[01:13.93]So she can be cool to be amongst popularity [01:16.61]The various name brands that reach the price scan [01:19.58]That's not about the right price [01:20.94]But more like the right scam [01:22.26]To rule us all confuse us all [01:24.59]Hit the bank within five minutes and then withdraw [01:27.01] [01:27.68]Now let's draw the picture of a rapper with a chain [01:30.81]In a Range that is not paid for [01:32.92]My cousin from the South said he just bought him a house [01:35.91]That lives around his neck like a white collar [01:38.29]So why fast forward [01:39.59]Then I rewind [01:40.85]A time machine can help me double back to slavery times [01:43.33]Picking cotton from a field that a white man own [01:46.30]The blacker you are [01:47.28]Farther you from the white man's home [01:49.06]Negro spiritual zones gave us some type of sanity [01:51.93]Before your vanity they parted our families [01:53.45] [01:54.61]They put us in hundred-degree shade [01:56.64]And outside we bathed [01:57.83]The more we were afraid [01:59.27]The more they made rules [02:00.56]And trapped our minds in the cage [02:02.16]Our freedom was so fake [02:03.52]Couldn't see it with the eyes [02:05.02]Of Tracee Ross uh [02:05.95]And school was exempt [02:07.35]See we couldn't have smarts [02:08.79]And a smirk could get you hurt [02:10.48]Wound diversed from a scar [02:11.62]Four-hundred years of nothing [02:12.85]Four-hundred years of suffering [02:14.01]Four-hundred years of tears [02:15.44]And tribulation miseducation [02:16.61]See what we facing is now coming [02:18.47]Back to the roots [02:19.52]Remember whips on our back and [02:20.94]If we would run they would shoot [02:22.45]Call us niggers and figured [02:23.41]That we'd never lived in pursuit [02:24.71]Of happiness [02:25.36]We captured these feelings [02:26.29]In things that we do [02:27.42]Thought it's abstinence in slavery [02:28.53]But we made it come to [02:30.01]A modern perspective [02:31.01]My shoe selection gotta be Louie [02:32.86]Her handbag gotta be Gucci [02:34.36]It's fake then she foobie [02:35.57]She still bad though [02:36.70]And her fake Gucci ain't that bad though [02:38.67]We filling up the gas for Rollies [02:40.72]Upgrade to twenty-sixes out there riding Kobes [02:43.20]My cousin from the South [02:44.70]Slavery start in the South and I bet ya [02:46.70]He overcompensates for the life of his ancestors [02:49.26]So blame it on the four-hundred years we never saw [02:52.09]The reason why the next four-hundred we gotta floss [02:55.20]Slaves [02:55.90] [02:57.58]Uh I say the four-hundred years [03:02.06]We never had nothing [03:03.57] [03:04.94]Barely had clothes on our back [03:06.94] [03:09.67]It's the reason why [03:10.36]When we get a little bit of change [03:11.87]We over-exaggerate on our living expenses [03:13.41] [03:16.42]So if you get your first big check [03:17.94]And you cop a chain before you buy a house [03:20.98]You're a vanity slave [03:22.05]
