Bake a big yam (Sugar) Lyrics by One Be Lo

Baby (Being a black youth)

0

Verse 1
Now I can't say that I remember
But i'm still gonna try to paint a picture
What happened on the day I was delivered
My daddy wasn't there with a cigar
But granny she was there with a camera
And she still got the pictures
Cried so much
She could prolly make a river
The first grandson of the litter
Wipe his spit up
The greatest babysitter
A lover not a fighter
Not a taker but a giver
ABC's say it with him
Some say it's wisdom
Not an alchemist
Couldn't turn nothin gold
But she could make it glitter
Silence is gold
And her words like Silver
Every Sunday morning
She engaged in the scriptures
Warm smile on her face
You can feel it
Sunday afternoon
She could bake or use the skillet
And me I couldn't wait for the visit
She kept something sweet
But you gotta come and get it
Come and kiss her
Chorus
La la la laaa
La la la la
She used to call it Sugar
Like Ray with the fist
La la la laaa
La la la la
The one who helped change
When your diapers fulla ish
La la la laaa
La la la la
I know you’re getting grown
But you’re never too big
La la la laaa
La la la la
Cuz if it wasn't for her
You wouldn't exist
La
Laaa
Verse 2
I used to keep a drool
But not now i'm eating food
And now i'm thinking in school
And now I think I'm cool
And now me and my friends started hanging
Started riding BMX's
Thinking
We’ the ones
We’ the young
We’ the restless
Used to play that Tic Tac Toe
With the pencil
Now i'm on the Sega Genesis
And Nintendo
Sports with the fashion
Shorties with the fat butts
Homies in the handcuffs
Need to pull their pants up
Didn't know it all
But we did know enough
How to roll a blunt
How to get some guts
How to throw a punch
When the going get tough
Pick a side or get back
Get fronted
Get bucks
Older people getting old
We’re just growing up
The generation gap
Wasn't open for discuss
We didn't really speak
In the middle of the week
But I seen her every Sunday
Better kiss her on the cheek
Chorus
La la la laaa
La la la la
She used to call it Sugar
Like Ray with the fist
La la la laaa
La la la la
The one who helped change
When your diapers fulla ish
La la la laaa
La la la la
I know you’re getting grown
But you’re never too big
La la la laaa
La la la la
Cuz if it wasn't for her
You wouldn't exist
La
Laaa
Verse 3
We got one still with us on my Mammy side
The only time I seen my step daddy cry
Is when my granny died
All the times she was going to the hospital
Took it all for granted
Didn't know her death was possible
Was it her health or her stress?
Some members in your family
They can make you worry yourself to death
I know I wasn't the worse
But far from the best
But she showed us all love
Biggest heart up in her chest
I'm sitting at her funeral
Feeling unusual
She’s laying there sleeping
Looking peaceful and beautiful
Natural
Outside, I look cool casual
Inside, EMOTIONS you could type in all capitals
Deeply missed
By her kin and her friends
I felt tears on my cheek
Yo I couldn't pretend
Gave her one for the road
I know that this is the end
But if I make it up to heaven
Immo kiss her again
Chorus
She used to call it Sugar
Like Ray with the fist
She used to call it Sugar
Like Ray with the fist
She used to call it Sugar
Like Ray with the fist
She used to call it Sugar
Like Ray with the fist
