lyrics

It took till my mid 30’s
To get what don’t water me
Only makes me thirsty
hung us like jury
Spit Jewelry
Dipped like waves w/ the murrays

all my enemies
and my mini me’s
keep taking an L
I’m sure you’ve seen em
they ain't taking it well
like bad casting director they playing themselves
how you looking for love that you don’t display to yourself
Hmmmm
Are those actions or just captions
Hmmm
Are you balding or just capping
Oooh
I like my currency w/ accents

Bring the light to the Aperture
Some niggas out here cancerous
We ain’t from the same diaspora
Twerking w/ the devil Dance w/ it
We just reaping what they sew out
we grew like a grow opp
collectively like a co opp’s

This is one for thee griots
we grew like a grow opp
collectively like a co opp’s




Verse 2 ::
things got heavy w/ my ex
I mean real real deep
It was heavy on my chest like Miskeen tee
Miss
Missing me
That’s Birds eye third cc’ed me

Divinity ain’t dividends
Learning how to forgive again
European standards
Sure are limiting

Ever forgot you were powerful
Resent who you handed power to?
Went from time be malleable
To time being valuable


But Money gives the illusion of choice
I’m the reflection that you trying to avoid
The importance of presence the importance of poise
I ain’t trying to bootstrap niggas but success is a choice


Verse 3
Middle passing you the message
South Central I gotta rep it
Know my minds a lethal weapon

We aint buying what they sold to us
Done w/ the hip hop homophobia
Listen
Black liberation mean no transphobia
I’m really bout that freedom bruh

Don’t let it go way over you heads like Yamukkah over dreds
Like top bunk over bed

I said
if we Black Lives matter then we really gotta live
if we Black Lives matter then we really gotta live
