"No Favors" lyrics
(performed by Lord Afrixana & DDG)
(from "Godfather Of Harlem: Season 2" soundtrack)
So, who turned down the lights?
I thought they'd wanna see me cry
I thought they'd rather see me die
They never tried and help me fly
Mama, there's wolves outside
She said: isn't that what you were made for?
You'd better learn to channel all your anger
Don't let them smell your fear when there is danger
Mama, there's wolves outside
Oh, darling, you're the one I've always prayed for
Even though I know you've got your blame for
Promise me that you won't do them any favors
No, no, no
Dark days in them heavy haze
Everybody wants the throne, but don't see the threats
Everybody wants a piece, but can't pay the debts
If there's a man who strikes spear in my heart, I ain't met him yet
Here in the valley of the motions
We pull you go and make a move, come consultors
And end up on an altar
Sacrificial lamb to the youngsters
Catch you while you slumber
But hiding in your bunker
Put them in the dirt like some cleats
We only know it's over when police bring them fresh white sheets
This is not a game for lames with cold feet
Either run the concrete, or get buried underneath
You can scream, but if no one's there to hear you [?]
Nothing sweet, either kill or be meat
For the dogs in the street who appreciate a beast
Shall we eat?
Mama, there's wolves outside
She said: isn't that what you were made for?
You'd better learn to channel all your anger
Don't let them smell your fear when there is danger
Mama, there's wolves outside
Oh, darling, you're the one I've always prayed for
Even though I know you've probably got your blame for
Promise me that you won't do them any favors
No, no, no
Fear no one, fear no men on [?]
Know yourself, know your plan, know your worth
I've been me, I've been him since my birthday
No one loves me for me, that's my curse
But I'm blessed, hmmm
God gave me these skills to be brave, I will never complain
I've been stabbed in my back so much that I feel used to the pain
Don't chase them, if they want to leave, then let them go
He gon smoke with me, but I've never met him though
If we ever meet, and I'm singing, that bored to the medical
Can we act the lames? I hold my name on a pedestal
When I get mad, I go from human to an animal
Yeah, I'm a dog, I'm a beast, I belong in the streets
What we kill, what we eat
Mama, there's wolves outside
She said: isn't that what you were made for?
You'd better learn to channel all your anger
Don't let them smell your fear when there is danger
Mama, there's wolves outside
Oh, darling, you're the one I've always prayed for
Even though I know you've got your blame for
Promise me that you won't do them any favors
No, no, no, no
I thought they'd wanna see me cry
I thought they'd rather see me die
They never tried and help me fly
Mama, there's wolves outside
She said: isn't that what you were made for?
You'd better learn to channel all your anger
Don't let them smell your fear when there is danger
Mama, there's wolves outside
Oh, darling, you're the one I've always prayed for
Even though I know you've got your blame for
Promise me that you won't do them any favors
No, no, no
Dark days in them heavy haze
Everybody wants the throne, but don't see the threats
Everybody wants a piece, but can't pay the debts
