Lyrics

Who you know getting busy with the force like, "ha-ha" Laugh cos we good, that's hakuna matata Bet you wanna see a Black woman get active Whenever they chat shit, I just say nada Free from the BS, I was carrying the weight Being stuck up in The Matrix, it's a rat race Giving 'em our truth, and they gave us blackface Why you wanna make a mockery of my pain? Way too long we been carrying the shame If we knew we had magic, would we put needles in our veins? That's that selling us a lie shit Keep us low, then we get high quick, and it doesn't change I was down and out had my bank account untamed Trusting of the people billing every call made Everybody here getting money off my name Irony is, I'm the only one not getting paid You been tanning in the sun, so now I'ma throw shade I probably paid for your Balmain Know you're good at selling me the nigga dream 1m might just make a nigga scream, "Nigga, we made it!" Gimme equity if you about it We been here climbing these mountains Trekking through the rain Ownership is the only conversation we can have Taking the throne back, you shouldn't have got attached No merci No Free the birds, tuppence a bag Hella diamonds in a stash Currency in cash, put the bullshit in the trash Niggas riding out, got the Bible on the dash God, do everything you can to prevent us from a crash You know that I'm unapologetically Black I can see it making nervous here, you ain't gotta act I'm a human landmine I am not a human being you can gaslight If the contract more than two pages, it's a bad sign I was convinced it was fine, it's my damn time 16, calling America on the landline Thank God that my brother kept the flashlight Needed guidance through the dark, I know sad times I know good hearts, you is bad-mind Everything is archived, I can never be stopped Can't get through to me, you'll see that you been blocked No merci Don't get lost in the sauce, when he talk Take your time, be sure They want you rushing life decisions over a three-course meal Next thing you know, you're doing free tours I can put you on game, power in your name The minute you sell that, everything is gonna change What would happen if you bought into their vision? And what would happen if you put your people in positions You ain't in the studio with me, but want commission And if I wanna release my art, I need permission There's hidden agendas here we should unpack Forgive me if I'm yakked, I'm just genuinely baffled Please don't ever sell your soul, it's a trap They want me talking online, but I put it in my raps Looks like I'm the only one spitting facts I'm finally free now, they hoping I relapse No merci No merci They been hurting you, do yourself a favour They do not deserve you, you can't be their saviour You're only human too, do yourself a favour They do not deserve you, you can't be their saviour You're only human too, do yourself a favour They do not deserve you, you can't be their saviour You're only human too
