Nappy Headed Boy

[Chorus:]
Just a little nappy headed boy from the city
I open my eyes to see things pretty
Ooh, mama said boy your life won't be easy
But I promise it's worth it, promise it worth it, mmm

[Verse 1:]
These days are shorter now
Friends come and go and I
Can't help it but wonder
Oh no no no

So I'm taking this chance and looking back
Taking this moment where I'm at
Thanking the ones that had my back
Ooh, oh

[Chorus:]
Just a little nappy headed boy from the city
I open my eyes to see things pretty
Ooh, mama said boy your life won't be easy
But I promise it's worth it, promise it worth it, mmm

{Verse 2:]
Yeah, I'm reppin' the Erie (yah)
Houston, the Bayou city (squad)
Boston had so much to teach me (taught)
District of can you feel me

Grew right up and I'm licking my wounds
No one else couldn't tell me what to do
(no, oh, oh)
So I'm grateful for you
I'm so grateful for you

[Chorus:]
Just a little nappy headed boy from the city
(Nappy headed boy)
I open my eyes to see things pretty
(Nappy headed boy)
Yeah, Mama said boy your life won't be easy
But I promise it's worth it, promise it worth it, mmm

[Outro:]
Said I promise it's worth it, mmm
Said I promise it's worth it, worth it
Worth it, worth it
Said I promise it's worth it, worth it
Worth it, worth it
Said I promise it's worth it, promise it worth it, mmm
