4-23. Spider Loc - When I Get Angry (From Madden 2006)

HOOK (repeat 2x)
Who you gonna run to? Who you gon’ go get?
I’m a grown-ass man, you can’t tell me shit.
Who you gonna run to? Who you gon’ go get?
I’m a grown-ass man, you can’t tell me shit.

VERSE 1 (20 bars)

1. Who you gon’ “tell” on me—like I’m grounded from recess?


2. I pay my own bills; your report card don’t impress.


3. Mad ’cause I said “no”? Go ahead, go file your feelings—


4. Put it in a folder named “Control” with a password you keep missin’.


5. You threaten “I’m gon’ call”—call who? The Adult Police?


6. I been grown so long my knees got seniority.


7. I don’t do permission slips, I do decision flips—


8. Turn your ultimatum into origami, then I pitch it.


9. You want authority? Go buy it—mine came with age,


10. Yours come with a tantrum and a “look at me” page.


11. I’m 54, I done outlived peer pressure and trends—


12. I don’t fold for a rumor, I iron it and wear it again.


13. You tryna shame me? That’s a boomerang with no string—


14. Come back, hit your ego, now you mad at everything.


15. “I’ma tell!”—tell the mirror you hate my calm—


16. I’m grown… the only thing you can “tell” is I’m unbothered, dawg.
17) I outgrew fear when my beard turned salt,
18) You still threaten consequences you don’t even control.
19) This ain’t rebellion, it’s the freedom tax paid in full—
20) You can’t discipline a man who already pulled his own wool.

VERSE 2 (20 bars)

1. I’m grown-grown, not “act grown” ’cause I got a loud tone—


2. I got receipts older than your whole backbone.


3. You playin’ messenger? That’s cute—little carrier pigeon,


4. Tryna fly my business around town like it’s a mission.


5. But who you gon’ run to when the truth start joggin’?


6. I’m the “end of discussion” button—stop clockin’.


7. You want leverage? You need weight—yours helium talk,


8. Mine concrete—when I speak, even silence take notes.


9. I don’t argue with threats, I negotiate with boundaries—


10. Put a “Do Not Disturb” sign on your whole lil’ story.


11. You say “I’m gon’ expose you”—expose what, my grown?


12. I ain’t hidin’—I’m outside, daylight, ringtone.


13. I mastered the art of “nah” with a laugh on top—


14. That’s a double entendre: I’m “grown” and I “won’t be stopped.”


15. So go ahead, tell whoever—make it a group chat blast—


16. Drop-the-mic: can’t “tell on” a man who wrote his own class.
17) I don’t flinch at gossip, that’s toddler currency,
18) You spend it loud, I invest in my certainty.
19) You mad ’cause the leash broke? Nah, it never fit—
20) I’m a grown-ass man… tell who? You can’t tell me shit.
