I Be lyrics

[Chorus]

Just, just in case you don't know who we be

Just, just in case you don't know who we be

It's the crew who represents nicely

State to state, no matter what city

Can't you see, it's us that's rockin' yo' world

I be, I be, I be Coffee, I be, I be, I be Bon'

Me, I run the playin' field

Me, I be ownin' the throne

He be, he be, he be Coffee, he be, he be, he be Bon'

Me, I do it nicely

Me, I be heir to the throne

[Verse 1: Coffee]

Y'all wanna hear it? Naw, y'all don't wanna hear it

You don't want Coff-deezy, jump up, get up easy

Purple giant, death defiant, but I creep up on you quiet

Me animator, slowly we raisin' the dead

Complicator of clause plans, schemes, scandalous, curious things

How can you hand various things?

Vicarious beings?

What?

Rollin' around these hills on account of countless of feels

Of raw deals, I'm after the cheapest of thrills

Killin' off a slew of folk, watchin' 'em all fall

But really man, yo, it's you a choke

Ghoulish like Orenthal, do my best to hit yo' region

Rollin' deep like we was legion for a season

We will let be leavin'

Karma heazin' steady breathin'

[Chorus]

Just in case you don't know who we be

It's the crew who represents nicely

State to state, no matter what city

Can't you see, it's us that's rockin' yo' world

I be, I be, I be Coffee, I be Bon', I be Pettidee

(Check it out cuz)

He be, he be Coffee, he be Bon', he be Pettidee

(Bonavilles)

[Verse 2: Pettidee]

One for the projects, two for the thugs

Three for the king pin sippin' ear drums

Over Damascus where he turned me around

Put a word in ma mouth and a sound

(Get down)

[?] pop the Glock [?]

Lick shots [?]

Praise God we ain't destructive no more

[?]

Let yo' mind take you to the end of the road

Choose to do right but chose to get blowed

Educate ya' mind to young to know code

Grits and Pettidee be squad like Flipmode

[Chorus]

Just, just, just in case you don't know who we be

It's the crew who represents nicely

State to state, no matter what city

Can't you see, it's us that's rockin' yo' world

I be, I be, I be Coffee, I be, I be, I be Bon'

Me, I run the playin' field

Me, I be ownin' the throne

He be, he be, he be Coffee, he be, he be, he be Bon'

Me, I do it nicely

Me, I be heir to the throne

[Verse 3: Bonafide]

I'm the one they call Bonafide

City boy countrified

Known for that southern fide

Bring it to you, any, however you want it, I got it

Get it and never escape, give it up slow brah

Checkin' for yo' soul brah

You stumble down the wrong road

Steppin' on the wrong toes

Now we 'bout to get it right

Stitch it up, switch it up

Pettidee click it up

Nashville show me love

Jacksonville it's ya' boy

Sandalwood put it up

Clearin' out the smoke screen

Step into the unseen

Sober from that sticky green

Wrap it up like I still beem

Scotty what's the situation?

(The fun years of desperation)

Well let 'em know we on location ready for the confrontation

[Chorus]

Just in case you don't know who we be

It's the crew who represents nicely

State to state, no matter what city

Can't you see, it's us that's rockin' yo' world

I be, I be, I be Coffee, I be, I be, I be Bon'

Me, I run the playin' field

Me, I be ownin' the throne

He be, he be, he be Coffee, he be, he be, he be Bon'

Me, I do it nicely

Me, I be heir to the throne

Just in case you don't know who we be

It's the crew who represents nicely

State to state, no matter what city

Can't you see, it's us that's rockin' yo' world

I be, I be, I be Coffee, I be, I be, I be Bon'

Me, I run the playin' field

Me, I be ownin' the throne

He be, he be, he be Coffee, he be, he be, he be Bon'

Me, I do it nicely

Me, I be heir to the throne

Just in case you don't know who we be

It's the crew who represents nicely

State to state, no matter what city

Can't you see, it's us that's rockin' yo' world

I be, I be, I be Coffee, I be, I be, I be Bon'

Me, I run the playin' field

Me, I be ownin' the throne

He be, he be, he be Coffee, he be, he be, he be Bon'

Me, I do it nicely

Me, I be heir to the throne

[Outro]

Sister, girl, you must be trippin

Falling head over heals for a man who don't love you,

Don't know God and don't want to do either

Letting him wine and dine you

Small price to pay to get the divine

A modern day tale of casting pearls before swine

No wonder you figure all men are dogs

Your brokenness, his neediness has brought you to this conclusion

But, mah, there's another solution

After all, men are made in the image of God even if they are delusional

Set higher goals (mm)

Godly, ambitious, educated brothers do exist

You just can't see 'cause your vision's twisted

Close your eyes and I'll paint a picture for a man who

Ain't posted up in clubs trying to get your number

Who looks at your set of eyes, not the predictable others

Who prays to God for his Queen and so he ain't impressed with hair weaves,

Short dresses, bling, and superficial things

He knows a dime piece doesn't come with a price tag on her tail but virtue in her heart

Something that he discovered on his knees before God, not you

So you want a good man? Here's what you do

Button up that shirt, loosen up those pants, opt for steppin',

Instead of latest bootie dance

When an unusual suspect comes at you, give him a chance

Kings don't rock crowns and crowds, for what? They're more secure than that

Ask God what you need and not your girl

To remember you determine your self-worth

Make the necessary sacrifices, even when it hurts

Oh, and get dog out of your vocab

God and his world priesthood can hear your every word

To think D-O-G spells M-A-N is beyond absurd

Ya heard?
