Sippin' My Tea is motivation for myself and others to not allow ourselves to get caught up in the frustrating foolishness we see, but instead focus on ways to be apart of the change that impacts lives. Stop complaining about what you see happening and find ways to connect with your community to igni...
There's so much stuff that's happening around me (yeah, got my teacup)
I've realized that I can only change the things that I can reach ( got My teacup ready)
Everything else( ayee)
(Ai-ai-ai) just gone sip some tea on it hu-h
Mindin' my bidness
Watchin' from a distance
Yeah sippin' my
(yeah)
Sippin' my
I'm sippin' my tea
I've been bothered by all the moves that I'm seein
I never been the type to do a lotta' speakin'
Just watchin' while I'm workin' on what I can reach
Tryna build the warnin' signs
I'm tryna teach
Before the leaches
Before the border breeches
Before the fecal is fair by the lords of evil
Up on the corner sellin' greed by and by the liter
Before the child'll take a step she is filled wit' evil
Filled wit' adrenaline sippin' cola
Twerkin while momma holdin' the phone nuh
Sayin look at my girl
She better gon get it
So cute little black girl soldier
They feedin' little black girls poison
Keep it up, another black girl poor n
'Nother black girl torn
'Nother black girl loss
'Nother black girl woe
Wit a black girl gone
Who am I?
I'm just mindin' my bidness
(my bidness) (la laa)
I'm just watchin' from a distance
(la laaa) ( from a distance)
I don't get caught up in the middle
(la laaaa)( in the middle)
I just say my peace and keep it little
(la laaa) ( oh, keep it little)
I just sip my tea and keep my rhythm
(la laaaa) ( keep my rhythm)
I just sip my tea and keep my rhythm
(la laa, la laa, la laaa, la laaa, la laa, la laa) I just sip my tea and keep my rhythm ( sip my tea and keep my rhythm!) I just sip my tea and keep my rhythm ( sip my tea and keep my rhythm)

(I'm sippin' my)
Pour a little tea in'ere
(I'm sippin' my tea)( uh huh)
My chamomile(sip, sip, sip),(I'm sippin' my) (I'm still fed)
(sip sip sip) Put a lil peach (I'm sippin' my)(I'm sippin' my tea)
Let me tell you lil somn'
Lemme talk to you
Everybody know' the system
So it's no excuse
Better pick and choose
Girl what you tryna do?
You gotta life in your hands
You gotta lot to lose
Legs wide
Got him inside
Multiply (woah)
You really think that it's nice to be considered thot? (oh)
Am I wrong for the thought?
But why I'm wrong tho? ( whyy?)
It just don't make sense
Lift up your blindfolds
See what I see
Like where your time go
And imagine if you spent it made your mind grow
And spend your money on courses that build your cashflow
Then start investin' and flippin' and get your kid born
I find that it's most of us still broke
Still strugglin', hustlin', steal and kill folks
Reachin for highs but we are still low
Man, it would be nice if we would build but
Who am I?
I'm just mindin' my bidness
(my bidness) (la laa)
I'm just watchin' from a distance
(la laaa) ( from a distance)
I dont get caught up in the middle
(la laaaa)( in the middle)
I just say my peace and keep it little
(la laaa) (oh, keep it little)
I just sip my tea and keep my rhythm
(la laaaa) ( keep my rhythm)
I just sip my tea and keep my rhythm
(la laa, la laa, la laaa, la laaa, la laa, la laa) I just sip my tea and keep my rhythm ( sip my tea and keep my rhythm!) I just sip my tea and keep my rhythm ( sip my tea and keep my rhythm)
(yeahhh)

There's only so much we can do (I'm sippin' my)
