Oh whoa, hey there Hey give me a smile I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave You know you wanna get with a real man Alright see you later sexy I hope you come back this way They tell you to smile? Say fuck em and frown That nigga a bozo, homie a clown Catcall his favorite sound 'Til a pussy nigga get put in the ground Learn to swim or they'll watch you drown Lack of empathy so profound They give you a pedestal, never a crown They give you a pedestal, never a crown I'm proud of you, you world renowned But your value to them, measured in pounds They'll look inside for a ultrasound But past that, it's "how she look in a gown?" She in the field, she on the ground While these fat cats just lie around Don't let 'em try to hide your crown And don't let the bastards grind you down They show that they hate you And they say so on the daily When the radio keep playing mo' Tory and DaBaby Couple ignorant ass wannabe gangsta niggas Talking crazy That's a geechi Genovese And fugazi Lucchese I'ma do somethin' with this verse For the women done being prisoners It's bad now but it gets worse Walk in her shoes, get blisters Been hurt'n our sisters We big on that bigotry And that's sisters spelled with a S Not just the ones spelled with a C Generally they playbook Is a booklet from the pulpit Get on twitter and push that Not all men bullshit Damn dog, you mad wrong But u keep singing that sad song So we put a price on ya head Like a New Era with the tags on They tell you to smile? Say fuck em and frown That nigga a bozo, homie a clown Catcall his favorite sound 'Til a pussy nigga get put in the ground Learn to swim or they'll watch you drown Lack of empathy so profound They give you a pedestal, never a crown They give you a pedestal, never a crown I'm proud of you, you world renowned But your value to them, measured in pounds They'll look inside for a ultra sound But past that, it's "how you she look in a gown?" She in the field, she on the ground While these fat cats just lie around Don't let 'em try to hide your crown And don't let the bastards grind you down Please

Us old-heads always be like "We need a new Malcolm, we need a new Martin" And of course no disrespect to the OG's but like There's this quote from a poem that June Jordan wrote It's this joint called A Poem for South African Women And it ends with "we're the ones we've been waiting for" And like that's it right there We here nigga We here We was waiting on a miracle Like a hero in a cape or Some way forward But really though We're the ones we've been waiting for They chose to take whats yours And Bezos keep taking more So we tell these men The hell with them We're the ones we've been waiting for We was going nowhere like revving the curb Rules was no fair and guess who it served Set us with terms that was better than hers But we ain't feeling that like severing nerves Put the whole shit together, we connected the turds On street shit, never what you get in the burbs Still repping the nerds when I'm wrecking a verse So for better or worse I speak veteran words A new chapter, we turned the page 'Cause we're the ones make the world change Get it more black, get it more gay  Make George Takei be like "oh hey!" Y'all boo at us, bitch we don't care 'Cause we seen what make y'all niggas cheer So we score one for the losers Now they faking like they was saying boo-urns And we getting drunk off that D'usse We ain't gave a fuck since Tuesday We litty in the Jacuzzi 'Cause we far away from they cruelty See I speak raw nigga, it's deep ball nigga Going over ya head - it's a leap frog nigga Write a deep song, still get a "yee-haw, nigga!" So tell Griselda put me on nigga We was waiting on a miracle Like a hero in a cape or Some way forward But really though We're the ones we've been waiting for They chose to take whats yours And Bezos keep taking more So tell these men The hell with them We're the ones we've been waiting for
