Pistachio
Cappadonna Lyrics

I was born on a sunny day, Birds chirping
I was born during a peaceful time and good weather, with the doctor working diligently to bring me into the world.

The doctors putting they work in
The doctors worked hard to ensure that I was born healthy.

I arrived during hard times most certain
Despite my peaceful birth, the world around me was filled with challenges and difficulties.

Grateful never hateful, I don't have to debate with you
I am thankful and positive in life, unwilling to engage in petty arguments or negativity.

I brought this to get you back in the groove
I made this music to inspire and uplift you.

This one is for the Arabics and the Jews
This music is for everyone, regardless of ethnicity or religion.

Listen to my song, Slang Terra-Don
Take a listen to my music, which is full of unique slang and my personal style.

Show em how to be strong, Never stay in the wrong
My music empowers listeners to be strong and confident, always doing what is right.

A doctrine to hold your towel tight
My music provides a set of principles to live by, like holding onto a towel tightly and not letting go.

I speak light, Never speak white, I'm from the project
I come from a less privileged background, but my music is full of positivity and hope.

If you don't live there you don't know what it's like
Unless you are from where I come from, you cannot fully understand the challenges and experiences I have faced.

Where I come from these streets don't give a fuck about you
The environment I grew up in is unforgiving and harsh, not caring about anyone's well-being.

Stay low, Get your own paper, Absorb the elements
To succeed in my neighborhood, you need to work hard, stay out of trouble, and learn from your surroundings.

Remain calm and intelligent, Come on God, That shit is irrelevant
In any situation, keeping a level head and being smart is important, despite any negativity or obstacles.

My mind build escalators inside of your head like television
My music has the power to transport you to new places and open your mind.

Hella vision, I could feed you with the street shit
My music has a lot of knowledge and wisdom from my upbringing in the streets.

Our niggas get hit with the heat quick, The beef is thick
Violence is a common occurrence in my community, and conflicts can turn dangerous quickly.

He got hit with the police sticks, Reach for the splif
Even the police can be violent in my neighborhood, and smoking marijuana is a common coping mechanism.

Before he went down he peeped on his kicks
Even in dire situations, people are still concerned with their appearance.

We write lyrics (that the streets like)
Our music resonates with the experiences and struggles of the streets.

{We don't come with that bullshit}
We don't make fake or insincere music.

Cause ya'll niggas thinking it's right.
Despite what some may think, we know what real music is.

Life's a struggle, To me it's like ohh God
Life is tough and challenging, sometimes feeling like a test from God.

And I'm tryna live in a place we know it's so hard
Despite the difficulties, I am trying to make a life for myself in this harsh environment.

I reminisce on birthdays and old cars
I look back on my memories of simpler times, like birthdays and old cars.

And tell Momma I love her whenever I go far
I always let my mother know that I love her, even when I am away.

I set my kids like, Daddy be back soon
I reassure my children that I will be back soon.

And if it go well then the stacks'll be back soon
If things go well, I will be able to provide for my family financially.

Spread love to fam cause your friends won't do it
Family is important, and sometimes the only ones who will truly look out for you.

Gotta go, Stay on your roll, Go out and pursue it
I have to keep moving and working towards my goals.

You damn right I wanna see Alvin do it
I want to see my loved ones succeed and achieve their goals.

And sugar-booger-daddy watching you so you better get to it
Someone who loves you is watching over you, so you better work hard and not disappoint them.

And realize what we're living for, And the stakes is high
We need to understand what we're working towards, and the risks are high.

Your young, But we all need cake to get by
Even though we are young, we still need money to survive.

So listen up to what your Momma say, But make your own facts
Listen to your mother's advice, but create your own path in the world.

Go and tell your brothers Daddy did a song with Uncle Cap
Share the pride and joy of my musical accomplishments with others.

Rocky and Kim, Lama I love ya'll
I love and appreciate the people in my life, like Rocky, Kim, and Lama.

And nothing till the day I die is ever above ya'll
Nothing will ever be more important to me than my loved ones.

I done got money with some of the richest niggas
I have made money with some of the wealthiest people.

But the feds turn killas into bitch ass niggas
The authorities can turn even the toughest criminals into snitches.

You know, Sit up on the stand, Star witness niggas
Snitches are willing to take the stand in court and testify against their former friends.

Run off at the lips, Sam the Bull ass niggas
Snitches are known for talking too much and acting like the infamous mob informant Sammy Gravano.

It was all good just a week my niggas
Everything was fine a week ago until betrayal occurred.

I remember the days we clapped heat my niggas
I reminisce about the days when we used to engage in violence.

And to think, I even took a bid for niggas
I even went to prison for some of these people.

Loaded forty glock, Half a brick for niggas
I provided weapons and drugs to my associates.

First time felon for the clique for niggas
I became a felon for the sake of my crew.

And this the thanks I get, Bullshit my niggas
This is the way I am repaid for my loyalty and sacrifices.

I did it all, I would've even died for niggas
I have done everything for my associates, including being willing to die for them.

It hurts my heart, Sometimes I wanna cry my niggas
It pains me to feel betrayed and to realize that all my loyalty was in vain.

With these words, We might even spread apart
My feelings of betrayal may cause us to drift apart.

But this dart, I'm pouring out my motherfucking heart
I am expressing my deepest emotions through my lyrics.

At the end of the day, I truly love you my nigga
Despite my hurt and anger, I still love my associates.

But today, Mega Don, I'm no longer a nigga
Today, I am not just a person from the streets, but a successful artist.

Leave me alone, Ya'll niggas don't know me
Now that I am on a different path, I need to be left alone by my former associates.

I'm a kill ya'll niggas, I do my dirt upon my lonely
I will take care of any business that needs to be handled on my own, without relying on others.

Slim, Skinny, And boney, One with the Stonies
I am slim and small, but still tough and capable.

Paid my dues so ya'll niggas own me
I have paid my dues and earned my success on my own merit.

School kicked out for pissing in the staircase
I was expelled from school for inappropriate behavior.

School of hard knocks got caught for selling hard base
I learned the harsh realities of life on the streets and was caught selling drugs.

Who you think helped them wash their money
I was involved in illegal activities, including helping to launder money.

They left their man behind enemy lines, All hungry
My associates left me in a dangerous situation, with no support.

The winter war was for sure, I live next door
I am familiar with violent conflicts, having grown up near them.

Bullets spit, Hit the bricks, Ricocheted, We laid on the floor
During violent conflicts, bullets hit the bricks, causing dangerous ricochets and forcing us to hide on the ground.

I could've sworn my deal was gonna feed the hood
I thought that my success would allow me to help support my community.

And me and my baby Mommas was gone be good
I thought I would be able to provide for my children's mothers and my family.

Antwon my baby boby, Ason my pride and joy
My son Antwon is my baby, and my other son Ason is my pride and joy.

Coshy Moshy you my Heavens to Merca Troy
My daughter Coshy Moshy is my heaven on Earth.

Don Kinish, Mr. Brick, I will murk your boy
I am willing to harm or kill anyone who tries to harm my family.

Cause these starving artists the hardest, I stay unemployed.
Being a successful artist is difficult, and I had to overcome challenges and struggles, including periods of unemployment.
