And I
And I
And I touch my people
And I
And I
And I touch
And I touch my people
They gon' feel it
They gon' feel it
And I
They seem so appalled
They just wanna see me with a mask on, with a mask on
They seem so appalled
They just wanna see me with a mask on, with a mask on
I ain't hidin' much
Turn around see me stuntin'
Y'all gonna see me coming
Point, and I see me coming
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hol' hol' hol'
Mask off, fuck a task force
Bitch I blast off in that fast Ford
They rather see us in the RAV4
But I pray to God, each and everyday
Like what more could we ask for?
Lookin back we was mad poor
Now fast forward and we in the Forbes
They try to rain on our parade
But anytime it just get absorbed
We weather the storm, singing (right)
Made us calmer (yeah)
Life is a cycle (disciples)
Pull at our karma (its karma)
Whatever don't kill me (really)
Only made stronger (facts)
Only God can judge me
So your honor I ain't got time for the drama
That's on my mamma's mamma's mamma
They try to cover it up
Hoping I spend, divide it, and suck
Now the spending is gone
They shit out of luck
Its a new chapter, still niggas is stuck
I might just to go back to Africa
To get get more bang for the buck (okay)
Plus, you can't spell America without us (facts)
In money they trust (right)
And no love, just lust (right)
I ain't never giving a fuck
I know by the Lord I'm touched, so I do what I must
Ain't must discussed
They want us to hush
That's why they got us masked up
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Gotta keep it stuntin' on this woman, heard?
I just keep it hundred, fuck your finite's, word?
They know when we coming we gonna give em' verse
Put your mask on like its fashion, you got the flash on
you got a mask on
See flow, I don't wear a mask no more
I ain't trust you ho's
Blame it on the nose
I can smell it funny, no rose
Pyramid see my flows
Then you gotta know
Fee-fi-fo-fee-fum
I don't got African drums
Shout out my sons
Ain't see nip, see some
I ain't even have much on nigga
