Don't make me laugh, niggas funny
De la soul, from the soul
You can't duplicate the sound, boy
Don't make me laugh, niggas funny
Nigga: A noun, usually disparaging and offensive
A term used to refer to or address a black person
Don't make me laugh, niggas funny
Huh, funny, an adjective, providing fun, causing amusement or laughter
Or warranting suspicion like you motherfuckers
Don't make me laugh, niggas funny

She walk around with her top down
Let me talk in her ear, she know me as sop sound
Some do it for the culture
We do it for cultivating the mind that's knocked down
We worth millions but not millionaires
'Cause music industry rules are in disrepair, yet
Matrimony of time and body intervenes with wisdom
To right the wrongs of any would-be king
They offerin' a castle, but who owns the land?
Questions rarely asked in becoming a man
See, way back when, we were teens and wide-eyed with the third one closed
While the nose is breathing up the glitz, tryna catch a whiff of the fame
And gather any shine on our name
But jealousy rained down from those whose thoughts are never sunny
Saying (don't make me laugh, niggas funny)
It be that textbook hood dilemmas
When you 'bout to gain light, jealous ones want to install the dimmers
Now is the same as then
A nigga heart is on hate while his face lies to you with a grin
It's where the evil liar lurks, watchin' others approving of your works
One too many praises raises their blood with fermented frowns or a smirk
They throw mud while saying (don't make me laugh, niggas funny)
And the elders steady telling the youth
That wisdom's being pulled out the hood as if attached to a tooth
And now nerves exposed
Girls try to set the boys on the right track, they like: The nerve of them olds
I suppose when they were kids, they watched cartoons
And flew around their room like the man from krypton
As they got older, you know what some do
They separate red and blue and get their bloods and crips on
So many mesmerized by the mess
They hear the ringin' in their ears
That's the gods trying to align 'em
But unlike pianos, they choose to be out of tune, so that's where you find 'em
A wrench with a stench for somebody else's come-up
Especially when our skin is indigenous to the sunup
I run up to write on the page of life, but they snatch it from me while saying (don't make me laugh, niggas funny)
And on the other side of this, you have them funny-style niggas talkin' with a hiss

They fast and ugly, foul
And flashin' tryna get a reaction from the crowd, it's wild
To knock this kid on his ass, we're unallowed
All these bird niggas mincin' they words is runnin' 'round
Out here waitin' for the man like velvet underground
Smart brothers keep convincin' themselves to dumb it down
Pickin' poison off of bodega shelves to numb it now
Listen, when it get ugly quick, fast, and in a hurry
Sometimes it boil down to who had the biggest money
Or the one who philly wanted enough to get it from me
Think you hungry enough? (Don't make me laugh, niggas funny)
Look, I'm sick of following the masses
I'm sick of givin' up game to niggas failin' classes, niggas lame
I'm sick of half-assed hip-hop flows, sick of passport bros
Sick of hoes with the same fat ass and short nose
Uh-oh, they comin' for me? Them clones wanna son me
But shorties with the cookies and scones, they love to love me
Probably why some clowns swear they supposed to mean-mug me
I mean, literally (don't make me laugh, niggas funny)
I'm from 5th and mckean where people live in between horror and hell
Convince you that they just livin' the dream
Every day another reason to play the visitin' team
They say the meter to make it's if you can lift a machine
Where the stars don't shine bright and days ain't sunny
It's a struggle to fly right and claim victory
In the subtlest twilight, but that ain't shit to me
Check the history (don't make me laugh, niggas funny)

Don't make me laugh
Don't, don't make me laugh
Don't make me laugh, niggas, niggas funny
Don't make me laugh
Don't make me laugh
