  • Kendrick made you think about it
    But he is not your savior
    Cole made you feel empowered
    But he is not your savior
    Future said, "Get a money counter"
    But he is not your savior
    'Bron made you give his flowers
    But he is not your savior
    He is not your savior

    Mr. Morale, give me high-five
    Two times center codefendant judging my life
    Back-pedaler, what they say? You do the cha-cha
    I'ma stand on it, 6'5", from 5'5"
    Fun fact, I ain't taking shit back
    Like it when they pro-Black, but I'm more Kodak Black
    Tell me where the money at, ayy, where the homies at?
    Universal callout, I can members only that, ayy
    Si-si, wait a minute, ven aquí (ven aquí), c'est la vie (c'est la vie)
    I tell the whole truth from A to Z, ayy
    Show me you real, show me that you bleed, ayy
    Hello? Crackers? (Let me hear that back)
    I seen niggas arguing about who's blacker
    Even blacked out screens and called it solidarity (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
    Meditating in silence made you wanna tell on me (whoa)

    Bitch, are you happy for me?
    Really, are you happy for me?
    Smile in my face, but are you happy for me?
    Yeah, I'm out the way, are you happy for me?
    Bitch, are you happy for me?
    Really, are you happy for me?
    Smile in my face, but are you happy for me? Yeah
    I'm out the way, are you happy for me? (High up)

    Bite they tongues in rap lyrics
    Scared to be crucified about a song but they won't admit it
    Politically correct is how you keep an opinion
    Niggas is tight lipped, fuck who dare to be different
    Seen a Christian say the vaccine mark of the beast
    Then he caught COVID and prayed the Pfizer for relief
    Then I caught COVID and started to question Kyrie
    Will I stay organic or hurt in this bed for two weeks? (You really wanna know?)
    Do you want peace? (How I get so low?)
    Then watch us in the streets (only one way to go)
    One protest for you (high up)
    Three-sixty-five for me (you really wanna know?)
    Vladimir making nightmares (how I get so low?)
    But that's how we all think (only one way to go)
    The collective consciousness (high up)
    Calamities on repeat, huh

    Bitch, are you happy for me?
    Really, are you happy for me?
    Smile in my face, but are you happy for me?
    Yeah, I'm out the way, are you happy for me?
    Bitch, are you happy for me?
    Really, are you happy for me?
    Smile in my face, but are you happy for me?
    Yeah, I'm out the way, are you happy for me?

    Truth, it resides in the fire
    The need of it's dire
    Deceiving the lies, I know
    Truth, it resides in the fire
    The need of it's dire
    Deceiving the lies, I know

    The cat is out the bag, I am not your savior
    I find it just as difficult to love thy neighbors
    Especially when people got ambiguous favors
    But they hearts not in it, see, everything's for the paper
    The struggle for the right side of history
    Independent thought is like an eternal enemy
    Capitalists posing as compassionates be offending me
    Yeah, suck my dick with authenticity
    Yeah, Tupac dead, gotta think for yourself
    Yeah, heroes looking for the villains to help
    I never been sophisticated, saving face
    Being manipulative, such an acquired taste
    I rubbed elbows with people that was for the people
    They all greedy, I don't care for no public speaking
    And they like to wonder where I've been
