The Dopeman's Son

from Excellency by Saukar

/

lyrics

Rest in peace to my Dad
To all the dealers & the kingpins in the building
To real men who take care of they children

I'm the Dope Man’s son. I don't like antics
Cool in the spot. I don't get frantic
I done seen it all but ain't crossed the Atlantic
The game wants your love but you can’t be romantic

Gunru caked up. They been on that white
Flour power on the stove make 'em feel right
When I tried to go to sleep as a little kid
Dealing in the basement was all he ever did
Black in a White town but ain’t nobody scared
My Dad said his best customers is out there
Rolling through the hood 82 Bonneville
Gotta keep connections cause the streets talk for real
We staying in school. He all about our grades
And during football practice he always stayed
We don’t talk back cause he hard with the belt
Family vacations were used to reinvest
He’s cool with everybody. I'm cool with everybody
Cause money don’t discriminate when they wanna party
Got land in the South but he left it to his people
My Dad was original... they’ll never be a sequel

I'm the Dope Man’s son. I don't like antics
Cool in the spot. I don't get frantic
I done seen it all but ain't crossed the Atlantic
The game wants your love but you can’t be romantic
Ain't no love in this at all, man
The game wants your love but you can’t be romantic
Dollar bills, yall. Dollar dollar bills, yall
The game wants your love but you can’t be romantic

His favorite connect lived out on a farm
While we rode horses, he rolled up a charm
I told him Nancy Reagan said Just said No
He told me that the yesses paid for all of my clothes
He made me listen to Malcolm X & politics
Or Herbie Hancock when he rolled up a spliff
Not a rolling stone. He always came home
When his eyes was red you could tell what he on
My Dad used to be happy. Dealing made him change
Especially when cops raided the crib for the cane
Even heavy snow gets on top of a mountain
And in the end, all the heavy snow is what got him
The stress and anxiety will always take a toll
Death by heart attack at 43 years old
I don’t play the game because I know the whole board
And the price of success is something I can’t afford

Nah, nah, nah, I don't want that, man
I don't like antics
Cool in the spot. I don't get frantic
I done seen it all but ain't crossed the Atlantic
The game wants your love but you can’t be romantic
You can't stay up in this. It's all about the hustle, man
The game wants your love but you can’t be romantic
This goes out to everybody doing their hustle
I see you
Remember to do this for the right reasons
Get in, get out
Before it take your life
For real
