Jenny
Jerome lives on the side of the town where the crime is high
Him, too, be getting high, watching time fly
Just to keep his mind off the fact he works a 9-5
Literally slaving just to put a couple dollars in his savings
And it's amazing how the pigment of his skin got the police feeling impatient
Cause its scary when you see a black man doing the speed limit in a brand new Honda Civic
That there is too suspicious, ain't it?
He said, "There's no gun in the car"
But they never listened
Instead they took it as resistance
So the officer just aims his Desert Eagle from a close distance
And now, the vibe is feeling different like
Nino
They tryna take a black man down tonight
Another nigga that look like me
And honestly
I've always felt like they ain't never like me
Nah
Because when
When Jenny want it
Jenny got it
If she like
Cause she lighter and she live on the other side
She ain't worried
No, she ain't worried about her life
When Jenny want it
Jenny got it
If she like
Cause she lighter and she live on the other side
She ain't worried
No, she ain't worried about her life
Mm
To whom it may concern, I'd like to make a statement
Freedom is not real until we get our reparations
And why is it that Shanquita can't work at your corporation
But Jenny gets the job before she sent her application?
Or why when Eric's in the store, he get his questions answered?
But when Dante's in the store, you rolling all the cameras?
We all humans that bleed the same
Can we come together?
Cause who are you to tell me which skin color is better?
Because when Jenny want it
Jenny got it
If she like
Cause she lighter and she live on the other side
She ain't worried
No, she ain't worried about her life
When Jenny want it
Jenny got it
If she like
Cause she lighter and she live on the other side
She ain't worried
No, she ain't worried about her life
Yeah
Him, too, be getting high, watching time fly
