Snow On Tha Bluff |
| Niggas be thinkin' I'm deep, intelligent, fooled by my college degree |
| My IQ is average, there's a young lady out there, she way smarter than me |
| I scrolled through her timeline in these wild times, and I started to read |
| She mad at these crackers, she mad at these capitalists, mad at these murder police |
| She mad at my niggas, she mad at our ignorance, she wear her heart on her sleeve |
| She mad at the celebrities, lowkey I be thinkin' she talkin' 'bout me |
| Now I ain't no dummy to think I'm above criticism |
| So when I see something that's valid, I listen |
| But shit, it's something about the queen tone that's botherin' me |
| She strike me as somebody blessed enough to grow up in conscious environment |
| With parents that know 'bout the struggle for liberation and in turn they provide her with |
| A perspective and awareness of the system and unfairness that afflicts 'em |
| And the clearest understandin' of what we gotta do to get free |
| And the frustration that fills her words seems to come from the fact that most people don't see |
| Just 'cause you woke and I'm not, that shit ain't no reason to talk like you better than me |
| How you gon' lead, when you attackin' the very same niggas that really do need the shit that you sayin'? |
| Instead of conveying you holier, come help get us up to speed |
| Shit, it's a reason it took like two hundred years for our ancestors just to get freed |
| These shackles be lockin' the mental way more than the physical |
| I look at freedom like trees, can't grow a forest like overnight |
| Hit the ghetto and slowly start plantin' your seeds |
| Fuck is the point of you preaching your message to those that already believe what you believe? |
| I'm on some "Fuck a retweet," most people is sheep |
| You got all the answers but how you gon' reach? |
| If I could make one more suggestion respectfully |
| I would say it's more effective to treat people like children |
| Understandin' the time and love and patience that's needed to grow |
| This change is inevitable but ain't none of us seen this before |
| Therefore we just gotta learn everything as we go |
| I struggle with thoughts on the daily |
| Feel like a slave that somehow done saved enough coins to buy his way up outta slavery |
| Thinkin' just maybe, in my pursuit to make life so much better for me and my babies |
| I done betrayed the very same people that look at me like I'm some kind of a hero |
| Because of the zeros that's next to the commas |
| But look here, I promise I'm not who you think |
| Ran into this nigga outside of the store yesterday |
| He said something that had me like, "Wait" |
| He was like "Cole, 'preciate what you been doin', my nigga, that's real" |
| But damn, why I feel faker than Snow on Tha Bluff? |
| Well maybe 'cause deep down I know I ain't doing enough |
| The sun is shinin' today |
| The sun is shinin' today |
| The sun is shinin' today |
| Can you walk with me? |
| I hope we'll find the reason why we often sob, go on cry |
| Painful memories fuck up the vibe |
| Though I be tryin' to let the time heal my mind |
| I was once a child, I've gotten older |
| Still, I know I'm just a boy in God's eyes |
| Fill me up with wisdom and some courage |
| Plus endurance to survive, help mine thrive |
