| We failed
|
| We didn’t prevail
|
| Ohh, yeah
|
| We swell
|
| But that’s just our well
|
| If somebody try’na punk you
|
| Would you want to-
|
| Beat him up just cause they hunt you?
|
| And take you to a land where nobody’s tan is tan as you
|
| But managed to hump you
|
| And make you have a golden baby
|
| But your great-great-grand-kids roll Mercedes
|
| Still fighting for equality with names like Talib Kweli
|
| He’s too deep, they unfollowed me
|
| They wanna hear the shit that you be saying Caribou Lou and woop woop
|
| They took the K and you be paying
|
| I got a couple of sons to feed
|
| Don’t wanna rock the boat with water underneath
|
| You could call that a slave mentality
|
| A sell out, I don’t get evicted, don’t get the hell out
|
| I’m just finna educate my sons
|
| I hate «niggas», but figure I’m the biggest one
|
| Now stop
|
| I am not who I say I am
|
| You are not who you say you are
|
| What you think?
|
| What you think you are?
|
| You are not what you look like
|
| I’m just saying read the book right
|
| What you think?
|
| Yeah, whatever you think you missed
|
| You only hoping that you can get to open for a big name rapper
|
| And perfect your craft
|
| And all the weed smoking and all the words spoken
|
| You get on stage and that no one would laugh
|
| We would get the memos so when we hear your demo
|
| And Venmo you like a bag of cash
|
| Interview you and ask
|
| Did you do it for the culture, the cash, or to get more ass?
|
| Are you a have or a have not?
|
| Got weed in the stash spot?
|
| Ever bleed from a gunshot…
|
| Wound?
|
| I know you coons got a way of life
|
| Talking and holding a mouth full of gold
|
| Do you rap, do you play ball, or sing?
|
| It’s all like the same thing
|
| You all try’na get bling
|
| Your pants all sagged y’all
|
| Studied your look
|
| Notice you’re all the same color in the coloring book
|
| Stop
|
| I am not who I say I am
|
| You are not who you say you are
|
| What you think?
|
| What you think you are?
|
| You are not what you look like
|
| I’m just saying read the book right
|
| What you think?
|
| Yeah, whatever you think you missed
|
| You can never get me right |
