Welcome to Tha Cook Out

[Verse 1]
Another day, another food stamp
Another brother dead in an article, hittin' his arteries
Possession of fruit snacks and a juice pack
Another cop on paid leave, another protest for a sec
Nothin' new under the sun except the sun
Blue eyes, white skin, back then, their skin was bronze
Still cautious on these backstreets where Blacks meet
That pack straps out of they khakis
Like if I do that, get attacked by a white killer
My brother must forgot he was Black with that MAGA on his hat
Show no love to no thug, what?
By the way we like to dress, I'm guessing that was for us
Black girl got slut-shamed for twerking
White girls learned it, made a hell of an earning
Black girl scalp burning from putting a perm in
Becky getting praise off her braids, she so urban
Now my lil' cousin insecure 'cause her lips
Now my lil' cousin insecure 'cause her hips, don't trip
Plot twist, her entire skin botox, fake buttocks, welcome to fashion

[Chorus]
Tell your friends my skin ain't no trend
We was Black before it was in
Back when it was sin, back when we were lynched
Now everybody wanna hang with, uh
Say it loud, say it loud, say it loud
Say it loud, say it loud, say it loud
Say it loud, say it loud, say it loud
Say it loud, say it loud, say it loud

[Post-Chorus]
When the day lays down
And the clouds are slouched
After hours, after all albums are out
Behold, I'm Black and I'm proud

[Verse 2]
Nigga, say what?
You wanna be down when we up?
But don't wanna be brown when it's tough?
But don't wanna be Black when the back of the bus was for us?
Or back in the paddywagon cuffed, yeah
Income tax spent, but not on the rent
On a trenchcoat, coldhearted, livin' in the trenches
Not a loaf to eat, loafers on his feet
Made by a brand that won't consider him a position in they business
Welcome to the cookout
Leather slippers with the foot out
House niggas gettin' put out
How we protest for clout? Don't doubt my next route
Out and about, up in the crowd extra'd out
How can we compare a Crip and a Blood conflict
To an unarmed man shot by pigs?
Imagine Batman and Robin robbin' the people of Gotham
Same people that's sworn to serve and guard them

[Chorus]
Nigga, if you don't tell your friends my skin ain't no trend
We was Black before it was in
Back when it was sin, back when we were lynched
Now everybody wanna hang with, uh
Say it loud, say it loud, say it loud
Say it loud, say it loud, say it loud
Say it loud, say it loud, say it loud
Say it loud, say it loud, say it loud

[Outro]
Land of the fee
Five-finger discount, snatch from the chiefs
This our shit now, land of the fee
Land of the free, hand it to me
America be like land of the fee
Five-finger discount, snatch from the chiefs
This our shit now, land of the fee
Land of the free, hand it to me
Nigga, say it loud
Uh
Take a thousand
Bi-yatch
Right
