Pip Skid - I Can't Front lyrics

[Verse One] The beads used to hang from my neck, red, black and green Plus an African medallion, know what I mean? In love with people I've hardly seen, denying that I'm white Could've been that my rap tail was braided too tight And when I stepped into the pharmacy to get jheri curl juice The woman whispered "This is only for the Negros to use." And Welcome New shaved me up a 3rd Base like MC Serch Surrender flag glowing white like the bark of a birch It only hurts so much and the system gets defensive Hair cut costs ten bucks but it's really much more expensive Murder and John Smith, they used to listen to Mobb Deep And pose in the mirror with a pair of my four fronts on their teeth Lip syncing to Mac [?] throwing up a gun clap After a show this guy tells me he only likes white rap Needs a slap I'm trying to stop the sickness as it spreads I remember walking around Brandon in fake dreads Being confronted This dude should've squashed me like zucchini Leaving filthy tags all over and calling it graffiti Stealing Al B. Sure out on my rap tape hunt Now I'm still in effect but yo I ain't gonna front [Hook] {French} I wanted to be down {x8} [Verse Two] This limp that I acquired, it was not an injury Word Up was my window to the rap industry Wrote the Donald D fan club, but nobody answered back And I forgave the crew when Everlast dropped 'I Got The Knack' Wishing I was black But never challenged my fears Ran out and got hoops pierced into both of my ears Getting called a "f*g", whitey's burden ain't that hard to carry My mom trying to throw out my By All Means Necessary Step dad yelling, "Cut out the African jungle sh**" Took a long time to figure out why I didn't fit A Bud Bundy, Zebrahead, hot dog bun With inside-out overalls on with one strap undone Reading Malcolm X, listen to X-Clan and Nice & Smooth Craving black attention like I got something to prove Look at me, look at me, I'm not like all the rest I kinda sound like Beastie Boys, House Of Pain or Farm Fresh I won't front, I used to rock LA Raiders gear But now it's much more clear, the white race traitor is here [Hook]
