Intro:
I don't know why I'm here, but can't believe I made it
Y'all know that a life cannot be recreated
Painting over truth, I mean they get creative
Let's go back to the Glory days, let's recreate it!
Verse:
They don't wanna hear from me
Couple minutes, all I need
All that hatred cutting deep
It's like they don't know I bleed
What's the cost of roaming free
What's the fee if not for free
Why is the economy
Separating mon ami. (Mon ami)
You ain't shit, if you're no idol
No relations, they want rivals
Staying idle
Detrimental to Survival
Took our treasures, left us bibles, (Bibles)
Now I'm hell conflicted, (Damn)
Great lands they depicted
Only make it if you gifted
But... Any Tom, Dick and Harry, (Harry)
Only suffer from the weight they carry, (Carry)
While the weight of the world on our shoulders
They still walking around like we ain't ever had it. (Had it)
I'm like wait, no man, I've had it, (Had it)
Paint me and mates like baddies, (Baddies)
It's on you, that we here, even thought it was fair
That there's kids growing up, no daddies. (Daddies)
Never forget about the age old adage
Behind a great man, a great woman begins it
Word to my mama, she taught me about Kinship
Make it a point to bring people's attention...
To the fact, we on some King and some Queen shit
Really some Queen, some Slim shit
Mean what I say, but don't mean to say mean shit
Got me gassed up, on some bean shit...
Mad coz you ain't ever been shit
All coz your history, told me that
Focus on all the facts, ropes and chains don't hold us back, (Back back)
Now it's what some folks will see
As day-to-day normality
But y'all a joke, no parody
We seeking actual parity
DAMN!
Outro:
Now know why you're here, I'm glad you even made it
For a moment, live our truth, appreciate it
To build an equal future, we must recreate it
Time to come together, let's initiate it
