letra de life gives you lemons - citizen kay

[verse 1]
uh, picture this, little kid, dark skin toned
among some light skins homies all day long
so unaware of what his people been through
so confused to a point where he would even be blue
red, yellow, anything but black, how ’bout that
stripped back of any pride for no reason in particular
would give anything to be light skinned, so insecure
would pay it with his soul if possibly that was simpler
so detached from his roots
being stereotyped was getting old, but couldn’t see it in his looks
uh, one fl1ck to the d-ck won’t bruise
times that by a thousand and maybe you’d feel it too
but luckily this child developed within
a thick skin surfaced and suddenly he was winning
beginning to understand how to react
keep cool, and this cruel world, it can’t pull you back, no!

[pre-chorus]
i’ve heard a whole lotta things throughout my life
things to pull me down, instead have made me fight
my homies wanna know how i don’t start flexing
i tell ’em it ain’t a secret, in fact, its one lesson, said

[hook]
“what you do, when life gives you lemons?
you just cut them f-ckas up in 20 seconds, don’t sweat it
so what you do, when life gives you lemons?
you just cut them f-ckas up in 20 seconds, don’t sweat it no
so what you do, when life gives you lemons?
you just cut them f-ckas up in 20 seconds, don’t sweat it no
so what you do, when life gives you lemons?
you just cut them f-ckas up in 20 seconds, don’t sweat it”

[verse 2]
i been called an animal, coulda caused collateral
damage but i handle it, better than most rambling
been looked at worse than a hood rat
grannies locked eyes with me but i ain’t never look back
like this individual probably a born criminal
actions are so predictable, att-tude so despicable
check him for that medicinal, crack probably is visible
blacks should be invisible, lack what is formidable
i just straight fall into that stereotype
black rapper cooking chicken, aw, that must be right
i can see it in their eyes like “you still here?
thought you was making money now?” see ’em spill tears
only of laughter, whisper to me only my disasters
’cause even close loves don’t believe i’m the answer
its like “maybe you should have a back up
industry’s kinda tough and it only gets tougher”
but you really don’t get it, see i’m on mission
your words i hear em but i really don’t listen
aw, na i ain’t worried, no i don’t trip one bit
to you my path seem dark but to me its lit

[pre-chorus]
i’ve heard a whole lotta things throughout my life
things to pull me down, instead have made me fight
my homies wanna know how i don’t start flexin
i tell ’em it ain’t a secret, in fact, its one lesson, said

[hook]
“what you do, when life gives you lemons?
you just cut them f-ckas up in 20 seconds, don’t sweat it, na
so what you do, when life gives you lemons?
you just cut them f-ckas up in 20 seconds, don’t sweat it” sax!

i’ve heard a whole lotta things throughout my life
