[00:00.38]
[00:00.88]Ooh, I want it, yeah
[00:05.11]Whenever you need my hand
[00:08.15]I'll hold you down, oh
[00:11.64]Ooh, you want it, yeah
[00:16.74]Why in the **** these niggas
[00:19.35]Tryin' to hold me down, oh
[00:23.51]You such a ****in' lame
[00:25.43]It's what they used to yell back in seventh grade
[00:28.03]My momma said she'd get me that new jacket when the cost go down
[00:31.38]Hit the office,
[00:32.39]Stole some Tommy Hill from lost and found
[00:34.38]Not bad for a family of foster child
[00:37.07]Lookin' fly man, I'm flossin' now
[00:38.82]But them niggas saw through me
[00:40.96]Are you serious? What is this?
[00:42.20]Took the jacket off third period, ellipsis
[00:44.92]Listening to "Sky is the Limit" on my Walkman
[00:47.73]Thinking if Biggie can make it through it,
[00:50.18]Man then I can
[00:51.07]Dope-boy swag
[00:52.33]I always wanted that
[00:53.63]But my persona was always more of that Arthur Ashe
[00:56.09]But no love for the son of a commuter
[00:58.83]Who was a radio head and okay at them computers
[01:01.97]At the post office
[01:02.82]It's funny how you smoke niggas then you start coffins
[01:05.50]All my people need throat lozenge
[01:07.46]My fear is dead
[01:09.02]Ambition drove the hearse
[01:10.56]But niggas got me feelin'
[01:11.47]I ain't black enough to go to church
[01:12.86]Culture shock at barber shops cause I ain't hood enough
[01:16.09]We all look the same to the cops,
[01:17.65]Ain't that good enough?
[01:19.15]The black experience is Black and serious
[01:21.15]Cause being black, my experience, is no one hearin' us
[01:23.84]White kids get to wear whatever hat they want
[01:26.34]When it comes to black kids one size fits all
[01:29.84]Ooh, I want it, yeah
[01:35.69]Whenever you need my hand
[01:38.33]I'll hold you down, oh
[01:41.67]Ooh, you want it, yeah
[01:46.67]Why in the **** these niggas
[01:49.37]Tryin' to hold me down, oh
[01:52.98]We the baddest nigga, we the baddest nigga
[01:58.51]You hear me?
[02:00.01]We the baddest nigga, we the baddest nigga
[02:03.80]We the baddest nigga, we the baddest
[02:16.09]The reason that they say:
[02:17.30]I'm nothin' what they seen or heard's
[02:18.59]The same reason Will Smith always opposite Latino girls
[02:21.04]They only see you how they wanna see you
[02:23.20]'Til you make them see you in some other way
[02:25.14]I'm trippin' off the other day
[02:26.69]Cause God knows what these white kids say and do
[02:29.44]Dude you're not not racist cause
[02:31.10]The Wire's in your Netflix queue
[02:32.79]Subtle racism
[02:33.89]It's hard to pin it cause you'd only understand
[02:36.11]If you were me for just a minute
[02:37.76]This one kid said somethin' that was really bad
[02:40.79]He said I wasn't really black because I had a dad
[02:44.37]I think that's kinda sad
[02:47.08]Mostly cause a lot of black kids
[02:48.26]Think they should agree with that
[02:49.82]If you're a father, you should stick around if you could
[02:52.09]Cause even if you're bad at it, you get Tiger Woods
[02:55.05]Or MJ
[02:56.71]We warriors, we all need senseis
[02:59.06]Change everything that we've done so far
[03:02.41]I don't mean makin' B.E.T. T.E.R
[03:05.57]I mean just the way that we see each other
[03:08.07]I won't stop until they say,
[03:09.74]"James Franco is the white Donald Glover"
[03:11.78]Yeah, these niggas wanted Cookie but instead I gave 'em Loch Ness
[03:14.94]Sick Boi for life, my swag is in a hospice
[03:17.49]Aimin' for the throne, Jay and Ye said to watch that
[03:20.44]They ask me what I'm doin', I say I'm stealin' rock back
[03:22.98]Nigga
[03:24.53]Ooh, I want it, yeah
[03:29.01]Whenever you need my hand
[03:31.66]I'll hold you down, oh
[03:34.76]Ooh, you want it, yeah
[03:40.14]Why in the **** these niggas
[03:42.54]Tryin' to hold me down, oh
[03:46.32]Ooh, I want it, yeah
[03:51.03]Whenever you need my hand
[03:54.14]I'll hold you down, oh
