| Don’t forget who I am, don’t forget what I am
|
| I am a black dude
|
| And don’t ever forget how I got here
|
| My ancestors were kidnapped
|
| I don’t even know where the fuck I’m from
|
| They were put on the bottom of boats
|
| They sailed them across the Atlantic
|
| Many of them died, only the strongest survived
|
| And once they got here, they beat the humanity out of my people
|
| They turned us into beasts of burdens
|
| They made us do their work, and the irony is
|
| Hundreds of years later they’re calling us lazy
|
| We fought in the Civil War, we damn near freed ourselves
|
| Now here we all are, 400-year nightmare
|
| Took us 400 years to figure out as a people
|
| That white people’s weakness the whole time
|
| Was kneeling during the national anthem.
|
| Hahahaha, heh, heh, heh, aw shit
|
| Yo, give my regards to Paris
|
| I make 'em go bananas for the noble savage
|
| Steak 'em, let 'em have it, allow me to establish
|
| The tone from a holdin' pattern above Saturn
|
| Listen, they told me I was bound to lose
|
| I had the crown to prove and fucked around and found the tools
|
| Coulda failed, but I’m more compelled, I torched the trails
|
| Of an Orson Welles, rock jewels big as oyster shells
|
| To go from showman to shaman is not common
|
| What’s a goon to a goblin? |
| What’s a goblin to Amen Ra
|
| When the God’s been a problem? |
| Now get your fuckin' shine box
|
| Before I put your party in a pine box
|
| Remember we was broke as a promise
|
| Let’s be honest, them hard times scattered behind us
|
| Yachting through the Bahamas, 'bout to play St. Thomas
|
| Cabernet Sauvignon with Fabergé egg omelets
|
| Uh, slide down
|
| Nigga gon' slide down Fig' like
|
| I parked the crooked 'cause the Sig pokin', ayy
|
| Eye for an eye, gon' keep the tears rollin', yeah
|
| I’m Beethoven to the bass swollen, yeah
|
| Starin' in the mirror, I was God’s bonus
|
| Yeah, I ain’t ask for shit, I was chose for this
|
| Plot twist, one day if my gifts got the homies chillin'
|
| Grooviest, hood politics, the Crips scholarships
|
| Gang foul, equal noose now, it ain’t the same 'round
|
| Aw yeah, this lifestyle we livin', ayy
|
| Niggas turn to base heads from picture, ayy
|
| And leaned into the crack, got out of business, huh
|
| Now blacks doin' coke, what’s the difference now?
|
| Pigs turn my loc' to a witness now (Shit, fuck, fuck)
|
| The stakes raised, well done, salute, uh
|
| This young loc done popped out the blue, uh
|
| Die young, I keep peace to shoot
|
| We all knew this sixteen’s the truth, yeah
|
| Blacked out and I find out the scoop, brrt, ayy, woo |
