COCOA BUTTER
Can't wear a hood in my hood
The White man think I'm up to no good
My head is just cold
It's misunderstood
I wanna lay him out maybe I should
Maybe I could maybe I would
But gotta stay calm cus my skin like soot
Gotta stay strong
Listen to my mom
Cuz everything I do is wrong
(She say)
Act white don't bear fight
Keep your head down and your grades high
You'll be alright; be polite
All the time every time
Don't speak; keep it in your mind
You might have to lie
Bout how you feel
Prejudice is so real
Well shit
How do I deal
Land of the free is how I should be
But living this life is like paying a fee
Just how crazy time flys
Obama would've been the change but oh my
Must've been crazy to believe that lie
But we believed it with all our might
All of that time
That we've been wasting
2018 and Trump's the replacement
And we just stare at our screens in amazement
And we keep typing away and complaining
Ain't nothing changing
Problems we facing
Ain't no rephrasing
All of these dreams
We can't just keep chasing
I wanna be free
But life's how we make it
We gotta take it
I cannot fake it
We are oppressed
Pressed in this nation
But power is ours, ours for the taking
No more hashtags
No more waiting
My people are aching
Was a kid with a hat
In his hands were a snack
But they thought it was a gat
So they hit em with a bat
And his head went snap
And Just like that
He was flat like a mat
And His body collapsed
The kids with their phones out
On Snapchat
Didn't do shit man
Hands in their lap
Trying to distract
Themselves from the fact
That the kid wasn't strapped
He ain't deserve that
Like
My flow heavy like a period
Fuck you niggas period
Man you think I'm joking boy actually really serious
Got bars on top of bars that'll make you go delirious
rap so fucking fast it's like I'm motherfucking furious
You niggas monkeying around like you motherfucking curious
can never put me down because my guy I'm imperious
My skin real black
Might as well call Sirius
The bars that y'all spit are just trash and real hideous
Just like white girls at a mall dead ass I'm coming for you all
Making it rain like it's fall
Cutting of fakes with a saw
Lay it down like it's the law
Y'all think I'm playing I'm bout to go super Saiyan
(Yuh)
I'm going in, feel what I'm saying
This ain't a game, boy I ain't playing
I'm warning yall just saying
Yeah look at the crowd
Yeah look at me now
They loving my skin
They loving my brown
I'm at the top right now
you will never put me down
Man they loving sound
I'm the nigga with the crown
Fuck you niggas in 8th grade
Who made fun of my shade my grades my name
All of yall will fade I'm collecting accolades
Ooh getting paid sipping lemonade
Feeling great
Watching yall degrade and getting underpaid
I be chilling
Yall be hating
I be winning
Yall be faking
In the crib man I'm creating music that'll last for ages
Getting better man; elating
Making fettuccine; grating
Making bank man yall just tasting
Living this life wow it's amazing
Yall making fun of music
"P.Y. always been a nuisance"
I'm making green bro you clueless
(I like that line we should use it)
I'm at the top watch me prove it
Step up to me, bro you foolish
The White man think I'm up to no good
My head is just cold
It's misunderstood
I wanna lay him out maybe I should
Maybe I could maybe I would
But gotta stay calm cus my skin like soot
Gotta stay strong
Listen to my mom
Cuz everything I do is wrong
