[ Featuring Tish Hyman, Symba ]
We live in fear but we still brave
We free think but we still slaves
We can't sink bitch we still the wave
We spend foolish but we still save
We say f*ck Gucci but we still wear it
Long way from the trap my 5th trip to Paris
It's still apparent crackers still fear us
Shoutout to the ones that show respect when they get near us yea
They set limits we ain't have limits
This that real shit we ain't have gimmicks
I ain't tryin to be a pastor or Catholic with it
But we keep God first even tho we last in it
They burnt the bridge so we learned to swim
Everything they taught was fake so we learned again
They ignored us and they looked over
Now we the ones they bookin over and over
They gave us scraps we made soul food
They been wearin Rollies we made those cool
Back in the 80s I'm talkin old school
They wasn't fly on them rich white old dudes
It don't be lit until the culture choose it
Everybody do it how the culture do it
Feel it in your soul this that culture music
If you don't feel it need to add a little culture to it
You may not love me but you love everything that I do
You want it for yourself
You're so scared of me but you love everything that I do
You really love me
We stay fly but we ain't got wings
Go through nightmares to achieve dreams
I'm suffocated by my own beliefs
I got breath but I can't breathe
I'm tryna to stand for something other than the streets
But all my resources is rooted in running from police
It's like I was designed to deal with bigotry
Cause all the good I've done gets erased by white supremacy
Josiah Henson tried to buy freedom the cut his cost
Then we wrote our history started calling them uncle Tom
If I call a man a coon and get enough people to agree
Then let a hundred years pass what u think that they gone believe?
They build us up and break us in pieces to spread poverty
Cnd every time we find a way out we see inequality
You cripple me just to feel you above me yo
People hate so much I'm starting to think that you love me
You may not love me but you love everything that I do
You want it for yourself
You're so scared of me but you love everything that I do
You really love me
You really love me
You really love me
You really love me
