Testo What They Do - Ms Banks & TE dness
Testo della canzone What They Do (Ms Banks & TE dness), tratta dall'album F&Y Presents the Tape (F&Y Presents the Tape)
Maniac
I ride for my sisters
From when I used to wear kickers
Bought 'til my feet got blisters
Ride for my niggas
It could be my brother or my mister
'Cause I feel the pain, I been with ya
See the bigger picture
Fuck the oppression and the stigma
Who's the real victim and the killers?
I know some real drillers
I see that they don't appreciate your figure
But they cattin' for them gyal with lip fillers
Shame on me, actually, it's sad to see
You don't rate the reflection of you naturally
You can have all of your preferences and big them up
But you don't like your own, that's kinda mad to me
'Cause the blacker the berry (Berry), the sweeter the juice (Juice)
I had my foot on their necks, they had my head in the noose (Woo)
How you makin' a decision that's not based on the truth?
They been cookin' up division and the puddin' is proof
But I been tryna stack, tryna maintain
Goin' insane in the membrane
Wanted to be us 'til the feds came
Everything changed since my pen game (Wow)
Just a Black girl in a white world
I just blacked out 'til I saw curls
Flow so sick, man, I might hurl
Now they treat us like a white pearl
Just a little Black boy in a white world
Standin' by the stove, I get whitewashed
I'm on mainstream radio, blackin' out
Phones ringin' on me, G, I can't turn my lines off
I had visions of Black power
Every block they put us in turns into a crack tower
Had to make do, family always came first
It was hard to get employed, so I had to get work (Work)
Me and sis had to side, that's equality
You do the kickers, I'ma do the Wallabees
You wrap your headscarf, I'ma do this nappy top
Tannin' in the sun, feelin' like I ain't Black enough
We need it all, none of my ones settle in
Ridin' for the cause, all of my ones pedalin'
Side by side or we'll never win
If it's for my brother, then it's trouble worth gettin' in
Nothin' kept us closer than the melanin, ooh
I been tryna stack, tryna maintain
Goin' insane in the membrane
Wanted to be us 'til the feds came
Everything changed since my pen game
Just a Black girl in a white world
I just blacked out 'til I saw curls
Flow so sick, man, I might hurl
Now they treat us like a white pearl
Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do
Yo, Father, please forgive them, they got no idea
We'll be right here, rejoicin' when they cry tears
Would be lyin' if I said that life quite fair
All my sisters is queens, but all they dreams was nightmares
I been tryna stack, tryna maintain
Goin' insane in the membrane
Wanted to be us 'til the feds came
Everything changed since my pen game
Just a Black girl in a white world
I just blacked out 'til I saw curls
Flow so sick, man, I might hurl
Now they treat us like a white pearl
