Cocoa
My complexion is cocoa
My climate is temperate
My life is heaven sent
As I get older
Fill my soul's crevices
Added embellishments
Now I'm a soldier
Not worried 'bout O's
Not worried 'bout shows
Just worried 'bout closure
What will they say when it's over
This time I feel like I got something to lose but
Something don't feel right 'bout running after views
Been imbued with this gift to lift your chin when you're blue
But truth be told 9 times out of 10 I cannot get through to you
Pen being tested more than my patience now
Way to invested to let my best friends down
This feeling's encroaching
On devotion
Helping me focus
Without it I'm hopeless
I'm hoping you notice I'm all in
Call it fate but I'll look up and say he great he is
Call me fake but I don't switch cause I don't skate ya dig
If I pick this scene up watch it go to space
Shake it up and drop it won't warn them to brace
It's not easy but it's worth it 'cause I'll be free
To switch the scenery move to where I know they wanna hear me
Need to need me if you want me to stick 'round
'Cause I'll dip out without a sound
Like I broke into your house
And I got your maid to help me clean it out 'cause
My melanin sweeter than madeleines
Melanin sweeter than madeleines
You know it's true you know it's true without a doubt
The shade you're throwing here's not needed we'll survive without
'Cause our melanin sweeter than madeleines
Melanin sweeter than madeleines
You know it's true you know it's true without a doubt
The shade you're throwing here's not needed we'll survive without it
Came from the sky I'm getting high I'm going back
Cocoa my skin melanin rich you know that I'm black
You know I'm the shit you know you're a fan
You know I'm the king I stick to the plan
Since I was a kid I knew I was the man
Still feel like the kid like I'm peter pan
Get Vic Bands to kill the hook
Boy leave you shook yea he the captain now
School was ugly couldn't look
I dropped the books I left the cap and gown
Under pressure now should be stressing wow
No more lectures now such a blessing how
Could I ever drown swimming in my dreams
'Bout to kill this shit feel like dexter now
I had a dream I was dope woke up feeling dope
It's illegal to carry me
That was the best shit felt like inception
Except this shit is reality
I chase the dream found a place with my team
Now we beaming man nobody challenge me
I Underscore flow mad like a storm
Like the human torch is my family
There's fire in my jeans like I told a lie
Funniest things that I don't lie down like rest and the Thing
Always go time
I feel like there is just no time I can waste if I'm ever gon' shine
Smoke get high write more lines
Get better with time spit pro rhymes
All of you wack rappers gon' die
And damn it I'm black follow tradition
I slaughter G.O.A.Ts blame it on
My melanin sweeter than madeleines
Melanin sweeter than madeleines
You know it's true you know it's true without a doubt
The shade you're throwing here's not needed we'll survive without
'Cause our melanin sweeter than madeleines
Melanin sweeter than madeleines
You know it's true you know it's true without a doubt
The shade you're throwing here's not needed we'll survive without it
My climate is temperate
My life is heaven sent
As I get older
Fill my soul's crevices
Added embellishments
