Momma

I was talking to my mother the other day
And I told her like ma, I wanna tell the world my story
And tell the truth
And they scared of me because they not used to that
And I know everything that comes with it
People gonna have this and that to say
But none of them really know me so it is what it is
I'm still Kinte
And this is what she said

You ain't gotta tell no lies you can tell the whole truth
You don't need no disguise I promise they gone love you
And if you get to lyin' then I know it ain't for you
Let me see that crooked smile yeah that's the real you
And niggas gone hate you just gotta see it through
Make sure your people straight and we can never lose
They gone hear your sound and say no way that it's you
We gotta hear his voice fuck he finally made the move
I ain't the type to keep the tool
But got some brothers never lose
And my voice is a way so they gone make sure I'm straight
We gone do it in the H just to keep it in the safe
And I dropped out of school
To show the people that I'm true
Went in skipped in the booth cause I'm tired of skipping school
I'm protected by my city we gone make the world move
And when they scream my name
Yeah, I just hope I stay sane
Yeah, and whatever numbers do I'm just tryna times two
Momma said you'll be fine this a different type of move
And you gotta see it through
And fuck whoever ain't with you
Yeah, must've forgot it was you then you doubled times two
Momma said it's gone be pressure you just gotta stick and move

And we don't have to cry anymore
The devil on my shoulders I can't hear him anymore
The voices talking to me saying I swear that it's more
So I'm dustin off my shoulders like I'm the new Nelly boy
Yeah
And I swear that it's more
And we gone do it like it ain't never done before
