| [00:28.240] | Son woke up with that shine couldn't beat the weather |
| [00:30.922] | Son woke up feeling fly didn't need a feather |
| [00:34.011] | These the letters, me, a G forever, you get a e for effort |
| [00:36.880] | Don't lower case me, no don't play me that's a big G |
| [00:39.851] | Been moving 88 keys a week since I was 15 |
| [00:43.025] | Sunday morning special, ebony, and ivories |
| [00:46.050] | You can find me with the bands while the choir sings |
| [00:49.777] | Frankly, it's understood, I ain't Frank Lucas, even less Underwood |
| [00:53.736] | I'm more Frank Kay, next to where Laurence stood |
| [00:57.172] | That's a hey, whole choir boy from the hood |
| [01:00.640] | Yeah I'm from the same soil as Gloria James' son |
| [01:03.940] | Gassin' my hood up, my oil need a change, uh, ain't nothing |
| [01:07.973] | 3:30 ain't the time it's the code, 3:30 ain't a line it's my mode |
| [01:13.452] | I think I'm gettin' back to the old me |
| [01:17.202] | Without that Cali boy, really you don't know me |
| [01:19.867] | Had to get the rings so I left |
| [01:22.895] | Still home, got it inked on my left |
| [01:25.942] | Walkin' in like I'm the man of the year |
| [01:29.043] | Heard a lot of no, now I'm the man of the yeah |
| [01:32.097] | It's no problem that the Trinity can't answer back to |
| [01:35.470] | Big 3 over my head so please don't Chance The Rapper |
| [01:38.571] | I'm back bruh |
| [01:41.722] | I woke up feeling black, proud to be out here |
| [02:06.210] | The crew is stacked, ain't just me out here |
| [02:08.907] | Who is that? Homie Kareem out here |
| [02:11.770] | More than some tees out here |
| [02:13.769] | We screaming, "We out here" |
| [02:14.898] | Gotta find a way to monetize black twitter |
| [02:18.197] | So they gotta pay if they tryna laugh with us |
| [02:21.639] | Eyes on the prize, are we there yet? Nope |
| [02:24.706] | Eyes to the skies, what you staring at? Hope |
| [02:27.482] | I think I'm getting back to the old me |
| [02:30.844] | That "screw your man-tan, new age, minstrel show" me |
| [02:33.811] | Not bamboozled everything black God given |
| [02:37.140] | So when they tell me, "Fall back" Y'all tripping |
| [02:40.178] | The narratives ain't similar, they parallel |
| [02:43.170] | On heaven as it is on earth, the paracletes to parasail |
| [02:45.968] | Reformed is not a label I want you to tag me with |
| [02:49.411] | The reformation was for Catholics not Africans |
| [02:52.341] | I'm black, some days too much |
| [02:55.705] | Feeling strapped, tryna pay bills with two bucks |
| [02:58.751] | Feeling wack, watching other cats move up |
| [03:01.772] | Feeling trapped, like you shooting craps, you stuck |
| [03:04.587] | Believe me, feel like an all day job, it ain't easy |
| [03:08.709] | Being black is dumb hard |
| [03:11.323] | Somebody always saying that we pull the race card |
| [03:13.858] | Then America turned around and pulled the Trump card |
| [03:17.015] | On guard when the squad car pop guns off |
| [03:20.146] | If you comply, resist, or you run off |
| [03:20.465] | See your one crime is your skin, if your tone's dark |
| [03:26.482] | You're the lead role, getting killed on the film, with the phone's out |
| [03:29.430] | Whose the next victim getting screwed by the system |
| [03:32.765] | Would they dig you a grave, or would they make you a slave |
| [03:36.352] | Dirt cheap tombstone or 13th loophole just to make you behave |
| [03:41.071] | It's insane |
