Unchained XL & Kevin Posey - That's My Folk Lyrics

That's my folk
Same type glow
Same damn look when we walk through the door
Same melanin, ay, different clothes
Different struggles but we got the same goal
Yeah that's my folk
Same type glow
Same damn look when we walk through the door
Same melanin, ay, different clothes
Different struggles but we got the same goal
Po po draw a glock
We strike the same pose
They take a mugshot
We got the same nose
The same fat lips know what to pray for
Both get a hashtag
Both get a halo
Both bodies get placed on display though
Neither of us gettin' paid for the white gaze bro
Who taught black women how to hate fros?
Skin bleach creams
Who taught us how to make those?
The same damn folk with they fingers in the Afrikan pie
We get a crumb to survive and so we take to the sky
Straight back hand smack any one of my guys
Who disrespect y'all in front of my eyes
Cos y'all been through the mire
That's real
Both tryna get to freedom
First things first man
We tryna get to eatin'
Can't change the world while the energy's depletin'
So lemme come through and cut the beef then
Cos
That's my folk
Same type glow
Same damn look when we walk through the door
Same melanin (Ay!) different clothes
Different struggles but we got the same goal
Yeah that's my folk
Same type glow
Same damn look when we walk through the door
Same melanin, ay, different clothes
Different struggles but we got the same goal
Hold up
Uh
Black Am my bro African
We're both profiled racially
Talented men
Tall, we don't play basketball
That would be them
With assumptions of who we are
Where to begin
I'm educated no drugs no medication
Dreams, achieve them, hase them
Bags, obtain them
Cops behind me
Survived, hair gets grayer
More drip boy, I splash
One hell of a wave huh
To my sisters from both sides
So beautiful inside and outside
Black don't crack we just survive
Handle our business and we aim high
Nothing wrong with you or your hair
Your skin, there's glow there
The windows to your soul
There's plenty of hope there
USA to the motherland
Hand and hand
We are equal
So we saying
That's my folk
Same type glow
Same damn look when we walk through the door
Same melanin (Ay!) different clothes
Different struggles but we got the same goal
Yeah that's my folk
Same type glow
Same damn look when we walk through the door
Same melanin, ay, different clothes
Different struggles but we got the same goal
Hey
