Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Can you tell us about love?
Hmm
Well there is love of children, love of self, love of God, love of a partner
All of them have a different shape, but all of dem is the same in the end
It's about sensitivity, it's about passion
It's about unconditional giving of self to another person
And there's love of humanity
That's the love that is right now needed most
Love of humanity
But in everything, in all of that love, there is a soul
It's like when you take some eggs and break them
And you take the shells and mix them up
Trying to find the one's that match
When you find the perfect match
That comparity results in passion
Results in unconditional giving of self
[Chorus]
Yeah!
I'm good on any MLK Blvd
I'm good on any MLK Blvd
See my vision with a TEC
Bitch, I'm Malcolm X
Haters dreading my effect
They want that Das EFX
[Chorus]
Get yo' hands up high, like a false arrest
Let me see 'em up high, this is not a test, yes
Put 'em up, this is not a test
Now hands where I can see 'em, fuck a false arrest
[Verse 2]
This Off White fit that I rock, shit permanent, hmm
The 'fro that I grow got no perm in it, hmm
A **** late, but he best dressed
Got slowed down by the weight of my necklaces
Park the Lex in projects, bitch, I'm reckless
Extra magazine, hopped on the jet with my Ebony chick
Blacker than the Essence Fest
The behind the back pass is so effortless
Lebron James to you Omarosas
Dapper Dan at 4 am, shit, I am the culture
I made my own wave, so now they anti Tidal
I'm living a no sock life to spite you
Since the Kalief doc they been at my neck
Ya'll could tell 'em Trayvon is coming next
The SEC, the FBI or the IRS
I pass the alphabet boys like a eye test
[Chorus]
Yeah!
I'm good on any MLK Blvd
I'm good
I'm good on any MLK Blvd
We good
See my vision with a TEC
Bitch, I'm Malcolm X
I'm Malcolm X
Haters dreading my effect
They want that Das EFX
[Chorus]
Get yo' hands up high, like a false arrest
Let me see 'em up high, this is not a test, yes
Put 'em up, this is not a test
Put your hands where I can see 'em, fuck a false arrest
[Verse 3]
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
[Verse 4]
I'm good anywhere I go, anywhere I go
I pull up like the Freedom Riders, hop out on Rodeo
Stunt with your curls your lips, Sarah Baartman hips
Gotta hop into my jeans like I hop into my whip, yeah
Mobbing in a hoodie like Melo
Come up out that pretty motherfucker like
"Hello, hello"
I will never let you shoot the nose off my Pharaoh, yeah
Yeah
[Verse 5]
I like purple and Purple Rain
Tryna put red and blue together
Bitch, that's on gang
These people tryna get me out the paint
'Cause I cook collard greens and yams better than ya' aunt
Man, we started with a mustard seed
Now we in the grey 911, with the mustard seats
Sheesh! Matte black Puma jet
Shining my light on the world, just like Umi said
[Verse 6]
Got the Richard Mille, all colors
Might hit you with the rose gold all summer
For the culture, they even biting cornrows
Put your scarecrows up
I come from the finest crop
Tell 'em the gods on road
Watch 'em line the block
The Chitlin' Circuit has stopped!
Now we in stadiums, 80 thou' a WAP, yeah
Watch
[Chorus]
I'm good on any MLK Blvd
I'm good
I'm good on any MLK Blvd
We good
See my vision with a TEC
Bitch, I'm Malcolm X
I'm Malcolm X
Haters dreading my effect
They want that Das EFX
[Chorus]
Get yo hands up high, like a false arrest
Let me see 'em up high, this is not a test, yes
Put 'em up, this is not a test
Your hands where I can see 'em, fuck a false arrest
