grassroots

Still treating the black folk
Like we living in El paso
In your pastures
And you the masters
It's hard to tolerate bro
Y'all Lactose

So we set a good example
On the sample
We dodged the lasso
Out in the Wild west
Through the bible belt
Up to the Parliament
Survive like Rambo

Y'all like ammo
We like camo
Lace up black boots
Bro we had to
We in the classroom
And we pass notes
Under the table
We got grassroots

We never get away
We never get vacation days
So we will not mitigate
We want the finer things
We need that money like the meter maid

In pursuit of happiness
We are due happiness
Came around just to check
Did for you to cut the check
Need to cut the check

I gotta be intentional
Gotta get that money every decimal
I gotta be exceptional
Can't separate me from my dreams like a sectional
Gotta keep it clean and be professional
Gotta smoke my vegetables

Gotta be ready be accessible
I gotta tell the truth and be ethical
Gotta take doses of that shit like it's medical
Never liked that 9-5 that don't keep me flexible

A lot is on my mind, but you can't read it
It ain't legible
Maybe I should say it out loud like a confessional
Careful who you share your joy with
Be more skeptical
Some of them gonna break your heart
Yeah they far from credible

I just wanna dance on the beach with a pretty face
I just wanna connect, need that interface
And she got that juice like it's minute maid
Even though I been afraid
Not insecure but a feeling like it's Isa Rae

In pursuit of happiness
We are due happiness
Came around just to check
Did for you to cut the check
Need to cut the check
