Lyrics

God damn, uh huh
God damn, uh huh
God damn, uh huh
God damn, uh huh
God damn, uh huh
God damn, uh huh
God damn, uh huh
God damn, uh huh
Blacker the berry they say iHeartRadio but they play
Black music blues excluded, heart of its blackness extracted
Just do the mathematics, Google a practical app it
Black culture too dynamic, rap that can't help but to trap it
God damn it, culture bandits patent, appropriate, brand it
Can't understand it, dumb it down to the uruguay palette
It's almost magic, fitted hat it inside a A-rabbit
Black rappers lacking so they gave the keys to DJ Khaled
Just a little sorry, no I mean I feel it's teen
Target market, smarter artists too black for the rap programming
Mainstream caricature rapper get your money
Trust me son we down with dumbing plus
We never saw these bastards coming
Rap is a trait imposed to dangerous single narratives
Casting us as savages, masses middle passage kids
Most hip-hop **** whether fans or respectable spitters
Hear what I'm saying that say
God damn, God damn
How can we keep it real when
God damn, these **** in they feelings
God damn, if you ain't nation building
God damn, you **** need to stop
God damn, you **** think shit funny
God damn, just 'cause they getting money
God damn, you accept dumb shit from it
God damn, you **** need to stop
So brokenhearted when the hood reported **** I admired
As a youngin touching youngins nothing short of shattered
Used to think the culture mattered, had no idea
Other **** I respected kept it covered up for years
What do the student when his teacher is dismissive
Of the victims of abuses music movements can't be that important
What these **** snorting? Mothers should've had abortions
Visit Margaret Sanger use a hanger if she can't afford it
My first recordings was a course in soul sonic forces
I found my voice in burning torches lit by New Yorkers
Hip-hop was refuge for the youth society neglected
The stone builders rejected, some place to escape oppressors
Never expected those who paved the way saved the day
Made me unafraid to say the shit I say betray the babies
I swear this shit is crazy, stay with me I'm in my feelings
Staring at the ceiling yelling
God damn, God damn
How can we keep it real when
God damn, these **** in they feelings
God damn, if you ain't nation building
God damn, you **** need to stop
God damn, you **** think shit funny
God damn, just 'cause they getting money
God damn, you accept dumb shit from it
God damn, you **** need to stop
Believe it or not I'm actually optimistic
Overqualified most rapper guys are not as gifted
From futures past because the present's future I invented
Most won't admit it but I scripted how they learned to spit it
Your earth my mistress back when shit was just a bit uplifting
Now you in sin what I mean is you might be my semen
Poor righteous teaching crowning queens since 1990 even
Hustlers of culture we the realest of the hope dealers
But I got love for y'all 'cause y'all my sons not just some rappers
And that's regardless if you conscious savages or trappers
These monsters sponsor **** wilding to sustain the violence
And while we dying mamas crying they proceed in silence
But fuck it I'm the flyest, honest I ain't even trying
Ghetto god of conscious rhyming, ain't concerned with pop appeal
But if the truth can seal how we 'posed to keep it real
That's why the culture suffer still
God damn, God damn
How can we keep it real when
God damn, these **** in they feelings
God damn, if you ain't nation building
God damn, you **** need to stop
God damn, you **** think shit funny
God damn, just 'cause they getting money
God damn, you accept dumb shit from it
God damn, you **** need to stop
