Yo, one day my nephew came up to me, man, and he was like real distraught. He said kids was picking on him, man, cause he was getting high grades, man. They was hating on him. Said he was acting like the smarty odd cat. Like he was acting too smart for his own good. I told him this. These little crabs are hating on you cause you get high grades. Calling you a square because you wanna get all A's. You pay attention. I try not to give teacher the hard line. You do your homework every night and turn in on time. As a result, you start hearing words like. And they're getting on your case like it's a varsity sport. They ridicule you for them high marks in your product report. But what incentive are they giving you to be like them? What reason can they give you to underachieve like them? They tryna tell you what and what not to do. They'll ask you, so are they really looking out for you? They don't wanna see nobody doing better than them. Cause usually that person wants to work much harder than them. And they wanna put a hurting on you. Cause deep down they know that ten years from now they'll be working for you. But instead of elevating themselves, it's much easier to bring you down a notch or two. They wanna keep you from doing the things you gotta do to put up some wealth. Cause seeing you fail makes them feel good about themselves. Tell them crabs you're fly or that they think of you all the time. They mess with you. That means they got money on their mind. But to try to stop your shine is a waste of energy. Then get back on your grind and forget your enemies. Shake them crabs off baby, shake them crabs off. I heard the white are trying to take the hood back, well they can have it. I'm moving out to where I'm not gonna see so much madness. I'm leaving all of that right now if I could. Screw your crabs saying that I act too good for the hood well yeah. You must like shopping where they're robbing the store and crackheads beg for cheese when you stop at the door. You must enjoy buying alarms and lights for your house. Knowing someone's gonna try to break in while you're out. You must love going to bed with gunshots as a lullaby. Fear the world caravans because another youngster died. Boarded up houses with gang signs spray painted on them. Her brother wants to leave all that and you're hating on him? Go back and get your diploma then go and get your degree. Start yourself a little business up legitimately. Now stop hating on me for trying to elevate. I got miles to feed and you ain't putting nothing on my plate. Shake them crabs off baby shake them crabs off. So when's the last time you saw your favorite rapper, singer, ball player make it good? And still live in the neighborhood? What do they do with their million dollar contracts? They move the hell out and they're not trying to come back. You heard the stuff these rappers saying in their music. They do think they're still doing it too? Come on how stupid is you? Most of these angsta thug rappers with their criminal tales. Only feed your dad garbage cause it sells. Only time Weezy or Jeezy comes to the hood to sell us off. They're only trying to take your money. They ain't helping nothing and I don't blame them. Just let me get the opportunity to separate them fools from the money. But with me I'd rather raise them up to my level. Instead of trying to degrade them and make them feel inadequate for not having the baddest whip. Living your life in poverty you're satanic and I'ma sink it like a battleship. You can stay here if that's what you desire. But I'm setting my sights on something higher. So stop hating on them white collar jobs. Doing better for myself does not make me a snob. But hating on it does make you a crab. The type of dude in which I like to have the last laugh. But I'm not giving you my address when I move out. Cause I'll be damned if you break into my new house. Shake them crabs off baby shake them crabs off. I know all of y'all heard about that crab. But this whole thing's weird. All crabs try to climb out. All the other crabs mix up. Try to pour it back down. See that's the problem that we have as a community. That's a society man. The crowds always hate us for trying to get on us or trying to get up out of here man. Stop being a crab man. Shake them crabs off. Subs by www.zeoranger.co.uk
