Ghetto (Ghetto)

Ghetto (Ghetto)

Ghetto

Ghetto mythologies colonize my mind constantly

To shine sonically in this shy, divine comedy

I vibe consciously to override suicide inside

Honestly, 'cause they don't wanna honor me and honesty

Black king, poetic with Nat King's aesthetic

Half dream, half machine, where the black queens get naked

For a dollar from a scholar like me

Not at all bothered with what a Sodomite see, flippant

A thousand grams get dissolved in the kitchen

Heart-wrenchin', part played, took away from my ascension

Crooked ways brought from car look aways from tooken J's

But it's too late for your prevention 'cause I'm playin' my position

I'm the man now

I'm the man now

I'm the man now

If you the man, let me see your fuckin' hands, now

Not the man, then keep your motherfuckin' hands down

Man now

I'm the man now

Uh, killer friends, dope dealers concealin' sins

Sin and swim in my trunk like jumps in deeper ends

We the gems, your daughter, we'll teach her hymns

From the annals of crime channels

That dismantle her wants for weaker men

Send 'em back, a livin', I'm feelin' trapped

We know religion, but brimmin' with brilliant facts

So we map, cast distorted role of a lady

With no control, let it go, hold on to baby

I wanna see it all, never half asleep, some **** can't see the walls

'Cause of the masterpiece, my data breach like hacker leaks

Delete the McAfee's and slam the backdoors in back of me

Social engineer peers state at it, give a chat to me happily

Actually activated off accolades of my apogee

And act yakety, then deeply speak it back to me

Then move it further, we can have a junta or a jerga

I smurf it and spoof the server, reboot and produce a cursor

I'm a man now

I'm the man now

I'm the man now

If you the man, let me see your fuckin' hands, now

Not the man, then keep your motherfuckin' hands down

Man now (Ghetto, ghetto)

I'm the man now

Deny the service and a little blue from the boycott

Advertise rum, space available on my toy box

But no sleepin' on me, dig deeper than reachin' shorties

Scheme for giant green, gettin' cream, sweeter than bein' corny

Know the difference between bein' in love and bein' horny

Bein' hated, bein' human, bein' a teen, but bein' forty

They like to get 'em young, like I'm Brigham's son

Be more man, and my attitude's no lad, I'd rather have a youth

Flag the OG's pullin' Benzo's out

They make 'em put they pussies out like Fred Flintstone's house

Heart blacker than the back of Fred Flitstone mouth

Or maybe more like Baba Kwesi, take the Tembo route

To be a man now

I'm the man now

I'm the man now

If you the man, let me see your fuckin' hands, now

Not the man, then keep your motherfuckin' hands down

Man now (Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)

I'm the man now

From the ghetto

Ghetto

From the ghetto

Ghetto

From the ghetto

Ghetto

Not goin' down to the ghetto, the ghetto

When we gon' bring back God to the ghetto?

You're the man now

Yeah, yeah

You're the man now

You are the man now

You're the man, you're the man now
