Don't make me laugh, niggas funny

De la soul, from the soul

You can't duplicate the sound, boy

Don't make me laugh, niggas funny

Nigga: A noun, usually disparaging and offensive

A term used to refer to or address a black person

Don't make me laugh, niggas funny

Huh, funny, an adjective

providing fun, causing amusement or laughter

Or warranting suspicion like you motherfuckers

Don't make me laugh, niggas funny

She walk around with her top down

Let me talk in her ear, she know me as sop sound

Some do it for the culture

We do it for cultivating the mind that's knocked down

We worth millions but not millionaires

'Cause music industry rules are in disrepair, yet

Matrimony of time and body intervenes with wisdom

To right the wrongs of any would-be king

They offerin' a castle, but who owns the land?

Questions rarely asked in becoming a man

See, way back when, we were teens

and wide-eyed with the third one closed

While the nose is breathing up the glitz

tryna catch a whiff of the fame

And gather any shine on our name

But jealousy rained down

from those whose thoughts are never sunny

Saying (don't make me laugh, niggas funny)

It be that textbook hood dilemmas

When you 'bout to gain light

jealous ones want to install the dimmers

Now is the same as then

A nigga heart is on hate

while his face lies to you with a grin

It's where the evil liar lurks

watchin' others approving of your works

One too many praises raises their blood

with fermented frowns or a smirk

They throw mud while saying

(don't make me laugh, niggas funny)

And the elders steady telling the youth

That wisdom's being pulled out the hood

as if attached to a tooth

And now nerves exposed

Girls try to set the boys on the right track

they like: The nerve of them olds

I suppose when they were kids, they watched cartoons

And flew around their room like the man from krypton

As they got older, you know what some do

They separate red and blue and get their bloods and crips on

So many mesmerized by the mess

They hear the ringin' in their ears

That's the gods trying to align 'em

But unlike pianos, they choose

to be out of tune, so that's where you find 'em

A wrench with a stench for somebody else's come-up

Especially when our skin is indigenous to the sunup

I run up to write on the page of life

but they snatch it from me

while saying (don't make me laugh, niggas funny)

And on the other side of this

you have them funny-style niggas talkin' with a hiss

They fast and ugly, foul

And flashin' tryna get a reaction from the crowd, it's wild

To knock this kid on his ass, we're unallowed

All these bird niggas mincin' they words is runnin' 'round

Out here waitin' for the man like velvet underground

Smart brothers keep convincin' themselves to dumb it down

Pickin' poison off of bodega shelves to numb it now

Listen, when it get ugly quick, fast, and in a hurry

Sometimes it boil down to who had the biggest money

Or the one who philly wanted enough to get it from me

Think you hungry enough? (Don't make me laugh, niggas funny)

Look, I'm sick of following the masses

I'm sick of givin' up game

to niggas failin' classes, niggas lame

I'm sick of half-assed hip-hop flows, sick of passport bros

Sick of hoes with the same fat ass and short nose

Uh-oh, they comin' for me? Them clones wanna son me

But shorties with the cookies and scones

they love to love me

Probably why some clowns swear they supposed to mean-mug me

I mean, literally (don't make me laugh, niggas funny)

I'm from 5th and mckean

where people live in between horror and hell

Convince you that they just livin' the dream

Every day another reason to play the visitin' team

They say the meter to make it's if you can lift a machine

Where the stars don't shine bright and days ain't sunny

It's a struggle to fly right and claim victory

In the subtlest twilight, but that ain't shit to me

Check the history (don't make me laugh, niggas funny)

Don't make me laugh

Don't, don't make me laugh

Don't make me laugh, niggas, niggas funny

Don't make me laugh

Don't make me laugh
