[HOOK]
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
All cause I was looking at her caboose
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
All cause I ain't f**ing with them country blues
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
These folk feeding me the strangest fruit
These folk gon have to cut me loose
They never heard of n***as that got the juice
[VERSE ONE]
Well to the new kids, I'm that Mister dude
Inevitable defeat, don't listen to it
Let em speak, we can't win if our spirits through
Let us hold the wind, work towards the miracles
Right to the riverside, just so our dreams don't die
Got one eye stood on the road and cried
Blind man feeling like the world is mine
And it is, this is the life for our kids
Black boys and black girls, boy what a black world
No complex contests bout complexions, progress
No more fighting keep me clean on my conscious
Instead of these profits, rather see some due process
Breathe a little a bit, plead the on the fifth
No time to die we healing the sick
My brethren lack water please drink every bit
Climbing up mountains we ain't losing no grip
[HOOK]
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
All cause I was looking at her caboose
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
All cause I ain't f**ing with them country blues
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
These folk feeding me the strangest fruit
These folk gon have to cut me loose
They never heard of n***as that got the juice
[VERSE TWO]
And ain't nobody, gon turn me round
Make me frown, stop the sound and take me down
It ain't just clothes that were hand me downs
Y'all should know I got the power that can't be found
Inherent, pa**ed through my parents parents
Last forever I focus give young ones their clearance
Know that I have value beyond my appearance
If Jesus was white well then God can fear it
Almighty spirit to be, letting me breathe
Letting me be the best I can be
Babylon fell it won't rise no more
My father's walkin in sin, with eyes to the floor
My sister singing her wins of prizes galore
And here I am seeking the horizon for more
Family strong but y'all treat us poor
NBA balling cause we always score
[HOOK]
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
All cause I was looking at her caboose
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
All cause I ain't f**ing with them country blues
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
These folk feeding me the strangest fruit
These folk gon have to cut me loose
They never heard of n***as that got the juice
[VERSE THREE]
And I'm furious, living life full of style
King James with the scripture, sacred the bible
And these bones dry but we staying vital
Young lamb follow the old sheep for survival
One more river to cross so we wade in the water
Pray to our father, keep at bay our own slaughter
And the rope is getting tight but I'm free to fly
View the land that is mine, man the sunshine
The world in my hands, mold my design
Forget their plans, better see our shine
Got so much value, Even more volume
Black pearls glisten more than green and gold
Tahitian souls, run the value up like heat in cold
Even more, charged up like a I got a leaking core
Bud, not buddy, we ain't for free
Pay what you owe us, ain't no hate from me
[HOOK]
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
All cause I was looking at her caboose
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
All cause I ain't f**ing with them country blues
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
These folk feeding me the strangest fruit
These folk gon have to cut me loose
They never heard of n***as that got the juice
[BRIDGE]
Yam, beans, racks, sh** don't change
But for us blacks fam, we gon make it rain
It's been dry for some time, trapped in a blaze
But we drinking water for the rest of our days
Providence for our daughters, safety for sons
No chain-ganging daily, healthy as plums
Help me sing praises of what has begun
Lessons learned no fables, story as real as the sun
[HOOK]
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
All cause I was looking at her caboose
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
All cause I ain't f**ing with them country blues
These folk gon haveta cut me loose
These folk feeding me the strangest fruit
T hese folk gon have to cut me loose
They never heard of n***as that got the juice
[OUTRO]
Melanin, never sin, only truth that's evident
Melanin, never sin, only truth that's evident
Melanin, never sin, only truth that's evident
Melanin, never sin, only truth that's evident
