FAIRY TALES - CHIKA, BJ The Chicago Kid

Yeah

If fairytales are true, yeah

Fairy tales are stories with lessons and allegories

That tell us about the world that could be

But I see no mention of bad shorties or niggas sippin' on forties

No heroes inside a book look like me

I don’t ever mourn my childhood

Know my folks is happy that they child good

Imperative a narrative reflect what’s up in my hood

Figured that the remedy is simple

Let’s make a couple hits for all the kids that need a symbol

Let’s remind them that they matter, the media can chatter

And peer into their lives to form statistics, like we data

Spin a yarn 'bout candy ladies or 'bout waking up on Saturday

Mama blasting gospel, cleanin' house gon' take 'bout half the day

Afterwards, we pass a J, think of all who passed away

Smoke blown out the window

That’s a sin, though, know what Pastor say

In services 'til late noon, wafers paired with grape juice

Create a classic spittin' 'bout some shit we can relate to

'Cause ain’t nobody talking bout a beanstalk, nigga

Lemme tell you when the threes drop, nigga

We get higher than the treetops, nigga

Pied Piper gone to jail because the streets talk, nigga

Role models only real until the beat stop, nigga

Karens love the coloreds if it’s Deepak, nigga

But her walls so dry, call it sheet rock, nigga

This is heat rock, bigger than the world that I’m livin' in

If I gotta kill a beat, I’ll make it deliberate

Fee fi fo fum, we live, go dumb

Get a little streetwear, now you think you know some

Show and tell, dress up, little weird after you four-some

Fiendin' for oppression, I can really let you hold some

Better bet they show they ass, better bet I throw sum

Jumpin' through the hoop like an acrobat

Then a nigga jump into the booth after passin' that

My people the truth and so it’s true, they be after that
