Res

Sittin' Back

From How I Do2001

Written by Doc McKinney, Mr. Khaliyl, Santigold

Lyrics

Sittin' Back

[Chorus]

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that

[Verse 1]

So they call us stars, get that

Not all of us are chosen

And I drive a car with the top back

'Cause my vanity's my token

Now all this talkin' ain't my style

About some responsibilities

Like this here nation is my child

Like if it's [?] I'm ill at ease [1:11]

[Chorus]

So I be sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that

[Verse 2]

You talk about white children

Who kill their parents before school

But I'm talking pimped out Lex with the rims black

So when I drive by, I look cool

Goodness, the President's human

And you're all hypocrites

I think I'm jaded, make a sport of it

As I am numb now to the shit

[Chorus]

So I be sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that

[Bridge]

I just wanna blow up, then what?

Oh, baby, who knows who wins the game?

When I close my eyes, it looks all the same

Don't wanna know nobody's name

'Cause I'm goin' for dough when I go for game

'Cause I'm goin' for dough, that's why I'm sittin' back in the cut

Lookin' like somethin' you don't touch

I say, "Hand up," in the brush

You turn to face it all for what?

No, I ain't gonna be no hero, huh

I ain't gonna be no hero

I be sittin' back

[Chorus]

So I be sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that, nigga, what? This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut, lookin' fine

Look at that

[Outro]

Sittin' back in the cut

Lookin' fine, nigga what? Nigga what?

This shit is mine

Sittin' back in the cut

Lookin' fine, nigga what? Nigga, uh, nigga what?
