AfricAryaN (feat. Neil deGrasse Tyson)

I feel the aryan in my blood is scarier than a blood

Been lookin' for holy water, now I'm prayin' for a flood

It feel like time passin' me by slower than a slug

While this feelin' inside of my body seepin' like a drug

Will you hug me? Rub me on the back like a child?

Tell me you love me, need me, promise me you'll never leave me

Even though my daddy, you know he blacker than the street

With a fist to match, more solid than concrete

Tell white people I'm black, feel the need to retreat

Like I should be ashamed of my granddaddy Malik

But my beautiful black brothers and sisters wanna act like I'm adopted

Go back in time to when my **** daddy

Impregnated my cracker mama and stopped it

My, oh my

(My, oh my)

Oh, my (My, oh my)

I said, oh my (Oh, my)

Somebody pinch me, black men screamin' tryna convince me

I'm not black, so why the white man wanna lynch me?

Damn, my skin fair, but life's not

And I'd be lyin' if I said I didn't care what whites thought of black people sayin' shit

Maybe it's in my head like a single mother playin' "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"

Lookin' around on the ground for a serpent to feed her

Prayin' to God, wonderin' why her baby daddy beat her

Feelin' like the devil finna come and defeat her

All alone in the wintertime, close to the heater

Wonderin' what's gonna happen and how the world gonna treat her?

How could her mama mislead her?

And her daddy just leave her like abracadabra with amateurs to pull on the lever?

Oh, my

(Oh, my)

Oh, my (Oh, my)

Like the white woman said, oh my

(Yeah)

Oh my, my, my, my, my

Oh

Oh my, my, my, my, my

Oh my

I don't feel right deep inside

Feelin' like I need to hide

Everybody wonder, will I get high?

'Cause I can't fight the feelin' inside

Oh my, my, my

Oh my

I said, oh my

Feeling innocent, innocence has got me feelin' on the fence

And all this shit is so intense, don't wanna go to this event

Just wanna stay home and invent and somehow get all them even

I'm takin' shots and drinkin' liquor, but that shit don't make a dent

In how I'm feelin', yes, I'm willin' to keep chillin' on this shit

I know there's someone out there far away who's feelin' all this shit

And yes, I know that when I'm low, there's so much further I can go

And so I look up to the sky, oh my, oh my

(Oh my, oh my)

Oh my, oh my (Oh my, oh my)

Oh my, oh my (Oh my, oh my)

Oh my, oh my (I said, oh)

I feel the aryan in my blood is scarier than a blood

Been lookin' for holy water, now I'm prayin' for a (Flood)

It feel like time passin' me by slower than a slug

While this feelin' inside of my body seepin' like a (Drug)

Will you hug me? Rub me on the back like a child?

Tell me you love me, need me, promise me you'll never (Leave me)

Even though my daddy, you know he blacker than the street

With a fist to match, more solid than concrete

Tell white people I'm black, feel the need to retreat

Like I should be ashamed of my granddaddy Malik

But my beautiful black brothers and sisters wanna act like I'm adopted

Go back in time to when my **** daddy

Impregnated my cracker mama and stopped it

My, oh my

(My, oh my)

Oh, my (My, oh my)

Like the white woman said, oh my (My, oh my)

Yeah

Single mother playin' "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"

Lookin' around on the ground for a serpent to feed her

Prayin' to God, wonderin' why her baby daddy beat her

Feelin' like the devil finna come and defeat her

Sometimes, I can't get you outta my mind

Baby, no, I just can't find

I just can't find

Such a beautiful state of mind

Beautiful state of mind

Such a beautiful state of mind

Beautiful state of mind

Sometime, everything right on time

But right now, in my mind

I feel like I'm livin' on borrowed time

Yeah

I feel the aryan in my blood is scarier than a blood

Been lookin' for holy water, now I'm prayin' for a flood

It feel like time passin' me by slower than a slug

I know there's someone out there far away who's feelin' all this shit

And yes, I know that when I'm low, there's so much further I can go

And so I look up to the sky, up to the sky

Like a single mother playin' "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"

Lookin' around on the ground for a serpent to feed her

Prayin' to God, wonderin' why her baby daddy beat her

Feelin' like the devil finna come and defeat her

Oh, my

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

Listen, uh

Look into my eyes, tell me you could see beyond the smile that I'm puttin' on

This front that I'm puttin' up for you

I spit my soul into a microphone with poems written in blood

In hopes that it's enough for you

Do you love me yet?

Do you love me yet?

No? Ok

I'll go harder for you in fact

I'll rap till I collapse

All I wanted was acceptance, my latest lesson

I never feel your approval till I accept my own

Come from a messed up home, destitute and less informed

About the ways to raise a child up

To not become a product of his environment

I need to cry and vent, but I done built this wall up

Actin' like everything's all good

But in reality, I'm lookin' for somethin' through bumpin' my favorite rappers

I came up after Nas, Cole, and Hov

Eyes closed, that's on till five or so in the morn'

I'm used to bein' alone, shit, you know how long I been out on my own

Chasin' dreams, fantasies of a throne

One day, I'll wake up and see that it didn't exist all along

Till then, I will pen verses that fans consider brilliant

Boost up my ego with every million that spills in

And still then, I won't find solace, so where's the logic in that?

Worryin' 'bout if they think Logic can rap

When it all just goes back to a childhood need to be loved

By parents that was in too deep with the drugs

My advice: fuck the black and white shit

Be who you are, identify as a star

No one tells you do that

It's somethin' that you just know

The world be stealin' your glow

Your mama did what she could, her life was miles from good

Your father fell in the trap they set for you when you black

They met when they was low, and therefore, you a product of that

And so your trauma is deep, don't bury it, you should weep

To clean it out of your system and truly forgive 'em

Just my opinion

Only then, can you find peace

You'll start to notice happiness don't come from album release

I been through it before, can only share with you what I know

To be true, but at the same time, I'll never be you

And you'll never be me no matter how hard that you try

This is for youngins out there wonderin' how far you can fly

The truth is that you can go further than the stars and the sky

But if you want to, then you oughta know why

Are you runnin' from somethin'

With hopes of becomin' someone that's finally worthy of love?

Let me tell you now, you're worthy enough

Fuck approval from strangers, that shit is dangerous as hell

Find God, learn to accept yourself, and I'm gone

It's accepting
