Defari - Rare Poise

(I wanna be like you, Goldie)
Hey, look here, I told you about that (Yes)
I don't ever wanna hear you saying that again
(Okay) and that goes for the rest of you
You wanna be my partner
I don't wanna hear you say that
Look here, you can be a lawyer
You can be a doctor
You can be anything you wanna be
But I don't ever wanna hear you
Say you wanna be like me, okay?
Now let me give you some of this money
Now 'cause I gotta get outta here
Be cool now, just be cool, baby
You've been staying in school, huh? (yeah)
Okay, drop it, here, take care of that
And give that to your sister, hear?

I'm not him, or is next of kin
I'm me, a special blend
Yellow mack, a mellow cat
Pour my guests a nice glass of Gentle Jack
I never gave a fuck
They always loved a nigga
I broke a lotta hearts, you a mean nigga
Nah, I just dream bigger
Seen the scene different
I mean, I had to give the world these izms
We've been so killer, ain't no secret
Rest in peace, my nigga Felix
Niggas weak and they can't see us
Please believe this
I'm stock invested, city tested
Certified local legend
I've lost some friends
I walked away from a jobs
Ran through a few broads
I push the Benz, ran through a few cars
Played on a few squads

I always show respect
They always loved a brother
Rare poise, focused like none other
I gave 'em hope for angels
Lost from every angle
Give a fuck what he thought
That nigga is a stranger
I made him compromise, made him negotiate
Made him sit down and eat, grab my own plate
So I can have a steak, you know, a dividend
I mean, my life at stake
This one I'm livin' in
You niggas be off balance
With some questionable talents
And act good ol' in the
Streets, you off balance, you a weirdo
I'm soul mixed with that, pop mixed with rap
I kept it calm on the hood
When dude pulled a strap

I'm not him, or his next of kin
I'm me, a special blend
Yellow mack, a mellow cat
Pour my guests a nice glass of Gentle Jack
