It Takes a Village (& Machine Guns)

Ay I hope y'all hear me on this
All the young kings and queens and non-binary from Brooklyn to Brisbane
The world is yours
Be kind, but be strong ya'meen
We need y'all now more than ever
Y'all could deadass change this whole shit up
This right here is your time
Let's get it

Ay, this a revolution season
But it takes a village and machine guns
Ain't pledging no allegiance
'Cept to my machine gun
Lot of choppers, everybody need one
'Cause it takes a village and machine guns
When they come for your daughter how we greet 'em?
With a whole village and our machine guns

This the city where the skinny niggas die and I'm bony
But it's like 50 niggas down slide for me
I'm like Biggie Stardust, The Notorious Bowie
See these ghosts know me
Ay and this what they told me

To make a track to tell these cracker bastards to blow me
Rhymes fat I rap obese, I'm a acrobat like Adobe
Won't be no peace til we see 'em free the homies
But like Sting was waving his ding-a-ling
We keep getting fucked by the Police

Ay, this a revolution season
But it takes a village and machine guns
Ain't pledging no allegiance
'Cept to my machine gun
Lot of choppers, everybody need one
'Cause it takes a village and machine guns
When they come for your daughter how we greet 'em?
With a whole village and our machine guns

A guilty conscience for this monstrous machine
Telltale heart - it's a TikTok thing
Like Mumia Abu
Feds COINTEL'ing me
Album all in the schools
Kids show-and-telling me

So me, I'm just tryna tell my niggas I believe
Phone full of contacts that be helping me to see
They can tell we intelligent, so they tell us take a seat
Bitch you can't tell me nothing so you telling me to leave?
Nigga no

Please leave us alone
We just searching for meaning
We just dreaming of home
We ain't weeping no more
'Bout how you treating us so
If you ain't in it for the kids, fuck you doing it for?

Ay, this a revolution season
But it takes a village and machine guns
Ain't pledging no allegiance
'Cept to my machine gun
Lot of choppers, everybody need one
'Cause it takes a village and machine guns
When they come for your daughter how we greet 'em?
With a whole village and our machine guns

Got a whole fucking legion
Everybody packing machine guns
And we ain't pledging no allegiance
'Cept to our machine guns
Bro don't give me no reason
To go get my machine gun
They come for child we'll meet 'em
With a whole village and our machine guns

When my daughter turns 13
I'ma get her a machine gun
Wanna play Jackie Gleason?
Body bag how you leaving
Real shit though
