The Onus (What You Are) - Pep Love

Now you can blame it on the blunts and beer

Or my utter lack of fear when I’m draggin in her ear

Like, ain’t no commitments girl, we just kickin it right?

Laughin at the prophylactic I just slipped it inside (ahh)

Cause I ain’t trippin I like runnin raw daddy

Not knowin nine months from that moment I’ll be called daddy

All mad and indignant when I heard the news

Cursin, trippin but it was COOL when I was diggin it

But now it’s bitch (BEEITCH!) this and it’s ho that

And it’s a lot of other words that I can’t hold back

Man I don’t want no kids, girl you KNOW that

But shit, you barely know my name let alone where my dome at

We got it on way before that

Didn’t know, or hadn’t even seen her sober

Only thought in my mind was getting over

Now the seed a sewed her bout to drop (woo!)

And all I do is clutch my bottle and wallow in sorrow

With each swallow, livin for yesterday (man FUCK tomorrow!)

All my accusations and allegations, they ring hollow

Cause I ain’t got nobody in the world to blame but me (I know, I know)

(Pep Love)

What you are is what you do

You better watch yourself cause they’re watching you

Your own mistakes could be your biggest obstacles

But if you believe, you can achieve the impossible

(Pep Love) and

(And if you don’t know what to do that’s on you (on you))

(And if you’re without a clue that’s on you (on you))

(Pep Love)

He always wanted to have shit

Cause this nigga never had shit

It, even influenced him to get into bad shit

Like, shoplifting and, party crashin

All for the cash and fashion, he smashin

But, he was smarter than the average shit starter

Had it all planned out, how he was going to Harvard

Hard as it seems, he was working toward his dreams

But still into things, never for the surrendering

So (so), when the wind blows, his ten toes, wiggle

And then he’s out of his bedroom window

Livin in the moment doing whatever he wanted

When his homework is done, he’s in another zone

With his crimies, breakin into cars and houses

Thinkin his getaway’s clean, but how’s about this?

One of his boys got caught and snitched

Sayin that he was the mastermind of all this shit

The same day, his letter of acceptance came

The boys came to get him as his mother stood breathless

He couldn’t explain, hung his head in shame

Later found his college career was down the drain

Even though he beat the case, it was all over

The local newspaper, a complete disgrace

It read «Teen Prodigy Suspect In Robbery

Young, black and intelligent, somewhat of an oddity» (oddity)

When he went to visit the school, the dean of admissions was like

«Sorry, you’re not Harvard material»

Plus, you have an arrest record at best (at best)

Reflecting a decadent past, application rejected."

(Pep Love) and

(And if your pockets is flat, that’s on you (on you))

(If you dazed and confused, that’s on you (on you))

(Pep Love) and

(Yo, what you are is what you do)

(They're thinkin of washin you)

(To keep a failsafe in your arsenal)

(So recognize)

(Run over your own)

(You can get caught up in a bind)

(People are so intrusive)

(But yet, you shall be judged)

(Every time you held a grudge)

(A nigga too loud to hush)

(Tryin ta be a stud-muffin when you really a powder-puff)

(I guess you didn’t think the consequences was vile enough)

long range

(Look into your own thang)

(And if you don’t know what to do that’s on you (on you))

(And if you’re without a clue, that’s on you (on you))

(Pep Love) and

(And if your pockets is flat, that’s on you (on you))

(If you dazed and confused, that’s on you (on you))

Know what I’m sayin?

Niggas always want to point the finger

And they point the finger at the man in the mirror, psych out, yeah
