Don’t -ss-ssinate my character |
| [00:33.847] |
Presidential flow, like i’m captain america |
| [00:36.346] |
Long ways to go to my prime |
| [00:38.167] |
Like a minister |
| [00:38.975] |
Writing is my signature |
| [00:40.255] |
Performing is my finisher uh |
| [00:41.868] |
Bautista bombing |
| [00:42.629] |
Barista pouring you coffee |
| [00:44.198] |
You sleeping on me in coffins |
| [00:45.479] |
You decaffeinated |
| [00:46.378] |
Decapitated my inner problems they evaporated |
| [00:48.972] |
In fact i’m praying they lack revival |
| [00:50.388] |
Relax, for my sake |
| [00:51.668] |
Stay woke, and not sleep |
| [00:52.997] |
I was broke, and not cheap |
| [00:54.157] |
I was broken, not weak |
| [00:55.470] |
And these blokes, never ride they own boats |
| [00:57.496] |
But they boast |
| [00:58.342] |
While they paste and copy |
| [00:59.509] |
Thank lord i’m not you |
| [01:00.788] |
Thank lord you not me uh |

My nappy head coats my brilliant mind |
| [01:15.000] |
Our people tossed to the dirt |
| [01:16.442] |
Man we lost in the time |
| [01:17.604] |
We claim to be on fast forward |
| [01:18.852] |
But we stuck on rewind |
| [01:20.109] |
They try to keep us in the past like funny packs and fans of |
| [01:22.978] |
Billy ray cyrus, look in my iris |
| [01:24.996] |
Really tell me what do you see |
| [01:26.796] |
A n-gga with a virus or reflections of greed |
| [01:29.134] |
I live amongst the giants |
| [01:30.452] |
And carry my sling and choppa |
| [01:32.220] |
Bounce back like big sean and ping and pong |
| [01:34.750] |
Fly high like big bird and cheech and chong |
| [01:37.298] |
Let bygones be bygones, i right wrongs |
| [01:39.802] |
Swerve obstacles like drive-bys |
| [01:41.367] |
No pylon, gon’ stop me from piling on uh |
| [01:44.119] |
If god wills that, “goodwill”, is taking over |
| [01:46.552] |
I got tricks like hoodwinked |
| [01:48.240] |
Up in my clothing |
| [01:49.237] |
A skinny teen with skinny jeans |
| [01:50.924] |
But best believe |
| [01:51.876] |
The pockets fat on my scene |
| [01:53.520] |
No skinny dreams |
| [02:16.473] |
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze |
| [02:26.898] |
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze |
| [02:37.132] [chorus] |
Calling up my minister(Southern trees) |
