Not For Radio (feat. Puff Daddy)

Escobar season begins
Ayo, we ain't posin' for no pictures in 2018
Candid shit only
Scared motherfuckers

Black Kemet gods (yeah), black Egyptian gods (let's go)
Summoned from Heaven, blessed, dressed in only Goyard
Homie go hard like Stone and Robert in a stolen car
Shoot the ballot box, no voter card, they all are frauds
Senegal's finest, minerals, diamonds
The Earth is cursed but I survive many climates
Calm and thoroughly, they try to Hyman Roth me
John Fitzgerald me, the industry never bought me

Fear will make you reveal who you really are
Feel me, God? Be solid, your foes hold you in ill regard
This ain't knowledge, this is not intense
For honored men, women too
Us who can see the same thing, but have a different view (let's go)
All of a sudden, frontin' niggas knew you from your past (whoo)
Got all kinds of guys sayin' we go way back
And who y'all comparin' me to is nonsense
Show gratitude in the presence of dominance

I think they scared of us, yeah, yeah
I think they scared of us
I think they scared of us, yeah, yeah
I think they scared (to Catholics)

To Catholics, Moors and Masons
John Hanson was not the first black pres' to make it (lies)
Abe Lincoln did not free the enslaved (lies)
Progress was made 'cause we forced the proclamation
(Fuck your proclamation!)

SWAT was created to stop the Panthers
Glocks were created for murder enhancement
For hunting men, circumstances
Edgar Hoover was Black
Willie Lynch is a myth, Colombians created crack
The government made stacks (welcome to America, niggas!)

Reagan had Alzheimer's, that's true
Fox News was started by a Black dude, also true
Convinced my experiences were meant to be
Helps me navigate as they validate they treachery
Felt established, fake as he smile, handshake questionable (whoo)
"Am I good?" he ask, thinkin', "But is he testin' you?"
(Is he testin' you?) In my hood, fear does a few things
Make you pussy, make you a snitch
Make irrational moves or even turn you to food

(I think they're scared of us, yeah), ayo
As we proceed to give you what you need
(I think they're scared of us) put your motherfucking fist in the air
I don't care if you white (I think they're scared of us, yeah, yeah)
You're Black, Latino, Asian, Caucasian (I think they scared)
Malaysian, what ever you are (I think they scared of us, yeah)

As long as you with this motherfucking elevation
(I think they scared of us)
'Cause see, as we proceed to give you what you need
(I think they scared of us, yeah), you scared
You scared (you scared), you scared man
(I think they scared), you scared, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ayo, that's why they be killing us and shooting us
That's why they feel uncomfortable around us
'Cause of our greatness
You're lucky God made us compassionate and forgiving
Man, they scared of us, Nas
We see that bitch in your eyes (bitch in your eyes-)
