Slums Lyrics - Watermelon, Chicken And Gritz - Nappy Roots

We represent the slums, alright 

Let's get this motherfucker crunkin' from Kentucky to Baghdad 

Ya pops was always gone but that didn't make him a bad dad 

We still managed to eat, and come to think wattn't half bad 

But Doug was always on us 'bout the things that we never had 

Now I was born in Oakland better known as the Cold Town 

Done seen too many folk down, some put the soul down 

Done heard my momma cryin' if I knew what I know now 

I'd pro'ly have to greet the party room with the fo' pound 

I'm tryna keep my head on straight to keep me from catchin' 

In case I feel my insides burnin', musta swallowed all twenty-eight 

I'm drinkin' Milk of Magnesia, but still I ain't feelin' straight 

Some mo' had murdered my granddad over real-estate 

Represent the slums, represent the slums 

Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww 

Represent the slums, represent the slums 

Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww 

Bummy, if I put it out, sucky, if I pull it out 

Ohh me, ya better kick it out, or ya livin' in a haunted house 

Ran what you tried to run, came how you tried to come 

Did what you couldn't do, difference between me and you 

Slum for a while now, country for a lifetime 

Cool is what I choose to be, but that ain't what I used to be 

Muddy waters couldn't drown a nigga, bloodhounds on the trail for real 

Shakin' up this rap shit, givin' niggaz hell for real 

Turn a hold the dog deal, mucus and you hearin' right 

National Geographic ain't, fuckin' with this wildlife 

Hissin', I'm finna strike, rattlin', I'm finna bite 

Hell with a blue light, fuckin' with no rules tonight 

Represent the slums, represent the slums 

Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww 

Represent the slums, represent the slums 

Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww 

Now once again, you see me layin' down the law 

These cowards tryna catch me like my hustle got a flaw 

Bitch I'm Southern bred 

That's where you break it down to raw and then you flush the rest 

I said you break it down to raw and then you flush the rest 

And I ain't playin' witcha'll haters since y'all fucked up my order 

Got me playin' with a gram, coulda been up to a quarter 

Now my cousin called me up and said he finally did it 

Graduated from a handheld, to primary digits 

'Cuz in the slums we don't work we just grind and gamble 

Guaranteed I got that shit, niggaz dyin' to sample 

Now whattchu know about that work from the states of Georgia 

Cook so thick, collard, grits and water 

We in the slums 

Represent the slums, represent the slums 

Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww 

Represent the slums, represent the slums 

Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww 

Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww
