Vic Mensa - Black Intro lyrics

[Malcolm X:] And once we see that all these other sources to which we've turned have failed, we stop turning to them and turn to ourselves Once you change your philosophy, you change your thought pattern. Once you change your thought pattern, you change your attitude. Once you change your attitude, it changes your behavior pattern [Vic Mensa:] This is a higher level of thought I let the mind work and the song play the long way To show the true meaning of the heart Yeah, take it back to start In 6th grade, when I was stealing And never thinking of getting caught Then I came up, got a little game up Used to leave up out the playground and go flame up Writing graffiti tryin' to get a n***a name up The paint used to bubble on the gla** Like pourin' champagne up Started out fast, no change up I Rememberin when you hear a girl parents on the phone and you hang up Man the first time I got arrested I was 13 Stealin blunts from the store blowin dirt green Paint on my clothes, I couldn't keep a shirt clean Never been a bench player, always on the first team And PHLI put me on that fresh sh** in '06 When I used to call shoes in the store, "kicks." The part of memory [?] miss Cause ain't nobody see it like a youtube video with no hits I spit crack, keep the fiends with a flow fix Ya girl is bomb my n***a, she blow dicks I'm trappin', and I ain't never sold no bricks Grindin' in the same pair of jeans till the hole rips I thought I made when I started buying whole zips And now my n***as are blowing O's like smoke tricks Listening to Wiz, higher then a flight school I keep a 4 point, and I'on even like school I'm hotboxin' with the tint to let the light through I lot of n***as be trippin about the sh** I might do I'm like a wrinkle in time I would rather make a cla**ic Than drop a f**in single and sign Let them other n***as mingle in line, twinkle and shine A star [?] 99 brinkle to grind It's cold wine when I drink and I dine Got problems, but I'm like bougie b**hes I be thinkin I'm fine Now hol' up Who do you go to, when you the one to go to? And ya'll don't the sh** they be sayin' like goku Look, you know the bars get dumber every other summer I'm like izzy n***a, finger, snap, bummer Greg, what up? I'm the rapper he the drummer You the lame and ya girl do the pipe, she the plumber I'm zoned out, flyin in a another dimension Another day, another detention Smokin with eddie and em Gramps bout to puff on his pension And I just f**in suspension So I'm back where I started at Cardiac, flow get a heart attack The snapback cap was dead 'fore I brought it back n***a you could call me mister starter cap You be on that s**a sh** cuffin Her pop said he want his daughter back You the wrong side of the track You like an artifact And I was probably sittin in cla** when I thought of that It's a couple of different ways you make of it And I'm chillin with... [Saul Williams:] Now is the essence of my domain And it contains all that it was and will be And I am as I always and will be Cause I am and always will be that n***a I am that n***a. I am that n***a I am that n***a
