Talk White

Talk white, but do I rap like a nigga?
Want Off-White, will that cost me 4 figures?
All my life, just want my pockets get bigger
Not alright, so many things to consider

This that overeducated, underestimated flow
This suburban rap from culdesacs but still try keep it thorough
This that skin so black, they purse they clasp at night incognito
How I'm sposed to act, not tryna be rash but cops keep pullin me over
I'm not irrational
In fact I got mad diplomas
Never stood out on corners
Still label me thug misnomer
Claim that I keep it real, steel
Squeeze and release at will, yeah
But Exodus speak to Moses from tree and God told him thou shall not kill!
Still, won't let my people go!
Not monolith but your prejudice is
All not the same, but we all African
Now we gon claim that my race don't exist
No chameleon been tryna blend in
Hiding my color like hue is a sin
Tryna discover who's shoes I fit in
My voice bring em comfort my skin is violent

Talk white, but do I rap like a nigga?
Want Off-White, will that cost me 4 figures?
All my life, just want my pockets get bigger
Not alright, so many things to consider

Who am I? People prolly can't figure
Not gon lie, times it's hard to remember
I rely, verses found from ancestors
Been baptized, my flow found wading in the river
Cotton picker, that's the soul
Still considered, less than whole
My intent just, tryna grow
Since descendants, tilled the soil
Representing, Mandingo
Strong body, but a weak will
All folly, we ain't equal
Acknowledge, when I speak still
Surprising, eloquence spills
Outta my mouth, been well versed in it
All of y'all doubt, ima disperse critics
Not for no clout, tryna discuss civics
Ignorance don't die, choice must kill it
Loading the clip, peer out the window like name Malcom X
