Nobody

[Intro: Termanology]
Yeah
Uh-huh
Statik Selektah
Uh

[Verse 1: Termanology]
Cut your face with the cheesegrater, chop up the kis later
My pocket is green paper, no free labor
In the rock with my Gs laid up, we plottin' on three capers
My drop with the deep Daytons is the greatest
Pistolwhip your face, now your teeth breakin'
We speed racin' in foreigns until police chase us
Heard you got a ghostwriter, now your speech tainted
It's deep, ain't it? We Freemasons
I need big green faces in all my briefcases
It's always somebody rich tellin' you, "Be patient"
They wiped out [?] and we ain't see nathin'
Not a single cent in reparations
Gettin' bent and blazin', that's the ghetto meditation
Would you rather worry your days or live in sedation?
2020, it's still segregation
Have you feelin' like you in the matrix
I survive on the basics of three dollar plates with
Scoop of rice, piece of meat and some plantain chips
Old school ass-whippin', boy my hands ancient
Fentanyl is what your gram's laced with
Uh, I walk around the town with my head high
Beantown back to Bedstuy
Called Tek, called Eto, now the record fire
With each line, I electrify

[Chorus: Black Thought]
Who lose? If you really ain't nobody 'til somebody love you
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of you
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of you
I say you ain't nobody
Who lose? If you really ain't nobody 'til somebody love you
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of-
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of you
I say you ain't nobody

[Verse 2: Eto]
Youngin's blamin' tradition for conditions that they livin' in
Thought they could step in the game without scrimmagin'
I brought the corner back, could only do it with diligence
Now it's the soldiers against the militants
Black [?] run down, let's lay the catwalk
Grocery bags over my boots, no path marked
Feds sweep the streets then the rest march
Then they draw chalk, that's crack art
Huh, yo, I hang where you hung
Can't come around same one gave you a gun
Can't lead you to the water, I could take you to some
Can't race where you run, ain't safe in the slums
Same rules apply, I'm hopin' they do
I know when they move, get back, he owe me some dues
True, pay homos when the tre pronto
Then a I play the cut in the safe condo

[Chorus: Black Thought & Tek]
Who lose? If you really ain't nobody 'til somebody love you
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of you
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of you
I say you ain't nobody
Who lose? If you really ain't nobody 'til somebody love you
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of-
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of you
I say you ain't nobody (It's March 9th)

[Verse 3: Tek]
My Bedstuy flow's malicious, food for dishes
I'm big dangerous, you're just a little vicious
Just a simple head nod, they at your headpiece
Can we have a moment of silence for the diseased?
You say you want war, [?] kick in your door
Have you and your bitch butt naked sprawled on the floor
With a potato on the 3-8-o, I give the say-so (Uh-huh)
You and your wack hoe is both gettin' facials
You're done, finito [?]
[?] Dominocano and negro flip the yayo
For big bank, I throw sixes, call the head [?]
Thousand dollar jeans, no socks, fly kicks, I rock that
With pieces [?] with a deuce on the dash
Middle finger to the police with a Glock in the stash
For whoever want it, I put a body on it
Y'all niggas stay mighty, I'm goin' [?]

[Chorus: Black Thought]
Who lose? If you really ain't nobody 'til somebody love you
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of you
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of you
I say you ain't nobody
Who lose? If you really ain't nobody 'til somebody love you
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of-
I say you ain't nobody 'til they speakin' highly of you
I say you ain't nobody
