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

Hallelujah, Janie got a gun and she needed it
Now she on that street shit (Ay)
Praise be, bitch
Thanks be to god for the chopper and the glock
Let her pull up on the block
Let her shoot up all her opps
She got the blicky, she got the nina
She got a itchy trigger finger
She got a brand new AR
So when she wet 'em up, it rain hard
Julie got a toolie and Lord knows she needed it
Now she on that street shit (Ay)
Praise be, bitch
Rachel got a ratchet and she 'bout to make it pop
'Cause this nigga been harassing her and now it's bout to stop
See she used to be afraid just to take a little walk
'Cause that nigga had a rape case, but he ain't locked
'Cause he got a friend that's a cop so them pigs aint never do shit
But she gotta make it stop so it's violent revolution
Your mans made this a tinder box
So it's back to that revenge plot
Hit 'em back-to-back like a binge watch
Then back to the crib by ten o'clock
The papers are full of rape, so let's start there
And brave women speaking up, but do yall care?
That's a no and that is so not fair
So i'ma make sure Hailey got some hardware
Yeah
Hallelujah, Janie got a gun and she needed it
Now she on that street shit (Ay)
Praise be, bitch
Thanks be to god for the chopper and the glock
Let her pull up on the block
Let her shoot up all her opps
She got the blicky, she got the nina
She got a itchy trigger finger
She got a brand new AR
So when she wet 'em up, it rain hard
Julie got a toolie and Lord knows she needed it
Now she on that street shit (Ay)
Praise be, bitch
I be making these speeches 'cause with queen shit we'll be ok
So I refuse to compete in these Minority Hunger Games
And I ain't tryna hate on Dave
But I did it the GaTa way
Now we bumping them 808's
Big G's like Gatorade
Ay, ay, they doing 88 on a straightaway
We was keeping the hate at bay thinking that was the safer play
When this shit drop I cant wait to see what them haters say
Today's Gospel is: stay away from patriarchal fuckery
The population's full of rapists so let's start there
And brave women standing up but do yall care?
That's a no and that is so not fair
So I'ma make sure Hailey got some hardware
Yeah
Hallelujah, Janie got a gun and she needed it
Now she on that street shit (Ay)
Praise be, bitch
Thanks be to god for the chopper and the glock
Let her pull up on the block
Let her shoot up all her opps
She got the blicky, she got the nina
She got a itchy trigger finger
She got a brand new AR
So when she wet 'em up, it rain hard
Julie got a toolie and Lord knows she needed it
Now she on that street shit (Ay)

You Look Invincible
03:03
|

Yo this right here is for my motherfucking teachers
Dr. Angie Davis, bell hooks, Mikki Kendall
Actually fuck that, this is from my teachers
Mikki Kendall especially
Matter fact, go ahead and put this shit on pause and go cop Hood Feminism right now
Yeah I know nigga, it's a book but
The most dangerous thing in these United States
Is a nigga with a library card so that's a great place to start
Yeah
Let's go
I see you shine
I see the glow
And you look invincible
I see what you rock
I see how you roll
And you look invincible
She put in that work like a boss
(She put in that work like a boss)
She taking no shorts or no losses
(Ain't taking no shorts or no losses)
Girl you fierce (ay she so fierce)
But what do it cost? (what do it cost?)
We give 'em applause (we give 'em applause)
But what about when it stops?
We got you covered (we got you covered)
We got you covered
Oh you got 'em huh?
Then why we not keeping that energy up when the other red bottom drops?
You look invincible for real
Black wo-man of steel
But we call you that it conceals
The trauma that you must feel
But still we call you 'matriarch'
And staying alive means playing the part
But matriarchs they own shit
It ain't just running a home and shit
So that really ain't the ideal word
When you can say the same 'bout a lil girl
Playing house in Aunt Leah's pearls
She got no power in the real world
So you keep calling 'em 'matriarch'
I'm calling y'all on your bullshit
Got a payroll like Bezos
And won't even give up a lil bit
Whole reason they made the myth
They saw slave women doing major shit
Was in the field, was raising kids
They're scared their women'll get ideas
Might've been the right decision
'Cause after that came the white women
Said "fuck the kitchen, get down to business"
But didn't pick up their brown sisters
Now they come with the quickness to fetishize your fierceness
But they just as quick to dismiss you when you need assistance
Get on twitter she hot as ever
Come talk to me when she got cheddar
Equality would be great and all
But equity be a lot better
I see you shine
I see the glow
And you look invincible
I see what you rock
I see how you roll
And you look invincible
She put in that work like a boss
(She put in that work like a boss)
She taking no shorts or no losses
(Ain't taking no shorts or no losses)
Girl you fierce (ay she so fierce)
But what do it cost? (what do it cost?)
We give 'em applause (we give 'em applause)
But what about when it stops?
We got you covered (we got you covered)
We got you covered
Oh you got 'em huh?
Then why we not keeping that energy up
When the other red bottom drops?

Is this what freedom looks like?
Fuck you doing outside if you ain't gonna fight
From Texas to Philly shit really don't look right
Look around, is this what freedom looks like?
I see all the ways they curse you
Patience ain't a virtue when the waiting'll hurt you
The ballot is great but hey the bullet works too
So is this what freedom looks like to you?
What's the dilly yo?
Got me in a pickle like Rick
'Cause they really after women on some "get her" type shit
I'm the type of nigga with a big chip on my shoulder
Went from innocent to militant
Nigga I'm a soldier
I thought I told ya
We ain't going back to alleys with the wire hangers
No sir
It ain't over
And though I ain't got Tunechi fame
I'ma still Stan up nigga - Tucci gang
I got that old slang
I tell 'em heavens to Betsy
I rhyme 9/11 you can never forget me
With everything at stake you can try to test me
But only L I'm taking is your I-F-E (Ooh)
Is this what freedom looks like?
Fuck you doing outside if you ain't gonna fight
From Texas to Philly shit really don't look right
Look around, is this what freedom looks like?
I see all the ways they curse you
Patience ain't a virtue when the waiting'll hurt you
The ballot is great but hey the bullet works too
So is this what freedom looks like to you?
Shit ain't peachy, I ain't seeing no ass emoji
I'm just seeing all my people getting gassed by police
So we coming for them ivory tower niggas in their bubble
Who would rather live in shit than you let you see 'em work a shovel
I would just love to
Bring trouble to that 200-pound sack of assholes y'all call "governor"
Some of us won't recover - I see 'em suffer
That's a blessing in disguise?
Must be deep undercover
It's a bloodstained white flag waving in the air
But do they care?
Maybe they pretend to
Yo it ain't fair the way these men do
'Cause if you ain't at the table then you're probably on the menu
Is this what freedom looks like?
Fuck you doing outside if you ain't gonna fight
From Texas to Philly shit really don't look right
Look around, is this what freedom looks like?
I see all the ways they curse you
Patience ain't a virtue when the waiting'll hurt you
The ballot is great but hey the bullet works too
So is this what freedom looks like to you?

"No girls allowed" like its fourth grade
But that sausage fest a awful mess
So why be in it like Cordae?

Are you there God? It's me, Triz
My nigga you ain't gon' believe this
But these streets is full of extremists
And I don't know what they beef is
They treat kids like criminals
They're sure scared what the youth'll do
When they beat the shit outta us - typical
Ordinary is just what you're used to
They yap yap about "bad apples"
Actually it's the tree that sucks
I seen enough of y'all demeaning us
So with all due respect, get fucked
Bruh, we in a crisis
Got me thinking back to what Mike said
When the going gets tough, the tough get debt
So don't pay attention, just pay the rent
I'm so naive
Keep telling lies that I believe
I guess I'll never learn
I should've let you burn
This is the last time
But I said that last time
I guess I'll never learn
I should've let you burn
Since the beginning
The mission's been to mold ya
'Cause they petrified of these powerful women
It's Xena-phobia
Bruh AOC my Khaleesi
And you can be mad at my reasons
But it's weak men still running shit
So this Tiffany Amber Treason
This revolution season
And I'm fiendin' to unfuck the world
With this proletariat poetry
I don't know how to speak to the rich girls
But shit girl, we in a crisis
Got me thinking back to what Mike said
When the going gets tough, the tough get debt
So don't pay attention, just pay the rent
I'm so naive
Keep telling lies that I believe
I guess I'll never learn
I should've let you burn
This is the last time
But I said that last time
I guess I'll never learn
I should've let you burn
We made the wrong decision
I see CNN, I see the politicians
So now I'm seeing in Wakandavision
With no fucks given 'bout cis-male feelings
Real shit been in my family
'Cause it's nooses in my family tree
And my elders went through hell so
I refuse to be anyone else but me
It was a penalty see
To be on this soapbox that you see me on
I get it popping off - that's a guarantee
Like old folks sleeping with the TV on
I'm seeing all this crisis
Got me thinking back to what Mike said:
When the going gets tough, the tough get debt
So don't pay attention, just pay the rent
I'm so naive
Keep telling lies that I believe
I guess I'll never learn
I should've let you burn
This is the last time
But I said that last time
I guess I'll never learn
I should've let you burn

Packing a pistol like it's a saloon
Here for the shootout like Rocky Raccoon
We get it popping not talking balloons
Babidi got me a shotty or two
They acting shocked but it's not really new
They just don't like that we living our truth
They started the fire so we lit the fuse
Now I'm thinking that maybe this'll go boom
Weak men make the world go 'round
So I'm speaking to the inferno crowd
They never listen so we getting loud
Now we on a mission to burn this shit down
And from the ashes mad shit'll bloom
With nothing around me cash can rule
My track record say aim for the moon
So I'm thinking that maybe this'll go boom
This for the Black women and the Chicanas
We gonna bomb the system that harm ya
Watching this shit got me hardened like Tonya
Chips on my shoulder like Erik Estrada
Cube and them niggas was straight outta Compton
But all of my niggas straight outta Wakanda
And they got more arms than a Indian god
So go on girl
That nigga a goner
All of them gonna be going up yonder
I'll blow ya mind, make you find Nirvana
Shoutout to my nigga Kenny Carranza
Feel like magicians the shit that we conjured
Feel like Rihanna, I'm friends with the monster
Got 2Pac in me like I was Madonna
Get 'em to dance like I'm teaching samba
Rhymes all on TV like Shonda
Been waiting on this longer than Donda
Packing a pistol like it's a saloon
Here for the shootout like Rocky Raccoon
We get it popping not talking balloons
Babidi got me a shotty or two
They acting shocked but it's not really new
They just don't like that we living our truth
They started the fire so we lit the fuse
Now I'm thinking that maybe this'll go boom
Weak men make the world go 'round
So I'm speaking to the inferno crowd

I'm Sorry It's Just Me
02:47
|
|||
Ay yo
I be looking around
And seeing what y'all go through on the fucking daily and like
The shit some of us be doing I mean
It ain't hard to be a man
But sometimes it's fucking shameful
And it feels like nobody even give a fuck
I'm sorry it's just me
And I'm sorry you ain't never to get to see a better me
I'm sorry for the pregnancy
And how that shit was always on you and never me
I'm sorry I use words like "allegedly"
I'm sorry that I always act so insensitively
I'm sorry that it took me so long to say I'm sorry
And I'm sorry that it's just a song, B
I'm sorry for this half-assed apology
And for always tryna tell you who you oughta be
I can walk down the street with no one accosting me
But you gotta be acting modestly
Sorry that we made your body into a commodity
And that I wasn't speaking up more audibly
A whole ass economy with you as the property
Talking dough like Homer, no Odyssey
Always thought that I was fulfilling a prophecy
King of rap - El Rey after Lana D
Yo they on to me but I calmly
Tell 'em to rot in hell with Dr. Cosby
I'm sorry it's just me
And I'm sorry you ain't never to get to see a better me
I'm sorry for the pregnancy
And how that shit was always on you and never me
I'm sorry I use words like "allegedly"
I'm sorry that I always act so insensitively
I'm sorry that it took me so long to say I'm sorry
And I'm sorry that it's just a song, B
I'm sorry I was never enough, just me
Fucked up too much for you to trust me
But a nigga transforming on some Bumblebee
Generating buzz so they wanna shush me
But now I'm done with the shackles nigga this off the cuff, B
I want blood so I'm spilling more than just tea
In fact this revenge shit is fun to me
On the jack straight tripping
Nigga Three's Company
They always saying this the way it must be
So I'm swimming upstream, Salman Rushdie
And y'all can call a fatwa on me
But a nigga standing tall - I'm a Christmas tree
I'm sorry it's just me
And I'm sorry you ain't never to get to see a better me
I'm sorry for the pregnancy
And how that shit was always on you and never me
I'm sorry I use words like "allegedly"
I'm sorry that I always act so insensitively
I'm sorry that it took me so long to say I'm sorry
And I'm sorry that it's just a song, B

Ay I hope y'all hear me on this
All the young kings and queens and non-binary from Brooklyn to Brisbane
The world is yours
Be kind, but be strong ya'meen
We need y'all now more than ever
Y'all could deadass change this whole shit up
This right here is your time
Let's get it
Ay, this a revolution season
But it takes a village and machine guns
Ain't pledging no allegiance
'Cept to my machine gun
Lot of choppers, everybody need one
'Cause it takes a village and machine guns
When they come for your daughter how we greet 'em?
With a whole village and our machine guns
This the city where the skinny niggas die and I'm bony
But it's like 50 niggas down slide for me
I'm like Biggie Stardust, The Notorious Bowie
See these ghosts know me
Ay and this what they told me
To make a track to tell these cracker bastards to blow me
Rhymes fat I rap obese, I'm a acrobat like Adobe
Won't be no peace til we see 'em free the homies
But like Sting was waving his ding-a-ling
We keep getting fucked by the Police
Ay, this a revolution season
But it takes a village and machine guns
Ain't pledging no allegiance
'Cept to my machine gun
Lot of choppers, everybody need one
'Cause it takes a village and machine guns
When they come for your daughter how we greet 'em?
With a whole village and our machine guns
A guilty conscience for this monstrous machine
Telltale heart - it's a TikTok thing
Like Mumia Abu
Feds COINTEL'ing me
Album all in the schools
Kids show-and-telling me
So me, I'm just tryna tell my niggas I believe
Phone full of contacts that be helping me to see
They can tell we intelligent, so they tell us take a seat
Bitch you can't tell me nothing so you telling me to leave?
Nigga no
Please leave us alone
We just searching for meaning
We just dreaming of home
We ain't weeping no more
'Bout how you treating us so
If you ain't in it for the kids, fuck you doing it for?
Ay, this a revolution season
But it takes a village and machine guns
Ain't pledging no allegiance
'Cept to my machine gun
Lot of choppers, everybody need one
'Cause it takes a village and machine guns
When they come for your daughter how we greet 'em?
With a whole village and our machine guns
Got a whole fucking legion
Everybody packing machine guns
And we ain't pledging no allegiance
'Cept to our machine guns
Bro don't give me no reason
To go get my machine gun
They come for child we'll meet 'em
With a whole village and our machine guns
When my daughter turns 13
I'ma get her a machine gun
Wanna play Jackie Gleason?
Body bag how you leaving
Real shit though

Blessed be the shooter, may the Lord open this snake pit
And we'll paint the way to the future with the blood of all these rapists
They is like a tumor and the sooner that we shake it
The sooner you boomers keep us from going fuckin' apeshit
They make a bitch go from Coltrane to Body Count Basie
Freedom be an acquired taste, we got a lot on our plate, B
In the dark like Arya Stark
That's word to Maisie
They face me and take a loss
But the L is raw, it's like Tracee
Dee-dee, sweetie, time to go catch a predator by his toe
She know his info and licked 10 shots getting in the door
Either way he getting clapped but he tryna get out the window
Either way he catch 22 'cause a bitch packing extendos
Blinded by the spite
Going Super Saiyan tonight
With blond hair and a gun
Like shorty playing Skylar White
'Cause you know the saying right?
"If she's old enough to bleed,
She's old enough to carry a razor
And cut your face up into little pieces of meat"
Cracker please
We ain't going back to no slave ship
All that hate we facing
In a way it's the same shit
So I don't care if you was giant
Stay the fuck up out my way bitch
'Cause all of y'all is the same height
When you're lying on the pavement
Blessed be the shooter, may the Lord open this snake pit
And we'll paint the way to the future with the blood of all these rapists
They is like a tumor and the sooner that we shake it
The sooner you boomers keep us from going fuckin' apeshit
They make a bitch go from Coltrane to Body Count Basie
Freedom be an acquired taste, we got a lot on our plate, B
In the dark like Arya Stark
That's word to Maisie
They face me and take a loss
But the L is raw, it's like Tracee
They want us back in Gilead
Fuck outta here - never that
I got a big head with some big dreads
So you know I don't never cap
I'm a lil' bit El Chapo
A lil' bit Barack yo
And i'm here to help a sister get a big pack like Costco
'Cause she went to university
Got her first degree in murdering
And it'd certainly be a shame
To see that shirt stained burgundy
They turned the streets to Vietnam
So we stay strapped 'til they disarm
'Cause we getting the last laugh
We the epilogue in a sitcom
Cracker please
We ain't going back to no slave ship
All this subjugation
In a way it's the same shit
So I don't care if you was giant
Stay the fuck up out my way bitch
'Cause all of y'all is the same height
When you're lying on the pavement
Blessed be the shooter, may the Lord open this snake pit
And we'll paint the way to the future with the blood of all these rapists
They is like a tumor and the sooner that we shake it
The sooner you boomers keep us from going fuckin' apeshit
They make a bitch go from Coltrane to Body Count Basie
Freedom be an acquired taste, we got a lot on our plate, B
In the dark like Arya Stark
That's word to Maisie
They face me and take a loss
But the L is raw, it's like Tracee

Yo we're back on Blonded Los Santos 97.8 FM with Triz Nathaniel
Yeah yeah
Real quick, before I let you go
I just wanna ask you, why are you doing this
And why right now?
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 gayÂ
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
