Black Artists Invented the Good Music Genres

They told me to stop making black people music
But every good genre invented by black people
Now we the ones that use it

Black artists invented the best music
I'd take Chuck Berry
Over Elvis
Good kid mad city
Should've won Grammys
Every genre on my playlist
From a black artist

I was on wikipedia, surfing
And I was like dang y'all invented everything
Blues reggae jazz Rock soul RnB hip hop
Everybody that use autotune in a cool way
I'm saying lick me like a lollipop in my hallway
Be my bar tender I'm T-pain
Like Future so I try and mix like Alex Tumay
I swear I hit every song even though I don't know what he say
Metro Boomin please let me spit on a beat one day
Do you trust me, do you want some more
I'd just shout your name on repeat instead of an encore

Used to play Beethoven before my head hit the bed
Switched to Miles Davis, dream about trumpet
I take Aretha over Dylan
D'angelo over the Billy Joel
Lil uzi vert over the Beatles
I just wana rock

Black artists invented the best music
I'd take Chuck Berry
Over Elvis
Good kid mad city
Should've won Grammys
Every genre on my playlist
From a black artist

First rap song I loved was hard in the paint
By Waka Flocka Flame
Bought Rari boys with him and
Gucci Mane on
Itunes dropped a bag on those dudes
Laughing at how he shouting his name flash forward now I do the same
Tessa in high school said I was tryna be black which was not ok
For what it's worth cause I was listening to "I hit it first" by Ray J

Made a painting of my favorite artists
And I was like everybody black
Looked at my skin, dang, would you look at that
I'm east asian, on your side, not chad
This can be like rush hour 4, we can run it back
My track will blow up they'll call it "good rap"
I bee try to blend in
But those yellow black stripes is right where your eyes go at

Black artists invented the best music
I'd take Chuck Berry
Over Elvis
Good kid mad city
Should've won Grammys
Every genre on my playlist
From a black artist

You only listen now
To who look like what they rapping about
Well they ain't do none of that, you find it out
I'm indie and I'm making laptop rap
No label pushing me to get this cash
Label out loud pushing any black man that
Say he caught a body
'Tis how he raise eyebrows
But you think I'm a problem cause
I probably mimic how
That one word sound
Or high hat bounce around
I'm a say anything I want
I'll culturally appropriate your mom
I will misquote a psalm
I push the rap boundary, but you harm
Not what you like, you pull the alarm
You ain't got ice veins or a hot take, you lukewarm
Mediocre, mid, pushover, kid, conformist
Hating on a platform with no form
