Raise a Glass ft. BKBB

Lyrics
& I don't need you, and you don't need me
cause the fact is I know I can manage.
and you call me names that you don't really mean.
cause you are just tryna manage

I still remember the first time we laid eyes
you said wossup, i replied with a delayed "hi"
told me your name and the city that you came from
I told you that i love music, how i made some
I still remember how we clicked in a minute
I was hooked in; surely had to you my mission
little did i know you were thinking the same
insane, the way we connected, it was never a game
fast forward. the freshest couple that has ever been
never seem to see nothing like this on the scene
we were radiant. bigger than the Michigan stadium
together we were toxic; a weapon like uranium
valium..took all my stress away
I'm still convinced that those were the best of days
you made your way up. nobody was above ya
and i was damn sure the day would come when i would love ya

& I don't need you, and you don't need me
cause the fact is I know I can manage.
and you call me names that you don't really mean.
cause you are just tryna manage

I still remember beginning to fall apart
I know we didn't wanna imagine having to part
but either way it happened. were doomed from the start
both wanted to be in love but that wasn't in our hearts
of course we did the usual-said we'd stay cool
and never be enemies, at least that was the rule
and that started off smooth, no light to fuel
and made the simple promise that we'd never turn cruel
but shit, it turned sick cause promises die quick
and that light to the fuel it blazed up in a click
and now i was a prick and a dick and an asshole
how the hell did it turn to shit like gastro
what 'bout everything that we spoke in the past though?
and everything you said you felt; is it past you?
damn. please tell me what happened
where's the love that I knew; and the passion

& I don't need you, and you don't need me
cause the fact is I know I can manage.
and you call me names that you don't really mean.
cause you are just tryna manage

yo...it's been a long, long time now
you do your own thing. I do mine now
and I know exactly what I need to find now
but every once in a while you're on my mind wow
and at times I wish that you were still here
standing right by me and never disappeared
though I know that I want, not need you
cause you still talk smack when I see you
but it's cool cause I know that it's still hard
and deep inside that you are still scarred
so ill let go the cruel chitta-chatta
and listen real close to the calm pitta-patta
of the music what more am  i meant to do
and for now close up my cold door to you
cause the truth is you just aint worth the bleed
and maybe one day i hope you follow my lead

& I don't need you, and you don't need me
cause the fact is I know I can manage.
and you call me names that you don't really mean.
cause you are just tryna manage

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Uh, picture this, little kid, dark skin toned
Among some light skins homies all day long
So unaware of what his people been through
So confused to a point where he would even be blue
Red, yellow, anything but black, how bout that
Stripped back of any pride for no reason in particular
Would give anything to be light skinned, so insecure
Would pay it with his soul if possibly that was simpler
So detached from his roots, 
Being stereotyped was getting old, but couldn't see it in his looks
Uh, one flick to the dick wont bruise,
Times that by a thousand and maybe you'd feel it too, ooo
But luckily this child developed within
A thick skin surfaced and suddenly he was winning
Beginning to understand how to react
Keep cool, and this cruel world, it can't pull you back, no!

Pre-Chorus:
I've heard a whole lotta things throughout my life
Things to pull me down, instead have made me fight
My homies wanna know how I don't start flexing
I tell 'em it aint a secret, in fact, its one lesson, said

Hook:
What you do, when life gives you lemons?
You just cut them fuckas up in 20 seconds, don't sweat it (x4)

Verse 2:
I been called an animal, coulda caused collateral
Damage but i handle it, better than most rambling
Been looked at worse than a hood rat
Grannies locked eyes with me but I aint never look back
Like this individual probably a born criminal
Actions are so predictable, attitude so despicable
Check him for that medicinal, crack probably is visible
Blacks should be invisible, lack what is formidable
I just straight fall into that stereotype
Black rapper cooking chicken, aw, that must be right
I can see it in their eyes like "You still here?
Thought you was making money now?" See 'em spill tears
Only of laughter, whisper to me only my disasters
Even close loves don't believe I'm the answer,
its like "Maybe you should have a back up
Industry's kinda tough and it only gets tougher"
But you really don't get it, see I'm on mission
Your words I hear em but I really don't listen
Aw, na I aint worried, no I don't trip one bit
To you my path seem dark but to me its lit

Pre-Chorus:
I've heard a whole lotta things throughout my life
Things to pull me down, instead have made me fight
My homies wanna know how i don't start flexin
I tell 'em it aint a secret, in fact, its one lesson, said

Hook:
What you do, when life gives you lemons?
You just cut them fuckas up in 20 seconds, don't sweat it, na
What you do, when life gives you lemons?
You just cut them fuckas up in 20 seconds, don't sweat it, SAX!
