Lyrics

0:01Lil' white b***h gon' say
0:02"You need to say something about that"
0:04"You need to say somethin' 'bout black—"
0:06b***h, suck my—
0:08Yeah
0:09Go time
0:09That ain't in your religion, you just followin' your mammy
0:11She followed your granny, she obeyed master
0:14Did y'all even ask her? Questions, it's holes in them stories
0:17Is it, holes in your blessings? Yeah, I'm bold with the message
0:19I know I ain't got the answer
0:21But I ain't gon' cheerlead with y'all just to be a dancer
0:24I'ma groove to my own drums, sunlight in my shadow, baby
0:27Move 'til my soul comes, let them serpents rattle, baby
0:30Crackin' like broke porcelain, b***h
0:32We ocean deep if you just pour us in a portion of sh*t
0:34Them people try to twist my view on some contortionist sh*t
0:37I had to reevaluate what was important and sh*t (O-F)
0:39Finders, keepers, when you creep inside my mind it's madness (Yeah)
0:42If I see peace, I'm like a fiend (Ooh), uh, gotta have it
0:45Lord, cover me I'm goin' in, walls closin' in (Uh)
0:48How I'm supposed to be protected (Huh?) when the laws want us in?
0:50Y'all want us dead, just 'cause the skin is the black type (Ah)
0:53Teach me everything and be amazed I don't act right
0:55What the f**k?
0:57I'm tappin' the matrix, I'm back and they hate it
0:58I'm black and make 'em pay me capital statements, you dig? (Ching)
1:00Word on my back, I'm tryna fashion a statement
1:03I ain't no bastard, we the master of the path that we blazin', you dig? (What?)
1:06(On God, now)
1:11I came a long way from my past, nigga, it's obvious
1:14V12 engine, I'm fishtailin' on some sloppy sh*t (Skrrt)
1:17Internet bringin' old lyrics up, like I hide the sh*t
1:19What's your address, I could probably send you a copy, b***h
1:22I was canceled before canceled was with Twitter fingers (Haha)
1:25Protestin' outside my shows, I gave them the middle finger (f**k 'em)
1:27I was a teener, tweetin' Selena crazy sh*t
1:29Didn't wanna offend her, apologize when I seen her
1:32Back when I was tryna f**k Bieber, Just-in
1:34I say with my chest out, you say with your chest in, nigga (Say it with your chest, nigga)
1:38Black bodies hanging from trees, I cannot make sense of this (Uh)
1:40Hit some protest up, retweeted positive messages (Uh)
1:42Donated some funds then I went and copped me a necklace
1:45I'm probably a coon, and your standard's based on this evidence
1:48Am I doin' enough or not doin' enough?
1:50I'm tryna run with the baton, but see, my shoe's in the mud
1:53I feel like anything I say, dawg, I'm screwin' sh*t up (Sorry)
1:55So I just tell these black babies, they should do what they want
1:58Freedom, need 'em, my niggas, seen 'em
2:01Free 'em, don't f**k with the law like, damn, Gina
2:04So calm the f**k down before we duck rounds
2:06And fireballs that make your family have to duck the f**k down
2:08We frontline, we got the mazel tov that we can chuck now (Woo)
2:12'Cause anytime we movin' up, it's like a "What the f**k now?"
2:14They playin' games, we strappin' up, we cockin' aim (Yeah)
2:17We aim to shoot, we shoot to claim what we need
2:19We done with pain and the grievin', niggas is done with the peace
2:21Whether it's personal or for the whole of niggas, indeed (Yah)
2:24I might not have dreadlocks, I might have these gold teeth
2:26But I'm a nigga like you, and you's a nigga like me (Yeah)
2:29So let's be niggas together, and let's be niggas with plans
2:32But put this plastic on first, 'cause sh*t is hittin' the fan, Scott
2:36sh*t like this make me wanna turn my baseball cap to the side
2:39You know, with the T.I. lean
2:41Y'all fake mad
2:43Catch up, niggas
2:43Gettin' y'all identity, huh?
2:44Gangsta Grillz
2:46Go get a f**kin' hobby
2:47sh*t
2:48Ain't nobody perfect
2:50Well, at least y'all ain't, hah
