Pip Skid - I Can't Front Lyrics
[Verse One]The beads used to hang from my neck, red, black and greenPlus an African medallion, know what I mean?In love with people I've hardly seen, denying that I'm whiteCould've been that my rap tail was braided too tightAnd when I stepped into the pharmacy to get jheri curl juiceThe woman whispered "This is only for the Negros to use."And Welcome New shaved me up a 3rd Base like MC SerchSurrender flag glowing white like the bark of a birchIt only hurts so much and the system gets defensiveHair cut costs ten bucks but it's really much more expensiveMurder and John Smith, they used to listen to Mobb DeepAnd pose in the mirror with a pair of my four fronts on their teethLip syncing to Mac [?] throwing up a gun clapAfter a show this guy tells me he only likes white rapNeeds a slapI'm trying to stop the sickness as it spreadsI remember walking around Brandon in fake dreadsBeing confrontedThis dude should've squashed me like zucchiniLeaving filthy tags all over and calling it graffitiStealing Al B. Sure out on my rap tape huntNow I'm still in effect but yo I ain't gonna front[Hook]{French}I wanted to be down {x8}[Verse Two]This limp that I acquired, it was not an injuryWord Up was my window to the rap industryWrote the Donald D fan club, but nobody answered backAnd I forgave the crew when Everlast dropped 'I Got The Knack'Wishing I was blackBut never challenged my fearsRan out and got hoops pierced into both of my earsGetting called a "fag", whitey's burden ain't that hard to carryMy mom trying to throw out my By All Means NecessaryStep dad yelling, "Cut out the African jungle shit"Took a long time to figure out why I didn't fitA Bud Bundy, Zebrahead, hot dog bunWith inside-out overalls on with one strap undoneReading Malcolm X, listen to X-Clan and Nice & SmoothCraving black attention like I got something to proveLook at me, look at me, I'm not like all the restI kinda sound like Beastie Boys, House Of Pain or Farm FreshI won't front, I used to rock LA Raiders gearBut now it's much more clear, the white race traitor is here[Hook]
