I Got Something to Say
They thought all we would do is pick up the rock and slang it
Or we would hop of off them blocks and hitting corner bangin'
Or become rap stars with long money, fast cars, diamond chains, bad broads, but we different though
I know I play into the stereotype, but I'm the only nigga blastin' out ya stereos right
Cuz my voice speaks the truth, give you new niggas perspective
Teach you how to rap, give you new niggas a lesson
I'm the courier giving you niggas the message
You niggas pathetic, you niggas get deaded
Niggas green with envy get washed quicker than lettuce
Here to change the game, I'm upgrading the meta
Who are you to say we can't be doctors or dentists
When my homies about to be a biological chemist
He could conjure up a cure or come up with some new medicine
Moving on up like my last name was Jefferson
You niggas music sounding the same, sounding repetitive
Mind numbing like I popped a whole lot of sedatives
Tryna spit some anecdotes and antidote some damaged folks that mentally enslaved
Physically enraged cuz of oppression and depression, I'm tryna bring brighter days
Never was the one to listen to what Simon say
Got lost on my journey but now I'm finding my way
To get the whole world to hear what I got to say
You can't stop this Black movement, this Black power
When times stops, you gone witness the blackest hour
They take our culture, then act like it wasn't ours
If you a coon or complacent then you a fucking coward
Oh I forgot you were signed so you fight for yo masters
House nigga ass rappers, yo world is so fucking backwards
Letting a white man dictate the sound of our culture
By perpetuating stereotypes just for the vultures
To blame rappers for all the violence and drug abuse
You got a voice young brother but you ain't putting it to fucking use
How Becky get the job when Keisha is more qualified
Peep the signs, make a change, then get immortalized
Or we would hop of off them blocks and hitting corner bangin'
Or become rap stars with long money, fast cars, diamond chains, bad broads, but we different though
I know I play into the stereotype, but I'm the only nigga blastin' out ya stereos right
Cuz my voice speaks the truth, give you new niggas perspective
Teach you how to rap, give you new niggas a lesson
I'm the courier giving you niggas the message
You niggas pathetic, you niggas get deaded
Niggas green with envy get washed quicker than lettuce
Here to change the game, I'm upgrading the meta
Who are you to say we can't be doctors or dentists
When my homies about to be a biological chemist
He could conjure up a cure or come up with some new medicine
Moving on up like my last name was Jefferson
You niggas music sounding the same, sounding repetitive
Mind numbing like I popped a whole lot of sedatives
Tryna spit some anecdotes and antidote some damaged folks that mentally enslaved
Physically enraged cuz of oppression and depression, I'm tryna bring brighter days
