lirik lagu black america – kolo

i’m in february right now
that means it’s blackout season
yeah

i might swipe on the black card, cop me a black benz
pack it with lupitas just for me and my black friends
we pull em cause they hear that we be spitting like mac*10s
to be this good with words should be illegal like absinthe
i always break the laws, except the ones of power
i’ve befriended many foes to help defeat some of you cowards
i never shine too hard especially around a boss
cause kings are insecure when they find out you ain’t a p*wn
its tough to hide my light, my glow is just too enormous
you sold your soul for money n**** we are not concordant
i need honor and loyalty in high portions
n***** on my team that got my six like michael jordan
what’s important, is speaking for the unspoken
so i dropped politics as usual, n***** wasn’t open to it
so i’m back to spitting that no one can do it better
that he can cause a sound wave to bring down armageddon
the vendetta is deeper than rap, to keep a stack
y’all too busy keeping the gat, you need to relax
y’all deals, is deep in the past, let’s keep with the facts
360 contracts, is robbing your stash
man of course we still slaves
but they want that he could leave the studio in flames
so i gas on em
i’m the n**** leading the new wave, i put cash on it
they can never got enough of me like a crack junkie, yeah
i can never be a robot they control n****
the rules don’t help us to be reaping what we sow n****
what we started, we the fathers
they pay no homage, take what’s ours yeah

i can never be a robot they control n****
no matter what don’t let these label take your soul n****
i’m on go, i won’t fold
i’m no slave, let them know n**** yeah

i might swipe on the black card, cop me some black timbs
black out the range rover, the windows with black tint
i don’t want y’all to see me, i don’t want to hear from no n****
who throwing shade but in secret just wants to be me
i brainstorm the impossible, the lyrical immaculate conception
anything that comes to mind, i manifest it
i stack a check when i speak my mind like joe rogan
and for that, they gon’ hate on a n****, hulk hogan
but they cannot control me, i write my own chapters
no you not massa, yes i own my masters
yes i read the contract, you ain’t putting nothing passed us
i got a few degrees and i ain’t never missed no classes
who’s iller than me
that gap was answer, the versatility mastered
my independence established, i did it all without the backing
i lost a couple stacks but i’ll make it back on the back end
don’t do this for your reaction the passion is all i know
telling the stories that the tv news never shows
i learned that there’s power in playing games, don’t ever show all your cards
always maintain your bluff, they never know who you are
that’s when you drop that sh*t
that why the h*ll it took so long to help the kids in flint
that why ain’t twelve wearing body cams in every zip
i can spit that real now that i have your attention, yeah
i can never be a robot they control n****
the rules don’t help us to be reaping what we sow n****
what we started, we the fathers
they pay no homage, take what’s ours yeah

i can never be a robot they control n****
no matter what don’t let these label take your soul n****
i’m on go, i won’t fold
i’m no slave, let them know n**** yeah

my first album came out in ’96, and i had to put the album out myself
n0body would sign me. they thought i was terrible
every single record, i went to every single record label they were like this guy is terrible, he’s nothing
that just goes to show you how far the a&r was off
these guys, they used to go to bentleys and had electric blue shirts on
and ahh you know about hip hop, what you know about, what are you talking ‘bout?
it wasn’t representative, representative of hip hop
you were persistent and focused too
yeah, and that goes for not listening to other people again
cause i could have easily been like wow maybe i’m writing, maybe what i’m talking about ain’t right
you know what i’m saying, they said everyone, no one wants to sign me
maybe, maybe what i’m saying ain’t right, i could have easily took that, that was easy
that would, that would have stopped the suffering, but i didn’t, you know
and i knew that them people ain’t know what they was talking ‘bout

rap is poetry. it is, it isn’t just you know, it’s thought*provoking there’s thought behind it
there’s great writing in rap as well
let’s start the grammy awards
make sure the camera’s on point
make sure hov at the front
make sure bey at the front
aoty gets awarded
black man snubbed for the podium
16 years and going
still our culture’s stolen
make sure hov at the front
make sure bey at the front
merica sees what it wants
blind to the strife of voiceless
still gon’ rock our chains
still gon’ use black slang
use our genre for profit
then throw dirt on its name
make sure hov at the front
make sure bey at the front
use our legends for ratings
all your ways archaic
still gone steal our drums
mockingbird like how you mimic our hums
recolor our fruit, pass off as your plums
make sure hov at the front
make sure bey at the front
merica sees what it wants
merica sees what it wants
merica sees what it wants

you know you never hear rappers being compared for like the greatest writers of all time
you know you hear bob dylan, so is biggie smalls, rakim, i mean listen to some of the things he wrote
i mean, you take those lyrics and you pull ‘em away from the music and you put ‘em up on the wall somewhere and someone had to look at ‘em, they would say this is g*nius
