[00:06.000] God in all my flows, heaven in my tracks
[00:08.670] My kettles all gold, my presidents are Black (Bah)
[00:11.674] See, Jacky on the front linin', riches in the back
[00:14.193] Remember when they told us just to rap? Hmm
[00:16.745] Over the years, we've been ill advised
[00:18.706] They told us "Just one at a time", that's the biggest lie
[00:21.691] A wise man once asked "Who ate all the pies?"
[00:24.613] And now he's lookin' at me funny, like I took his slice
[00:27.551] Oh, what a lie, if I can't war with no broken man
[00:30.229] They start worryin', they've got wars to plan, hmm, aight, cool
[00:34.586] Jigga told mе "Crabs in a bucket", I said I overstand
[00:37.131] So you my brother, you can hold my hand
[00:39.511] You wouldn't know about thе convos that we had to change the rules
[00:42.738] Didn't know that I would give my arm and leg to help you move
[00:45.507] Didn't know we're tryna implement our history through the schools
[00:48.380] You can keep the gems, I give you jewels, aight
[00:51.038] We are the needle movers, we are the table shakers
[00:53.763] They gotta move around us, 'cause nothin' moves without us
[00:56.706] It can't be you who found us, we don't need you to crown us
[00:59.532] I had a crown before my song, this is the mountain that I'm on
[01:02.345] We set up shop, but never closed the shutter
[01:04.386] I give you all the keys, don't matter if we no each other
[01:07.439] My brother Enoch told me "Bro, you wasn't known to stutter"
[01:10.314] So I got rid of it, I'm smoother than some cocoa butter
[01:13.020] Flew it, you can—, it's the community provider
[01:15.718] The multiple diss track survivor, glory be to God, Jehovah [?]
[01:20.102] How can I retire? The devil is a liar
[01:22.879] And shout my nigga Dave, 'cause we made it through the fire
[01:25.377] Should've left me out the politics
[01:27.243] All I know is fetta cheese and dollar chips
[01:29.608] Niggas went from sellin' weed to scholarships
[01:31.551] They're billin' me to holler flicks
[01:33.020] And know they holler flicks to get at me
[01:35.121] I could be a Beatle if you let it be, I needed you to set me free
[01:39.654] Woo, I just needed you to let me dream
[01:42.971] The pressure that I'm under does no favors for my self-esteem
[01:46.365] I wonder what they tell Rahim
[01:48.235] Black boy fly, black girl fly, we all fly
[01:50.518] If you try to rob them for their dreams, of course I'm
[01:53.384] Gonna put a target on your back, I'm Hawkeye
[01:56.391] Beg you, leave them yutes alone, this is my war cry
[01:59.216] Just careful when you **** around and take the piss
[02:01.741] That could be my little bro baby sis, have to make a statement, just in case it is
[02:05.839] We're products of the place we lived
[02:07.395] Yeah, we're bustin' all your favorite myths, nowadays, I pull up on my Zadie Smith
[02:11.576] A master with my pen, skin-tone darker than your skeng
[02:15.095] Ah, you'd have to pull it up and start again
[02:16.686] Tell Michael Grove that we got somethin' for your nose
[02:19.759] And we got champagne bottles for them boys at number ten
[02:22.618] Oh, we gon' party through the bullshit
[02:24.284] If you make a paint, I'll reinforce it
[02:26.440] If you take a stand, then we endorse it, that's what we do
[02:29.401] If we ain't beside you, then we're cheerin'
[02:31.368] This is #Merky, this is God engineerin', I swear
[02:39.128] Woo, this for my niggas who ain't make it to the prem'
[02:42.777] Hope they see the bigger picture when they frame it through their lens
[02:45.677] I pray my brothers make it in the end, to be fair, we never had no olders
[02:49.622] This for my [?] and my Adeola's, you get the trophies when you plan and focus
[02:54.025] You're now tuned into my magnum opus, they wanna chat me whilst they sat on sofas
[02:58.073] But I'm Serena for you Sharapovas
[02:59.979] Win again and win again, like Wimbledon, I serve
[03:02.788] I promise you, I'm colder than the single that you heard
[03:05.439] The second one was stressful, but it's simple for my third
[03:08.309] Holy spirit, guide me to the things that you prefer
[03:11.253] I'm still the nicest with it
[03:12.217] Go put some commas on the check and try and 'tice us with it
[03:15.340] Put some rockets on our back and put some fire in it
[03:17.979] This a blessin' from our king, you can't acquire spirit
[03:20.952] Hit 'em with the choir spirit, got 'em singin'
[03:23.132]
[03:25.862] Give me light, give me love
[03:31.217] Usually [?] to fallin', got this strength, never lyin', oh
[03:43.306] Oh, yes, we will, oh
[03:48.474] I'm a young Jazzy B, I'm on my soul to soul
[03:50.771] They're askin' if I sold my soul
[03:52.065] Tell 'em it's the power of the holy ghost
[03:54.333] Tell 'em that he guides me on this lonely road
[03:56.913] So that's why I say
[03:57.904] The road that you go on from now, is what you're payin' for the ladies
[04:01.652] It's this road for all these people to walk
[04:04.818] And I think that's what's gonna be one of the greats, legacies
[04:09.215] That, you know, to get from
[04:11.569] The black English
[04:12.657] A hundred percent
[04:13.906] It's like a full circle, we came all the way around
