When people tend to be so rude
My mama felt it in her ghetto
There was no mattress for my head
But no she couldn't call me Jesus
I wasn't writing what she said
And then she made me go
Prong Pooh, don't have to explain it all
Prong Pooh, don't know how to take it down
Prong Pooh, I'm just trying to make it down Prong Pooh
[Gb] [B] I've got some babies and some sisters
My brother worked for Uncle Sam
It's just a shame, ain't it mister?
[Gb] We [Abm] being brothers on the damn
But loving brings a lot of difference
You are my lover, do believe
Shall we join hands and learn from tomorrow?
[Ab] Don't give me nothing at this [Abm] speed
Keep your head high
Prong Pooh, I'm here till I die
Prang Pooh, don't need to pretend
Prong Pooh, keep your common sense Prang Pooh

Prong Pooh, I think you're a secret
There is no [Gb] secret [Abm] part of you
You bet your life on this wicked truth
Someone is thinking wicked truth
Keep your head high
Prong Pooh, I'm here till I die
Prang Pooh, don't need to pretend
Prang [Gb] Pooh, [Abm] keep your common sense Prang Pooh

Our days are full of days and nights
Don't put yourself in such chains
Who can adjust in life
When people tend to be so rude?

mama [Abm] brought me in a ghetto
There was no [Gb] mattress [Abm] for my head
But no she couldn't name Jesus
I wasn't [Bb] wild [Abm] enough, she said
And then she made me down
Prong [Gb] [Abm] Pooh, don't have to explain it now
Prong Pooh, don't know how you take me down
Prang [Gb] [Abm] Pooh, I'm just trying to save you now Prang Pooh
