Ebony - Paris

Once again my friend I try 
to help improve another brother's life 
by coming through with the righteous groove 
Tells right from wrong  makes people move 
Not  idiot crossover songs 
That appeal to all and make you sing along  no 
This one is for the chosen few 
who want to build and uplift my people too  so 
Listen to the words I speak 
Cause the words are truth and truth's what I teach 
By talkin bout the things that I see 
When talkin bout this color called ebony 

This ebony 

Not sellin drugs, I'm above a thug 
Killin off his own, tryin to make a buck, naw 
That ain't the way it's done today 
Gotta come together and gotta educate 
Gotta, uplift, lift up your head 
Stand strong and proud, don't end up dead 
Take time to make that move 
Be sure to be straight and you'll improve 
Live long, be strong, and you'll see 
That better is a life lived long and carefree 
Just stay on a righteous path 
You'll see the truth and won't have to ask why 
I don't make the rhymes that say 
how ignorant brothers act nowadays 
I just talk about the things that I see 
When talkin bout this color called ebony 

This ebony 

Now break 

Smooth 

Now I want y'all to listen, see what you're missin 
What lacks in the competition is 
strong words, of pride and unity 
I'm glad that y'all in tune to me 
I'm here to let y'all know 
P-Dog is sick and I'll run the show 
By talkin bout the things that I see 
When talkin bout this color called ebony 

This ebony 

Smooth
