Lyrics
[Intro] Wooh, yeah, uh Da-dada-dada-dada-da Phife Diggy in the place to be Dada-dada-da Beat courtesy of 9th Wonder, uh huh yeah North Cackalack in the house I don't know what some people be thinking, fam (Da-dada-dada-dada-da) It's time to like, for real, for real? Grow up (Dada-dada-da) For real [Verse 1] Okay fam, you've got some explaining to do Three kids at home for self while you smokin' with crew? (C'mon) The iciest of jewels, three, four foreign whips Sending cash to random chick, can't take your seeds on a trip? They lookin' malnourished, you don't even care For dinner: bags of Funyuns, trail mix, gummy bears? You need your ass whooped, can't bе right upstairs Lookin' like a million bucks, won't do that baby girl's hair? Jordans one to twelvе, three pair each Basement full of equipment, I ain't heard one beat Baby mamas ain't no better, was hoping things would pan out But you frontin' like you Diddy, of course they got their hand out Send the kids to granny so the whole hood can hang out You the Don of the town, damn, what people do to stand out Spontaneous cookouts 'til them pockets hit a drought A cee-lo game turned bad? Your son's about to pull out [Chorus] Only a coward (Damn) You better get your ish together (Yeah) Only a coward, uh Understand you ain't gettin' no younger Only a coward (C'mon, man) Da-dada-dada-dada-da (Uh huh) Da-dada-dada-da (Right) Dada-dada-da (Right) Right (Now here we go) [Verse 2] Hey mama, tell me what's on your mind? His broke, drug-dealing ass is just a waste of your time Physical, verbal abuse is not cool Son ain't think about you, won't pick his kids up from school? I recall you rolling with son for that work (Uh huh) Amtrak'ing it for self, weekly rental from Hertz While you were doing his dirt, son was chasing them skirts And to make matters worse, for your sister he thirsts? What kills me is seeing your smile at the wedding Though, you knowingly knew how I wanted to dead him But I get it, you were happy 'bout being a wife But from jump, I knew son wasn't about that life And since I love you to death, and as your B-F-F He put his hands on you again, I'm bringing it to his chest Fronting like he got streets locked from B-more from Denver But the sound of the click-clack will make his ass surrender [Chorus] Fuckin' coward (C'mon son) You better get your ish together (Yeah) Only a coward, uh (Only a coward, baby) Understand that we ain't gettin' no younger Only a coward (Real talk) Da-dada-dada-dada-da (Uh, yeah) Da-dada-dada-da (Yeah, yeah) Dada-dada-da Heh-heh-heh-heh (Alright, now here we go) [Verse 3] Girl named Amina, UAB senior Born in B-Ham, raised in Charlotte Labeled as a harlot Graduating early, fine, yet surly Stripper at the palace, they call her Miss Pearly Hmm, wonder why? Fronting like she shy Future seem bright, ass just right Met the wrong dude, now she F'ing up in school Fast-forward, dropped out, two seeds popped out Dreams of Hollywood, wanted to be an actress Part-timer at The Vault, but made long moolah on that mattress Your porn star's favorite porn star and then some Lines of coke became a passion, fuck whoever, no Magnums? Shorty, word? That's how we livin'? Barely a pot to piss in? Disregarding your children? How a life full of promise gonna get up so horrid? Six-month preg, pop, pop, shorty forfeit? Shorty offed it? Damn, damn [Chorus] You better get your ish together Only a coward Understand that we ain't gettin' no younger Only a coward (Uh) Da-dada-dada-dada-da (Right) True Only a coward (Da-dada-dada-da) Dada-dada-da (Yeah, what?) [Outro] Da-dada-dada-dada-da Da-dada-dada-da (Woo) Dada-dada-da Da-dada-dada-dada-da Da-dada-dada-da (Woo) Dada-dada-da
