Testo Black America - Kolo
Testo della canzone Black America (Kolo), tratta dall'album The Last Manifesto
I'm in February right now
That means it's blackout season
Yeah
I might swipe on the black card, cop me a black Benz
Pack it with Lupitas just for me and my black friends
We pull em cause they hear that we be spitting like Mac-10s
To be this good with words should be illegal like absinthe
I always break the laws, except the ones of power
I've befriended many foes to help defeat some of you cowards
I never shine too hard especially around a boss
Cause kings are insecure when they find out you ain't a pawn
Its tough to hide my light, my glow is just too enormous
You sold your soul for money nigga we are not concordant
I need honor and loyalty in high portions
Niggas on my team that got my six like Michael Jordan
What's important, is speaking for the unspoken
So I dropped Politics as Usual, niggas wasn't open to it
So I'm back to spitting that no one can do it better
That he can cause a sound wave to bring down Armageddon
The vendetta is deeper than rap, to keep a stack
Y'all too busy keeping the gat, you need to relax
Y'all deals, is deep in the past, let's keep with the facts
360 contracts, is robbing your stash
Man of course we still slaves
But they want that he could leave the studio in flames
So I gas on em
I'm the nigga leading the new wave, I put cash on it
They can never got enough of me like a crack junkie, yeah
I can never be a robot they control nigga
The rules don't help us to be reaping what we sow nigga
What we started, we the fathers
They pay no homage, take what's ours yeah
I can never be a robot they control nigga
No matter what don't let these label take your soul nigga
I'm on go, I won't fold
I'm no slave, let them know nigga yeah
I might swipe on the black card, cop me some black Timbs
Black out the Range Rover, the Windows with black tint
I don't want y'all to see me, I don't want to hear from no nigga
Who throwing shade but in secret just wants to be me
I brainstorm the impossible, the lyrical immaculate conception
Anything that comes to mind, I manifest it
I stack a check when I speak my mind like Joe Rogan
And for that, they gon' hate on a nigga, Hulk Hogan
But they cannot control me, I write my own chapters
No you not massa, yes I own my masters
Yes I read the contract, you ain't putting nothing passed us
I got a few degrees and I ain't never missed no classes
Who's iller than me
That gap was answer, the versatility mastered
My independence established, I did it all without the backing
I lost a couple stacks but I'll make it back on the back end
Don't do this for your reaction the passion is all I know
Telling the stories that the TV news never shows
I learned that there's power in playing games
Don't ever show all your cards
Always maintain your bluff, they never know who you are
That's when you drop that shit
That why the hell it took so long to help the kids in Flint
That why ain't twelve wearing body cams in every zip
I can spit that real now that I have your attention, yeah
I can never be a robot they control nigga
The rules don't help us to be reaping what we sow nigga
What we started, we the fathers
They pay no homage, take what's ours yeah
I can never be a robot they control nigga
No matter what don't let these label take your soul nigga
I'm on go, I won't fold
I'm no slave, let them know nigga yeah
Let's start the grammy awards
Make sure the camera's on point
Make sure Hov at the front
Make sure Bey at the front
AOTY gets awarded
Black man snubbed for the podium
16 years and going
Still our culture's stolen
Make sure Hov at the front
Make sure Bey at the front
Merica sees what it wants
Blind to the strife of voiceless
Still gon' rock our chains
Still gon' use black slang
Use our genre for profit
Then throw dirt on its name
Make sure Hov at the front
Make sure Bey at the front
Use our legends for ratings
All your ways archaic
Still gone steal our drums
Mockingbird like how you mimic our hums
Recolor our fruit, pass off as your plums
Make sure Hov at the front
Make sure Bey at the front
Merica sees what it wants
Merica sees what it wants
Merica sees what it wants
