Shawty Songtext
von Grits

Tell me what′s happening with you, Shawty
What's happening?
What′s happening with you, Shawty?
What's happening?
Tell me what's happening with you, Shawty
What′s happening?
What′s happening with you, Shawty?
What's happening?
Tell me what′s happening with you, Shawty
What's happening?
What′s happening with you, Shawty?
What's happening?


What′s happening, Shawty?
I ain't seen you 'round in a minute
You look growed up and swolled up, and looking contented
I saw your mom′s around the way
What′s Lakeisha doing?...Oh, ya'll ain′t together no more?
For real man?
I can't believe she over there staying with Joe, cause didn′t his door just get kicked in?
I thought he just get out the pen and going back again
I heard he ain't gonna do no less than ten
That′s a shame, man; the game done put another one down
And truth to tell: you 'bout three feet and half way in the ground
Dog, you better than this; don't let that money make you no fool
By now you could of graduated and been finished with school
But, anyway, I just wanted to try to say my little piece
Don′t be deceived, boy, you ain′t gonna find no love in these streets
And that heat you hold ain't nothing but false power and control
And that drone gonna keep you blind from the potential in your mind
Look, man, I ain′t your daddy, and ain't trying to be neither
But I love you like you′re mine, and I want you to see
You wanna be a man, then face the one that's given you life and live to do his will, cause, Shawty, that′s what's happening for real
For real

Tell me what's happening with you, Shawty
What′s happening?
What′s happening with you, Shawty?
What's happening?
Tell me what′s happening with you, Shawty
What's happening?
What′s happening with you, Shawty?
What's happening?
Tell me what′s happening with you, Shawty
What's happening?
What's happening with you, Shawty?
What′s happening?


What′s the hasp?
Perhaps you're spent from all them laps and caps and peaks
Have to speak my mind; carrying these thoughts for weeks
How do I get through to a nation who lost?
Ain′t got no indication
Intimidation when I'm facing, pacing
Strategically, man, your relation
So many gutter-minded, big-behinded
Expose the evils they themselves are giving life to
Mirrored image, look just like you
Boy, you just a pawn, scripted part like Goldie Hawn
Playing a role with no control, cashing cheques your name ain′t on
Got that real, that raw, dopest catch you ever saw
Congruent with that shine, a fluent country boy from Arkansas
Grateful to be here, pre-destined, manifesting blessings, learn life lessons
Know your place and role; quite second guessing

Tell me what's happening with you, Shawty
What′s happening?
What's happening with you, Shawty?
What's happening?
Tell me what′s happening with you, Shawty
What′s happening?
What's happening with you, Shawty?
What′s happening?
Tell me what's happening with you, Shawty
What′s happening?
What's happening with you, Shawty?
What′s happening?
