Street) The world we live in is crooked and corrupt So we got to let the next generation know what's up (Up) We got to give 'em the game they need to survive (Vive) Make sure they don't just exist, but that they thrive (Thrive) Stayin' alive, know on days it ain't a given Got to be aware of the surroundings that you live in (That you live in) It don't matter who you are or what you're reppin' There's some booby traps laid (Laid) so watch where you're steppin' (Where you steppin') See they don't really want us to win hell they really didn't even want to let us in (Let us in) But keep on strivin' and keep on hopin' (Hopin') Won't be long before the doors is opened You can break out of the crazy hood that you left it Wise words from the O.G. and EFN, baby [Chorus: Eric Biddines & Amber Monique] Y'all don't know that I don't want no problems Tryin' to provide me a role model I done turned a penny to a whole dollar Mission lane I'm hopin' I'm on full throttle Y'all don't know that I don't want no problems Tryin' to provide me a role model I done turned a penny to a whole dollar Mission lane I'm hopin' I'm on full throttle [Verse Three: Jarren Benton] Tryin' to be a role model, so many issues, I down the whole bottle Use to feel inadequate, fuck it didn't wanna see tomorrow Niggas put too much hope in Barack Kids grow up fatherless, their mama smokin' on rocks Where the role models when we out strollin' these blocks Ain't no rocket scientists, no lawyers or docs Crackheads, dope boys, single mothers, and cops They fear for their life, can't cherish any moment they got That's the mind of a young soldier in these lost communities His 13th eulogy where is the opportunities? Ain't no young dreamers, the reality's a nightmare We, bitch over policies, kids deserve the right care Fuck the crooked office of politicians and preachers Waiting on some leader to reach us, nigga please Seen some dark clouds, the sky forever blue Dream big young kings the role model is you [Chorus: Eric Biddines & Amber Monique] Y'all don't know that I don't want no problems Tryin' to provide me a role model I done turned a penny to a whole dollar Mission lane I'm hopin' I'm on full throttle Y'all don't know that I don't want no problems Tryin' to provide me a role model I done turned a penny to a whole dollar Mission lane I'm hopin' I'm on full throttle [Outro: Amber Monique] Follow! Follow! Follow! 'Cause I just wanna be a role model Oooh oooh oooh!
