I pray for success for my loved ones
Whether love lost or it’s love won
Many love, but it’s one love
Lotta downsides, and there’s one up
Listen to me close, til I’m overheard (herd) like a shepherd
We speak of the Third World like in third person, but it’s one Earth
One vision, two eyes, and one third
Competition? I see none
Only one God, but I still aspire to be one
I’m on one mic, spitting one life that never dies
My Black so beautiful why would I ever dye?
One-one-one-one
One-one-one-one
One-one-one-one
Somebody gotta be the one
To unify, you and I, singularity, universally
We being what? We being one
One-one-one-one
One-one-one... one
One... one... one... one
One... one
One-one-one-one
Somebody gotta be the one
To unify, you and I, singularity, universally
We being one
Looking at my iPhone 10 and it reads 1-1-1-1
Spiritual awakening, I answered my calling; it was on line one
Can I do it on my own? Nah
Everybody needs some one
You win some and lose some
It’ll add up one day into one sum
I found the queen of my dreams
I play her pussy so much, I gave her one million streams
She ain’t a one hit wonder
She’s a Pyramid of Giza
An African classic
Everybody searching for the better half
Not me though, she’s the new beginning
Like the one, she the one, we are one
Like one and one equal one
We are balanced, we are woke
It ain’t one-sided (sighted) like a cyclops, and we hope
Black men make it home in one piece
It’s a war zone, and we want peace
How many lives do these wars own?
Not one, but
One-one-one-one
One-one-one-one
One-one-one-one
Somebody gotta be the one
To unify, you and I, singularity, universally
We being what? We being one
One-one-one-one
One-one-one-one
One... one... one... one
One... one
One-one-one-one
Somebody gotta be the one
To unify, you and I, singularity, universally
We being one
Elevate your ones right now
Elevate your ones right now
The one is the leader
It is the unifying principle that initiates
The one has initiative
Its life path is an initiation
The one is independent
The one is fundamental
All is in one
And one is in all

Fail once, succeed twice, then retry
Get up, what, get up, what, get up, man
Fail once, succeed twice, then retry
All faith, but no work? Then you should resign
Now is the time to reanimate and recalibrate
Reevaluate reality and recalculate
Forgive the ignorance, don’t retaliate
With ridicule, just power down, then reactivate
Black Superman recharged by
Ultraviolet rays
Cognitive speed reaction faster than Sonic’s brain
Alarm the world with god level reawakening
Just so a messiah can return back to slavery
The school of reincarnation, we live and we learn
To relive and relearn, every gift
Every curse
Afterlife is life, that’s a rebirth
Resurrect from a hearse, that’s a rehearse-al
And that was recent
I was re-sent
To this life in a melanated avatar that I respawned in
If you react wrong, I’m not responding
Fail once, succeed twice, then retry
I request the question then I reply
Rely on the process, then I refine
Fail once, succeed twice, then retry
All faith, but no work? Then you
Should resign
All faith, but no work? Then you should resign
Every single moment is ripe for evolution
But June 28th is just another revolution
Around the Sun, ha ha, recycle the energy
My life is just a memory
That’s reimagined as a dream
It’s a Total Recall when I wake up
Remaking my genetic make up
Chakras getting rebalanced as
I re-center
Deja vu when I remember
Foresight is a review from a rear view
History doesn’t repeat itself, it appears to
So I make history, then I rewrite it
Each verse like a magic spell when I recite it
I rewrote my verse, call it a re-verse
Re-examine that in your research
Then report as I resort
To a strict diet of gratitude
Restrictions on the remorse
Fail once, succeed twice, then retry
I request the question then I reply
Rely on the process, then I refine
Fail once, succeed twice, then retry
All faith, but no work? Then you should resign
All faith, but no work? Then you should resign
I was fresh before, but now I’m refreshed
Onset, I’ma set it off, till it’s reset
Devils playground or it’s God’s gym
I’ll work it out during recess
With a heavy heart, I emotionally repress
Like it’s bench press, I need relief
Cause I’m depressed
Took a deep breath, respire as I recline
Rethinking freedom in a free mind
Or how to reinvent the wheel when I retire
I know a lot, but know-it-alls need a reminder
Gotta make you recognize what I iterate
Cause it irritates whenever I reiterate
Had a premonition twice, that’s a revision
Anything I reject is the resistance
I’m spiritual, not religious
Being woke is reorganized religion
Blessed
Fail once, succeed twice, then retry
I request the question then I reply
Rely on the process, then I refine
Fail once, succeed twice, then retry
All faith, but no work? Then you
Should resign
All faith, but no work? Then you should resign
Fail once, succeed twice, then retry
Retry
Fail once, succeed twice, then retry
Retry

Understanding, forgiveness
Patience, understanding, forgiveness
Patience, understanding, forgiveness
Understanding, forgiveness
My confidence
Swaying back and forth like ocean tides
I'm a Cancer crab, a water sign
You know how fluid gets, my mood is unpredictable
But the ebb and flow is intelligible
I’m intuitive, mysterious, and luminous
Like the moon is
I’m in tune with
It’s gravity, which is a music unheard but it's vibrant
A sensitive creature dancing to it
Like compliant
Citizens, I tend to be a good Samaritan
But I'm an African, living like Americans
Clingy like staticky clothes
As far as emotions go
It’s a red light being vulnerable
Gotta stop it
Skepticism so toxic, you get nauseous
Being cold-hearted? That’s a hot topic
So, it goes without saying that we drop it
I’m giving patience, understanding, forgiveness
Patience, understanding, forgiveness
I’m giving patience, understanding, forgiveness
Patience, understanding, forgiveness
No questions, no comments
Not even Small talk, it's more like Microscopic
Hardly visible
Harder to explain what I feel, a complicated creature with simple hopes
Sensual whenever I’m getting physical
Spiritual signals interwove with your inner soul
I don't wanna clash like a cymbal
That's a lot of noise that will make the sex miserable
A love unconditional
We all want it, but giving it is just too difficult
Still, I take on the task
To put you first so our relationships last
At least until you violate the law of love
Being unloving is unlawful
So awful
And also sacrilegious
I either take a passive act of vengeance or an active distance
Patience, understanding, forgiveness
Patience, understanding, forgiveness
I’m giving patience, understanding, forgiveness
Patience, understanding, forgiveness
Patience, understanding
Understanding
Understanding, yea
Understanding, whoa

Scorpio
05:46
|
|||
I’m the mayor of Intense-City
Where passivity is criminal
I’m Scorpio, the critical analytical
Scientific, independent
Knowledge is power, and
I’m power hungry
Hate to admit it
But it’s no secret, I know secrets
If I share mine and you don’t keep
Them you will see no cheesing
And no meeting between us like
I was so Vegan
Keeping my distance like odometers
With every move your making
Being monitored
It’s a fact
Betrayal is the kind of poetry to make me snap
And cut you off ‘cause I have
Trust issues
I believe the only one to truly trust is you
And God, of all the zodiacs, I’m the hardest
To love, ‘cause I tend to have the darkest
Personality, but I don’t need your sympathy
I see the moral universe differently
You ain’t gotta guess I’ll say it joyfully
My favorite drink is that loyal-tea
Loyal-tea, loyal-tea
If you love it, then you gotta show me
If you love it, then you gotta show me
You ain’t gotta guess I’ll say it joyfully
My favorite drink is that loyal-tea
Loyal-tea, loyal-tea
If you love it, then you gotta show me
If you love it, then you gotta show me
The villainy, the trickery
The destructive energy that lives in me
Is cold-blooded as Sub-Zero
A Scorpion is how I appear though
Meaning I’m my own worst enemy
Half-Plutonian, half-Martian
There’s no Half-Stepping or half-marching
On my spiritual path to enlightenment
My mental presence is a psychic gift
Your mind can get read like a ruby
By this water sign, it’s a given that I’m moody
Whether goofy, irritated, ecstatic, or depressive
Apprehensive, I don’t take the backseat
Unless I’m sexing
And on the topic, you know who the best is
But please take discretion
A true Scorpio doesn’t kiss and tell
You can tell by the kiss if your lips
Listen well
You ain’t gotta guess I’ll say it joyfully
My favorite drink is that loyal-tea
Loyal-tea, loyal-tea
If you love it, then you gotta show me
If you love it, then you gotta show me
You ain’t gotta guess I’ll say it joyfully
My favorite drink is that loyal-tea
Loyal-tea, loyal-tea
If you love it, then you gotta show me
If you love it, then you gotta show me
And I mean what I say, and I mean
What I said
I’m a human in the streets, but a
Beast in the bed
The freak in me, is the frequency
Don’t freak out, but I need sex
Frequently
Yea, sex drive like a semi
Truck, with a full tank of lust
And as much as I love to this deliver
This wood
I really love being understood
Simple-minded folks paint us as the menace
Because we don’t go with the flow
The flow goes with us
Ambitious and aggressive
Scorpio, cut my name to an apostrophe S
Cause I’m possessive
I hold a grudge quicker than I hold a conversation
But I won’t hold my tongue from a confrontation
Argumentative when necessary
Communicating with the
Facts/fax like old school secretaries
You ain’t gotta guess I’ll say it joyfully
My favorite drink is that loyal-tea
Loyal-tea, loyal-tea
If you love it, then you gotta show me
If you love it, then you gotta show me
You ain’t gotta guess I’ll say it joyfully
My favorite drink is that loyal-tea
Loyal-tea, loyal-tea
If you love it, then you gotta show me
If you love it, then you gotta show me
Being right is an obsession
I have low tolerance for guessing
I’ll give you a proper education
If nobody ever taught you not
Question my dedication
You ain’t gotta guess I’ll say it joyfully
My favorite drink is that loyal-tea
Loyal-tea, loyal-tea
If you love it, then you gotta show me
Cause my small circle of friends
Already know I don’t mind be lonely
I need more space than I need homies
And much more if they’re phonies
That wanna know me
There’s no need and I’m determined
That they don’t see
So determined sometimes I forget
What no means
Misperceived as so mean, that is so me
The world-famous enigma
Jealous and suspicious with a mystical charisma
Would tell you more but I’m closed
Book in a vault
What you thought
You ain’t gotta guess I’ll say it joyfully
My favorite drink is that loyal-tea
Loyal-tea, loyal-tea
If you love it, then you gotta show me
If you love it, then you gotta show me
You ain’t gotta guess I’ll say it joyfully
My favorite drink is that loyal-tea
Loyal-tea, loyal-tea
If you love it, then you gotta show me
If you love it, then you gotta show me

Pink Envelope
02:50
|
|||
Lemme get that wet wet
Girl you know better
I can make it wetter
That pink envelope between your thighs
Is a thirst trap that I wanna be in
I gotta looong DM
That I wanna Slide in
Like a private conversation
Pull those panties to side, and
Talk your shit, rotate that clit, clockwise
Counter clockwise, that’s how you play with the timing 2000 s.e.c.s
Do the math, that’s a whole lot of sex
You already know what I’m into
Thick lips with the lips glossed
Oh yea, the ones above chin too
What I’m into? I meant you
Lemme dip the head in, get it baptized
Call it salvation
You’re a glutton for the big dick
You’re my waitress here’s a big tip
Pull it out, put it back in you
Pussy talk back like it gotta attitude
So sassy with it
How you nasty with it and still classy with it
Ass clapping like an encore
Cause you want more
Aggressive when I’m groping you
More aggressive when I’m stroking you and choking you
Quiver when I tell you not move
Telling you not to cream, and that I’ll fuck you harder if you do
I love it when you scream
And the pitch is so high I can barely hear a thing
Hate to call you out your name, but you tell me that it’s fine
So I whisper in your ear: bitch tell that it’s mine
While I’m pulling on your hair
Suck your neck, lick your face
Dig you out, bury my bone
Say your name, and then you moan
You remind me of a Jeep? Nah
You remind me of my next BMW
Let’s make another u and another u
That’s a double you
Cause I ain’t shooting up the club, I’m shooting up the school
Till my kids run outta you
But, this is not a terrorist attack, it’s
Baby-making practice
We’re trying reach perfection when we practice
We’re on the same team, so we practice
Real moans, no fake ones
Real dick, no fake ones
Real orgasms, no fake ones
Why watch porn when we can make one
Only DM that I wanna Slide In
Is the pink envelope between your thighs
I gotta 8 page poem and it’s private
I wanna fit the whole thing inside it

Altruism

I just wanna take you home
You already feel that way
I just wanna make you cum
Then I wanna make you stay
You know I’m an open book
I love how you’re reading me
Must be the God in you
Don’t know what you see in me
I’m tripping
Must be the God in me
Must be
Must be the the God in me
That’s right
Love how you pray to me
Love how you pray for me
I love how you patiently
Gracefully, shamelessly
Courageously, amazingly, tenaciously
Understand and keep your
Faith in me
Your love isn’t make believe
But it makes me believe
That you were made for me
If love me
Yea, yea if you love me
Show me
That’s right, yea, yea
If you feel me
Yea, yea, if you feel me
Hold me
That’s right, yea, yea
I just wanna take you home
You already feel that way
I just wanna make you cum
Then I wanna make you stay
You know I’m an open book
I love how you’re reading me
Must be the God in you
Don’t know what you see in me
I’m tripping
Must be the God in me
Must be
Must be the the God in me
That’s right
Love how you pray to me
Love how you pray for me
I love how you patiently
Gracefully, shamelessly
Courageously, amazingly, tenaciously
Understand and keep your
Faith in me
Your love isn’t make believe
But it makes me believe
That you were made for me
If love me
Yea, yea if you love me
Show me
That’s right, yea, yea
If you feel me
Yea, yea, if you feel me
Hold me
That’s right, yea, yea
Give all
Yourself, yourself
To me

Am I wrong? That I don't want
An ordinary diva
To yearn for an Afrocentric leader
I'd rather have a Queen of Sheba
A freedom queen
A trap queen
Is not what I seem to be in need of
Indeed a, proper queendom
Should compliment my kingdom
Of black intelligence, no reason to
Think we dumb
Illuminated consciousness
Epitomized beacons
Of light-love is how their people see
Them 'cause can become
Greatness, which we exhibit like museums
And we don't care how it goes down in the DMs
That's a bad religion that I'm not practicing with
But tell me if I'm wrong for not wanting the baddest bitches
Most of these THOTs are capitalistic
But they don't handle their business
So how can they handle a good man with commitment
Guess they lack the logistics, maybe their dad was missing
I might not know the half but I know the damn statistics
Am I wrong if I’m losing myself
Could it be I’m losing myself
Can she say I’m losing myself
In you I’m losing myself tonight
I want an original woman, I'm not
Seeking a copy
Someone who knows who they are
And they know what I'm not, see
I'm not a Cuban drug lord
So if you're calling me daddy or papi
Then I'm not messing with Jew like a Nazi
I'm seeking godly, not a woman
Who's gaudy
Or haughty, I want her confident instead of being cocky
And am I wrong if I don't care for side chic
I love an hourglass, but can she show me that she's timeless
Divine bliss, soldier of
Love, military minded
Kills with kindness, but it doesn't mean she's violent
But that doesn't mean she can't be
Overall, she still attracts me
Elation, celebration, she makes me so damn happy
I'm behind her all the way, unless we’re switching positions
My knowledge talks and she listens
Her wisdom walks and I follow
Until today is tomorrow
I heard that now is forever
And that forever is God, so it’s good
Am I wrong if I’m losing myself
Could it be I’m losing myself
Can she say I’m losing myself
In you I’m losing myself tonight
Our destination is now, I guess for now this is God
So it's good, I hope it's all understood
But am I wrong? Am I tripping
What am I missing
Am I old-fashioned? This new fashion they’re giving
Is classless like Communism
Sharing your assets, and that phat ass
On Instagram, for the masses to have access
Am I wrong to think that's madness
To think it's my eyes, they're for/four
Like I'm wearing glasses
To stick together like glue on a magnet
Stuck to glue on another magnet
Is a woman so real that this becomes
Hard to imagine? Damn
I don't think that I'm grown
But I still think I can grow
Wiser with my equal, someone to give me balance
A marriage, a real challenge, not a Facebook pageant
I don't need a trophy wife, I need more than an actress
Sure, nobody is perfect, that's 'cause nobody will practice
Am I wrong if I’m losing myself
Could it be I’m losing myself
Can she say I’m losing myself
In you I’m losing myself tonight
I don't wanna fall in love like some of
These guys I know
I wanna rise in love until the skies
Above transform to the skies below
Am I wrong to be above the nonsense
Does that make me sort of pompous
Am I wrong for being honest
To think that love should make you conscious
At least that's how it seems to me
I'm feeling like a Prince Akeem
That doesn't need a Queen B, but a Queen to be
The one who awakens my inner deity
As I’m
I’m losing myself
I’m losing myself
I’m losing myself
I’m losing myself tonight

When it comes to dreams
The first thing we think
Is Martin Luther King
And by any means
We think about Malcolm
When we think of queens
Well, do we think about them
Think about a pharaoh
You don’t about a she
You think about a he ‘cause you don’t think that she can be
And this is just one way that
History repeats like a metronome
Study the rhythm of the times
It’s inevitable
A Black woman will be head of the O
V-A-L Office
Shirley Chisholm was the first
Not the last, that’s a promise
A feminine Messiah like Isis
Sounds two/too fishy like Pisces
Or maybe it’s official as a Spike Lee
Joint, he said She Gotta Have it
Black girl magic
Circa since the 90’s when they used
To be Snappin
Like (Snaps) and shit would just happen
Black woman you are powerful
Black woman is divine
Black woman ruled Khemet
That was in another time
Black woman was a pharaoh
Black woman was a pharaoh
What if history repeats
I wonder how society would be
Circa since Egypt
Before the Cleopatras
Cause they were Macedonian or Roman, not African
Imagine if
I campaigned to make Egypt
Black again
Put it on a hat and then fashion it
Maybe my implication
Would be ass backwards
Like reverse discrimination
I’m remembering the greatness
Hieroglyphically picturing Hatshepsut
The first female pharaoh in 15th century BCE
If we define Black beauty, Black woman is the source
And any synonyms
Black woman’s a thesaurus
Google Black Beauty
You’ll probably see a horse
If we say Black Jesus do we really
Mean Horus
I’m talking bout sun worship
Distorted by Phoenicians and Europeans
If you don’t see it, you’re a peon
Or maybe I am, ‘cause
It’s topic I don’t speak on
Black woman you are powerful
Black woman is divine
Black woman ruled Khemet
That was in another time
Black woman was a pharaoh
Black woman was a pharaoh
What if history repeats?
I wonder how society would be
Black history is beyond
And before the slave trade
Maybe I could trade in my
Slave name the same way
Dan Aykrod and Eddie Murphy Traded place
I trade stock, but I won’t trade races
Even though sometimes
It’s Black folks
That’ll count you out
Like the Black Vote
It’s a pharaoh’s dream
So I’m half-woke
Jesus was the White hope
Malcolm was the Black hope
Cleanse away my sins
Using Black Soap
That’s a lotta Black bars that
I’m cleansing with
Black tits get more support
Than Black businesses
Maybe we can change our priorities
If not a few of them
At least the majority
In pharaoh’s dream
Black woman is supreme
By every means protect her
And let her lead
Don’t let another person
Tell you different
Some of the best leaders are born Black women

Sweet Life
03:22
|
|||
Savor my flavor, it’s a sweet life
Heavy thoughts, but I speak light
Peace in, bring the peace out
Nonviolent, I ain’t gotta bring the piece out
Joy, I exhibit like Jay Electronica
I remember life as an uncut diamond, I had it tough
But I always had enough
I’m in different time but the
Same space, same space
Goodness is a dessert and it tastes great
Tastes great, taste great
Serve it so well that you say grace, say grace
I go with the flow
But my flow Superior like the Great Lakes
Same hand, but a new wave
New hi for a new day
That’s a HeyDay
In this sweet life, watch a Black man rise like a souffle
They try break a brotha down into loose change
I’m going in like I don’t know where the exit is
Major moves: that’s an Exodus
I’m feeling like my credit score: excellent
My money moves like a mime
Cause it don’t talk
I turn fast money into slow walks
On the beach, that’s a steady income
Bad spending habits outrun
But they die young like Queen and Slim
Or ghetto boys from the slums
Doing dumb shit for the fun
Or living life only for the funds
Like it’s fundamental
Money on ya mind, just to fund the mental
State, the currency of my mind’s economy
Is bright ideas, such a golden mind
So much gold in mine
Turn the Bronze Age to the Golden Age
When I think of time
Think Lebron’s Age when you think of mine
Word to King James, this is King John
But I’m African
My skin color on the Dark Side like Anakin
Skywalker: animated with the toons/tunes
Yes, I’m talking bout the music
Sun god in my movements
My sundance got the moon lit
Like oooh shit
I humble down, but I still keep a bright feel
Cheap nighas couldn’t bring me down like their light bill
I don’t see a threat
I just be silent like b in debt
But that’s not where I wanna be
I’m a real man, not a wanna-be
If you don’t wanna be then you wanna see
What a real man is
Dropping gems for the kids, I know they’re royalty
Intelligence flamboyantly
Worn, I’m a genius, but that’s old news
Been a fresh heir since ‘02
Y’all better learn how to breathe again
I’m a breath of fresh air: O2
A pure high
A pure love when the queens wanna hold you
They don’t wanna exhale
They’re giving their ex hell
Friend ships sink but the sex sails
Women with an attitude complain
How they can’t keep a brother like Cain
I know Y like I’m good at Algebra
When I rap, talk to em like a counselor
Lemme counsel you
I hill (heal), you hill (heal), till we are A Mountain (amountin) to
Much more
Just like Rushmore
But we gotta slow it down, stay blessed
Say what? Say less
All I gotta do is say yes
Sweet life, taste test
Better know the flavor
Act like you know like a poker player
Bluff
Gotta samurai sword for a tongue
I don’t mean to be blunt
No team tryouts but I still make the cut
Through the bullshit
From the Internet to the pulpit
Looking past you
My ancestors suffered so I didn’t have to
Lotta gratitude in my attitude
The Blacker the berry, the sweetest delight
I’m not from Sweden, I’ll Sweden/sweetin your life
Though, yo
Make you fall in love with my cocoa
Science proves that it improves your blood flow

The Blvckness
04:51
|
|||
People who don’t see color showing their true color
We’re all hue man
But what hue is you
I’m 50 Langston Hughes
Darker than Hugh Jackman
But y’all got the nerve to mistreat me
Like I’m the mutant
I’m Luke Cage with this melanination
It’s amazing
My Black is more of a Superpower
Than China is
Muscle, bone, and brain are warmed
By a mahogany coat of solar panels
Who needs electric companies
When I’m generating this Black Power
Dopeness per hour
By the kilo watt
We get charged with death penalties for our innocent existence
So we protest to legalize Blackness
Hair is kinky but it’s not a fetish
Black woman says you’ll catch these
Hands before you can ever touch this
No spared feelings, no cares given
There’s no Karen their world
There’s Atatiana, Breonna, Aura Janisha, Tanisha
Say their names, say their names
Y’all acting kind of shady
For a people who don’t see color
The darker the melanin, the less intelligent
They used to claim
I’m dark like the neuromelanin in your brain
That protects you from Parkinson’s Disease
So all lives have Black thoughts
Paranoid when they hear those Black voices
In their head
Stealing their sleep and peace of mind
As reparations for stealing our language
But couldn’t steal our rhythm
And wouldn’t you be sad if we made the Blues Black again
Our walk, our talk, our sex is smooth as Jazz
And even that has an African genotype
The flesh of Rock ‘n’ Roll and Disco
Was Micheal Jackson’s skin tone
Until he Bleached it
It all goes to show that Blackness is Soul
It doesn’t die
It reincarnates over many genres
It transcends physicality
It’s mentality + spirituality
Where you can speak proper English
Think like a Negus, feel like a nigga
But act like a god or goddess
It is brilliant resilience
Rich in spirit, impoverished living
Fatherless and still smarter
Than 90% of the class
It’s surviving slavery, thriving like it didn’t happen
But living like our ancestors never died
They are reborn as Us today
Not for vengeance but for healing
It’s laughing so hard you gotta run off and come back
It’s Kool-Aid smiles with gangsta grills
It’s doo rags and head wraps
It’s kicks instead of shoes
It’s, I’m trying to be like you, but I’m also doing me
It’s Kwanza and Juneteenth
Wazzup with two zz’s
You speak when you enter my house
But if I see you in the street
I greet you with a head nod from 20 feet away
You good? means 7 different things
And they’re all understood
Everything is written over our Black Face
So you can see what we’re thinking
It’s never about what you say
But how you say it
It’s Vodoun, Santeria, Ifa, the Orishas
It’s ancestor worship
Blackness is liberation
Black boy joy and Black girl Magic
Killing linguistic semantics
Giving good meaning to bad words
Blackness is the word
And the word is with God
So the God body is a Black body
And mine was mirrored in God’s imagination
Black since the Moors
Black since the Nubians
Black since the Khemetians
Black since the Atlanteans
Black since the Semites
Went from having a dream
To staying woke
Its one drop of this Blackness in your blood
And you’re one of us
As long as you were raised by The Village
You think you’re not racist
Because you have biracial children
But so did the slave masters

You’re homophobic but you showing
These nighas ya anus
Kind of heinous like thinking
Thought clouds
Of weed smoke, you choke when I think out loud
I’m particulate, minus the P
That sounds much better than you reading out loud
Getting gassed up, being belligerent
Too concerned with being lit than literate
The online trash talk? Take it to
The streets, just litter it
Cause I figure it’s
Like Peter Dinklage taking a dump
Come on that’s little shit
Treating the gossip like it’s gospel
Nose so deep in their business even you’re snot knows
You’re not about change
How you a real man with
Fake outrage
You cosplay as a king but you act like a rook
You need to do less scrolling and
Open a book
Made in God’s image, I’m photogenic
Loving my light like a photo fetish
Mentally attractive, ultra magnetic
Black goddess wanna copy
My genetics
Cause I’m a real king, you’re a rook
You ain’t a real king, you’re a rook
Black goddess wanna copy
My genetics
Cause I’m a real king, you’re a rook
Getting pissed
Over things you don’t control
Got the smallest opinion like it’s the biggest dick
You gotta wonder why none of these women feeling it
That’s a lie, they feel it more than a little bit
Your fake outrage is like a dildo
They fuck with it hard, still isn’t real though
To improve your likeness, you post for likes
Big dick energy, right
Venereal type
Entitled to an opinion even if it ain’t true
We don’t compare ‘cause my shit is
The truth
While you scream out “faaaacts” on opinions you agree with
Like a seamstress with the flu, you seem/seam sick
In the head, forget about the parodies
These copycats are parroting
Let’s talk therapy
Act like a fool, specialize in the drama
With a misguided obsession over commas
Made in God’s image, I’m photogenic
Loving my light like a photo fetish
Mentally attractive, ultra magnetic
Black goddess wanna copy
My genetics
Cause I’m a real king, you’re a rook
You ain’t a real king, you’re a rook
Black goddess wanna copy
My genetics
Cause I’m a real king, you’re a rook
Read between the lines, see a lot of
The ones that make you take pause
They say who you think you are
I’m a nobody with a great body
That rocks the party that rocks
Your body
I’m built like Samson without the dreadlocks
Love my freedom so much I even dread locks
Modesty in my hyperbole
Speak life into ya soul with such certainty
A motivational speaker, not a teacher
But I represent lifetime of teachable moments
Unspeakable motives
Like head nods to my brothers in the streets
Agreeable motion
Uh, to let them know that I see you and respect you
Even if I never met you
I pray you’re a better father than your father was
So much tough love, you’re afraid to soften up
Made in God’s image, I’m photogenic
Loving my light like a photo fetish
Mentally attractive, ultra magnetic
Black goddess wanna copy
My genetics
Cause I’m a real king, you’re a rook
You ain’t a real king, you’re a rook
Black goddess wanna copy
My genetics
Cause I’m a real king, you’re a rook

Isolation
05:17

All this peer pressure, makes me wanna isolate
All this damn drama, makes me wanna isolate
If I can’t trust you, then I have to isolate
I don’t trust myself, so I have to isolate
All this peer pressure, makes me wanna isolate
All this damn drama, makes me wanna isolate
If I can’t trust you, then I have to isolate
I don’t trust myself, so I have to isolate
I so early, no, isolate, call it bad timing
I don’t want to violate
Lemme find my hiding space
Hopefully my mind escapes, want to reach a higher place
Building up the confidence, Empire State, til the sky is scraped
Like coffin ceilings
Buried in my feelings
I’m feeling indifferent
Life or death situation: I can’t
Tell the difference
Found a reason to smile
But my smile was counterfeit
Guess I don’t amount to shit
Keep myself preoccupied so
I won’t have the time to cry
Only the strong survive
I died a thousand times
Even though I only live one life
I’m renting just to own it
To find out that I owe it
All this peer pressure, makes me wanna isolate
All this damn drama, makes me wanna isolate
If I can’t trust you, then I have to isolate
I don’t trust myself, so I have to isolate
All this peer pressure, makes me wanna isolate
All this damn drama, makes me wanna isolate
If I can’t trust you, then I have to isolate
I don’t trust myself, so I have to isolate
7 light years of emotional distance
Heart rate is Speedy Gonzales
Running with a quickness
As I’m sitting still
Heated from an argument, but
I just need to chill
I heard they manufacture meditation in a pill
For mass appeal but I don’t think it’s real
Truth is hard to swallow, if you’re hungry, then you will
Make it happen, but What the Bleep Do We Know
Red pill, blue pill, both of them placebos
Democrat, Republican
I don’t see color, I mean I don’t fuck with none of it
Not even pornographically, it’s virtual insanity
Fake personalities, battling
My mental health becomes a casualty
I can’t exercise my right to get
Things wrong
Saying less is more, I’m getting short to get a long
To be alone like I owe it to myself I’m behind on my payments
I guess I’ll keep delaying
All this peer pressure, makes me wanna isolate
All this damn drama, makes me wanna isolate
If I can’t trust you, then I have to isolate
I don’t trust myself, so I have to isolate
All this peer pressure, makes me wanna isolate
All this damn drama, makes me wanna isolate
If I can’t trust you, then I have to isolate
I don’t trust myself, so I have to isolate
My heart is the Four Seasons resort
She stays the night, then she leaves
Doesn’t text, doesn’t call until she needs
Another vacation, who taught you
Queens to treat kings like slaves
Just to call it a boss move
Say what I deserve but you don’t give it to me
Glad you find it amusing
I find it confusing
Practice what you preach, but
Preaching just ain’t my style
Myself is vibe that I haven’t felt
In a while
I tell you I’m fine, you know it’s a lie
You say that I’m dope
I cannot get high off my own supply
Too humble for narcissism, your arrogance is cheap
Good woman, you are, but not committed as you think
Your just another love song for my
Heart to do the break dance to
I need new dance moves
I’m just a Black man without the
Freedom to be me
I isolate to exercise my freedom
To be weak
All this peer pressure, makes me wanna isolate
All this damn drama, makes me wanna isolate
If I can’t trust you, then I have to isolate
I don’t trust myself, so I have to isolate
All this peer pressure, makes me wanna isolate
All this damn drama, makes me wanna isolate
If I can’t trust you, then I have to isolate
I don’t trust myself, so I have to isolate
Isolate, isolate
Isolate, Isolate
Isolate, isolate

Good people in your corner
Good people in your corner
Are you good, are you good
To the people in your
Do you support your supporters
Are you a fan of your fans
Are you good to the, uh, good people in your corner
Do you speak life or do you take it
Do understand the ones who understand you
And if don’t, do you plan to
Intentions unseen, but what’s clear is your habits
You asking where is the loyalty? I thought that you had it
I want you all to prosper even if I’m not benefiting
I’m beneficent, bitch nighas are so Maleficent
We share the same skin color, the same pain
But the love we share don’t feel the same
They say love is what it does
I’m a reflection of you
Do I make your self clearer when you judge
Just because you’re giving dap doesn’t mean you give a shit
You don’t have to ask for forgiveness, I’m freely giving it
I was the one who bailed you out, it’s crazy
You giving praises to your Jesus after the hell that you gave me
Do you have
Good people in your corner
Do you have
Good people in your corner
Do you have, do you have
Good people in your corner? Do you have
Good people in your corner

Good people in your corner
Yea, good people in your corner
Are you helping your helpers? Do you assist your assistants
Do you pay what you owe? Are you consistent
Can you return the encouragement with compassion plus interest
Real recognize real? Real looking suspicious
Is your word really bond? Is your ego involved
Do you clap back or do genuinely applaud
There’s a difference, speaking from the soul, I don’t need to hear the pride
There’s a tribe called love and no one’s bigger than the tribe
This is not a competition, if it is, love always comes first
If we’re all in
Like a hurricane, we’ll be coming with a strong win/Wind
From our hussle, victory lap
400 Meter relay, we will Reach Back
If you fall back
Saving daylight is what we call that
Still, I got abandonment issues, I can’t stand the disorder
Funny how you mistreat me, because I’m still in your corner
Good people

Good people in your corner
Yea, good people in your corner
Are you strong for the strong ones
Are you riding 'cause it’s convenient or striving for the long run
Can you give back what you ask for
Are you up for up for the task
Are you listening first? Would you offer your last
Cut you off over money? Nah it’s the principle
A friendship worth $200 - shit is pitiful
I get it though, you think I don’t know
Maybe you think that I’m slow
Maybe this verse is a blizzard, guess I’m speaking in cold/code
Oh, you got me feeling unsure
Broken promises get old as my mentality matures
Always calling to vent with all that negative spewing
Never calling to ask just to see how I’m doing
And I’m doing the most, and saying the least, but could you believe
A Black man could wear depression this effortlessly
Like no one else in my corner unless I flatline
And everyone’s on my timeline for the last time
But they’re good people though
Do you have
Good people in your corner
Do you have
Good people in your corner
Do you have, do you have

To all my Black people
Are you good? Are you good

Are we good? Are we good
To my tribe, to my people
Do you have what you need

Plan for the plan, lemme show how I do this
Skywalker baby, yea I’m on always on the cool shhh
Vibing with the real ones, never with a Judas
If you didn’t know, you should know
I might be a Cancer, oh
Plan for the plan, lemme show how I do this
Skywalker baby, yea I’m on always on the cool shhh
Vibing with the real ones, never with a Judas
If you didn’t know, you should know
I might be a Cancer, oh
Plan for the plan, lemme show how I do this
Skywalker baby, yea I’m on always on the cool shhh
Vibing with the real ones, never with a Judas
If you didn’t know, you should know
I can pretend we’re close if you wanna act pretentious
But you’ll react defensive if I’m detached and senseless
I’m part-time manipulative
Full-time protective, all-time reflective
A Cancer male can tap into their feminine
Energy, we epitomize the gentleman
Attracted to the genuine
Attached to our sentiments
I stay looking at my past ‘cause that’s where the wisdom lives
I take residence in anything that’s tried and true
But if you think I’m not creative, someone lied to you
I mean what I gotta lie for?
My larynx gives you a clearer picture like an HDMI Cord
Or a good rub to an eyesore giving sight for
You to stay on top of your game like high scores
I might be a Cancer, oh
Plan for the plan, lemme show how I do this
Skywalker baby, yea I’m on always on the cool shhh
Vibing with the real ones, never with a Judas
If you didn’t know, you should know
I might be a Cancer, oh
Plan for the plan, lemme show how I do this
Skywalker baby, yea I’m on always on the cool shhh
Vibing with the real ones, never with a Judas
If you didn’t know, you should know
This Moon-child is psychic
By Your Side like Sade or a Sidekick
But don’t get it sideways, you adore us
You know good leaders need protectors and supporters
So we’re self-supportive, self-motivated
Cardinal signs, wise advisors, so persuasive
And inventive because we're indirect when
Expressing what we need or delivering a message
Nurturing and pensive, selective, observant
Resourceful, conservative, and introverted
That’s why I make security of many kinds
I save so much, I save the day for another time
Expect the unexpected, a hard lesson learned
That’s why I always have something in reserve
A plan for the plan - the stability
My superpower: rely-ability
I might be a Cancer, oh
Plan for the plan, lemme show how I do this
Skywalker baby, yea I’m on always on the cool shhh
Vibing with the real ones, never with a Judas
If you didn’t know, you should know
I might be a Cancer, oh
Plan for the plan, lemme show how I do this
Skywalker baby, yea I’m on always on the cool shhh
Vibing with the real ones, never with a Judas
If you didn’t know, you should know
A plan for the plan - the stability
My superpower: rely-ability
The ability to know what to rely on
Even if it’s not my self, I trust my shell

Cool, cool relaxed I am
Cool, relaxed I am
Cool, I am relaxed
Breathe it in, breathe it out stay
Cool, cool relaxed I am
Cool, relaxed I am
Cool, I am relaxed
Sun sinking in the ground
I’m elevated towards the clouds and I’m feeling proud
Stress: turn it down some
Love and happiness, I think I found some
In this pocket of solitude
Usually it’s how I roll like a Blanka Move
But I’m not alone, the trinity is here
Me, myself, and I - that’s what it constitutes
Past, present, and future having a conversation
In this temple of flesh, I’m giving honor to
The love inside, it’s stronger than pride
Stronger than yours, stronger than mine
Sky art: created with such patience
Music in the air, sound clouds, no paint brush
Appreciation is the ambiance
Conquered myself, eternal champion
Resting in my peace, resting in my truth
Used to battle my shadow, I’m calling a truce
Warrior king, rising to power
Like a sunflower to the sunshine
Getting high but I’m
Cool, cool relaxed I am
Cool, relaxed I am
Cool, I am relaxed
Breathe it in, breathe it out stay
Cool, cool relaxed I am
Cool, relaxed I am
Cool, I am relaxed
My mental elevation tells the secrets of my sole
Footprints in the clouds, the moon is at my toes
The stars is my mirror
Eyes in the skies, the future getting clearer
This is self reflection, I'm gone in 60 seconds
And in the 2nd 60, felt the brightest luminescence
In an ocean of air
And I became breathless
But I’m
Cool, cool relaxed I am
Cool, relaxed I am
Cool, I am relaxed
Breathe it in, breathe it out stay
Cool, cool relaxed I am
Cool, relaxed

Hard work, wet shirt
I came through dripping, drip drip
The floor is slick like Rick is
But you will never catch me slippin
I’m doing dip, dip, dips
Running this shit, won’t even trip
Body is tight, tight as my fist
Tight as my grip, gripping the bar
So I can lift, lift, lift
Botox on the whole body
Pump, pump, pump, pump it up
Treat the body like a shotty
Pump, pump, pump, pump it up
Muscle ups, chin ups like I was hit with a tiger uppercut
If you ain’t tired when you leave the dojo or the gym you ain’t done enough
I’m pulling up, one chain
Two hands, no pain, no gain, not true, slow gain
Like a catch phrase, run it back
Slow gain, slogan, same thing
Improve, maintain
If I ain’t done it, I will
If you did it, I done it
Repetitions so real
How I always keep 'em a hunnit
Uh, cheffin' up a regimen, I’m cooking now
This is not a push up, Earth is getting pushed down
Strong body, gotta stronger mind
Forget what you heard
Your strong body isn’t strong as mine
And that is my word
Strong body, gotta stronger mind
Your strong body isn’t strong as mine
It’s God level on another high
And that is my word
The way I exercise, got me turning heads
Like an exorcism
It’s an exhibition, it’s a resurrection when I’m deadlifting
Peep the execution, only one problem, lotta resolutions
You’re forever losing
I’m forever learning therefore, I am for evolution
We don’t think the same, we don’t eat the same
I originate from the spirit plane
Not Spirit Airlines, stupid
You’re on my time, and my time flies, that’s heir time
Cause I’m King John and I train hard, and I reign hard
Leave you with drippy apparel
Like coming to America, Lisa dumping Daryl
You ain’t gotta test me, I already come with results
Any situation, any set of bars
Will get handled like responsible adults
I’ma push it to the limit
Then the limits getting pushed
Even if I was born in Finland
I can never say I’m Finnish/finished
Temple building like a god
6 days and I rest on the 7th
Bruce Leeroy, when I glow up
Be nobody but yourself when you grow up
You’re cut from a different cloth? That’s cute
But you’re cut from a different fat
I’m cut from a different muscle
Will power, real hustle
Strong body, gotta stronger mind
Forget what you heard
Your strong body isn’t strong as mine
And that is my word
Strong body, gotta stronger mind
Your strong body isn’t strong as mine
It’s God level on another high
And that is my word

Keep the dream and give it to the Earth
Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the
Money is the goal, better love yourself first
Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth
If Black masculinity is under attack
I pray yours in more in tact than a diplomat
Dealing with toxicity in your kids’ mom
Constantly claiming everything is your fault
It’s ok to be weak, sometimes
Just remember that your children evolve when you're involved
You don’t always get the credit you deserve
I pray you’re being great, getting better, and unlearn
The negative self talk, I pray you get your turn
I pray you get your time
And you realize money ain’t all that you provide
We’re providers, it’s not just meals and paid bills
We provide life skills
Opportunity to grow, discipline, self-sufficiency
We provide the first model of dignity
Don’t let them tell that lie
The measure of a man is not by a dollar sign
Keep the dream and give it to the Earth
Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the
Money is the goal, better love yourself first
Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth
Keep the dream and give it to the Earth
Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the
Money is the goal, better love yourself first
Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth
I hope that you believe in yourself
I hope the king you see in me, is what you see in yourself
I hope you stop scheming but learn how to dream again
Grew up so fast, forgot how to be a kid
Cause when it comes to dreams
The first thing we think is Martin Luther King
Just to be clear, you ain’t gotta call me king
Call me a pharaoh, it means the same thing
And when you think “pharaoh”, think about she
We’re equal in our power so it means the same thing
And this is just one way that history repeats
Like a metronome
Study the rhythm of my rhyme, it’s inevitable Black people will reawaken
Master the ego to be the greatness
Kill the trauma, bury it in the dirt
But keep the dream alive and give it to the Earth
Keep the dream and give it to the Earth
Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the
Money is the goal, better love yourself first
Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth
Keep the dream and give it to the Earth
Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the
Money is the goal, better love yourself first
Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth
