​wise guy

[Verse: Adé Hakim & Cleo Reed]
I'm your favorite 'cause the truth works in your favor
We not livin' to believe in a fake world
And y'all trickin' up your sleeves for the paper
I get it, but the greed and the hate could
Make your people wanna be far away 'cause
You were shitting VC's on they name
But in public you would greet them with fake love
Actin' like a victim, wise guy but he plays dumb
When you hit him with the facts, listening to jazz
They go hard to belittle our rap
I was gettin' to the cash, 'cause my vision was exact
Now it's where I'm at, and a nigga in the lab still
Fighting for the right to love my people, and the past will
Creep up on my ass, no stress, no Advil, needed on this path
I keep my head up, I won't doubt it
Since I'm tryna be treated like one, then I must be a man about it
