Spearhead - U Can't Sing R Song lyrics
Gramma this one's for you (stay strong)
 (Chorus) 
 (He's strong!) 
 Mama Mama Mama Mama I couldn't say "No" 
 (So strong!) 
 Got sick and tired of seein' brothers being treated ill 
 (He's strong!) 
 They say to chill they say my homey's not available 
 (Stay strong!) 
 I hear Mama they got him working on tha Payroll 
 (She's strong!) 
 Mama Mama Mama Mama I couldn't say "No" 
 (So strong!) 
 Got sick and tired of seein' sistas being treated ill 
 (She's strong!) 
 They say to chill, they say my homegirl's not available 
 (Stay strong!) 
 I hear Mama they got her working on tha Payroll 
 At 21 the brother "Smooth" he got a record deal 
 been working hard been writin' songs about the things he feels 
 he says it's real, 'cause I got bills, but I got skills 
 my deck is stacked, if I could only get my shit on wax 
 when it was ripe he took his tape up to the rec execs 
 they smoked cigars and rolled their eye's at him behind their specs 
 your shit is phat but I don't hear it in the format Jack 
 what's all this black crap check page twenty one of your contract 
(Chorus) Spearhead - U Can't Sing R Song - http://motolyrics.com/spearhead/u-cant-sing-r-song-lyrics.html
 A friend of mine Roberta she got a job at the post office 
 she was college edjamacated but got fired up at the law office 
 I'm all alone two kids at home, I need a job just any job 
 so I can get back on my feet like Tina "T"(urner) 
 the boss came up to her said, "why don't you come home with me" 
 I'd like to see you take off your clothes for me 
 she said "No way man!" 
 he said "You don't understand" 
 "You lose your life, you lose your job if you don't do this shift!" 
(Chorus)
 I met a black man who became a police officer 
 officer, officer, officer, officer, officer, overseer 
 he tried to tell me it was the only job available 
 either rob or join the mob 'cause I'm not salable 
 one night he went out on an undercover sting-ing 
 bought some smack tried to break the heroin ring-ring 
 Two cops white cops saw juggling goin' down 
 they spilled his brain like homey the fuckin' clown 
 (He's gone!) 
 Mama Mama Mama Mama I couldn't say no 
 got sick and tired of seein' people bein' treated ill 
 picked up my nines, walked up from behind 
 tapped two of them on the neck so I could meet their eyes direct 
 Pom! Pom! 
 I didn't do it for tha payroll 
(Chorus)
