[Intro] My family tree got crowns on the branches It's been a long while since y'all worked on the ranches No Soul Train, but the Africans dancing Get well Nelson, Mandela gotta raise our standards [Verse 1] n***a what they call me n***a what they call you too Red lights and blue lights, whoop whoop Get up out the car, you too Why they want us all in cages? Cause if you speak up then you raging It's like we slaves either way A n***a bail about 30k What I kick so cold I could stomp out a forest fire With my bare feet, flame delete The same forest where the bears eat but don't sleep Incite the feast, rest in peace I pick the beat, ignite the light, then pick my teeth
Then ship the heat, all for free But trash that, I'm trying to get paid today I'm gonna need about 30k And a chain worth about 30k And a six-four with the gold paint [Hook]x4 I'm goin' for 30 [Verse 2] Don't play simple Simon, it's no riddle Music say a black man flipping pies is the only way to make it out of his little Neighborhood surrounded by liquor stores and police Weed and codeine Hold it, hold the scripture reading, praying for blessing That lessen the pain I hear the cries through my city reverbing again Living in capital sin Where the Grim Reaper sickle has a Barry Bonds swing Praise the home of the Yin, no Yang for the balance Silence [Hook]
