Lyrics
You ready? Alright Anambra State is in my genetics Shekinah Glory in my aesthetics They say the flow is poetic, prophetic And come from a relic that ain't synthetic I got that authenticity Admittedly, I am what's under Christmas trees I'm gifted, me rappin', is serendipity Who knew I could master complex simplicity? Hmm, not me, though I thought I'd live a life with a pistol to the peep hole I grew up jammin' Z-Ro, never been placebo Papa told me every shot in life ain't a free throw Biko, biko nwannem solemnly swear there's none on Earth greater than Chukwu Teach your people all them problems we share Since our birth make us the doo-doo And as for those as white as tissue I know some of y'all seekin' to wipe us out But you could refashion your name To that of Torrence Ivy Hatch and couldn't wipe me down That's word to Boosie Too far along not to merge with goofies PSA to young thots who trot my way With the onion, I curve the booty You'd be truly amazed to know that I do not judge you for your maneuvers 'Cause I was once an unruly fooly, we ain't acting newbie They grew it with Hoovers Had the block hot as lava Hard to survive a block under constant fire They made flippin' bricks they messiah They just want to drip like saliva And who am I to incite that movin' Like MacGyver to survive all the plights Against those whose skin tone absorbs the light It's more so right than to grab a slice of the pie Yeah, 'cause truth be told, that's the least you owe us And I ain't here for no tears or cheers I just need the years stolen by the locusts So, please give it back Please give it back Please give it back Better that than go t**-for-tat I said, please give it back Please give it back Please give it back Better that than go t**-for-tat I said please Pay us what you owe us For all the years y'all know that y'all hoed us We bought some stocks But Game Stop done showed us The system's sick as tuberculosis But we all know this Who is we kiddin'? The book of life says that it is written The US Government perfected pimpin' The school of hard knocks gave us admission And since we graduated All them palpitations in our chest that aggravate us Is the reason why I make these songs I'm done Ouu
