Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My mama was raised in the era when
Clean water was only served to the fairer skin
Doin' clothes, you woulda thought I had help
But they wasn't satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself
[Verse 2]
You see it's broke **** racism, that's that, don't touch anything in the store
And it's rich **** racism, that's that come in, please buy more
What you want, a Bentley, fur coat, a diamond chain?
All you blacks want all the same thing
Used to only be ****, now e'erybody playin'
Spendin' e'erything on Alexander Wang, new slaves
[Verse 3]
You see it's leaders and it's followers
But I'd rather be a dick than a swallower
You see it's leaders and it's followers
But I'd rather be a dick than a swallower
[Verse 4]
I throw these Maybach keys, I wear my heart on the sleeve
I know that we the new slaves, I see the blood on the leaves
I see the blood on the leaves, I see the blood on the leaves
I know that we the new slaves, I see the blood on the leaves
They throwin' hate at me, want me to stay at ease
Fuck you and your corporation, y'all **** can't control me
I know that we the new slaves, I know that we the new slaves
I'm 'bout to wild the fuck out, I'm going Bobby Boucher
[Verse 5]
I know that pussy ain't free, you **** pussy ain't me
Y'all throwin' contracts at me, you know that **** can't read
Throw 'em some Maybach keys, fuck it, c'est la vie
I know that we the new slave, y'all **** can't fuck with me
Y'all **** can't fuck with 'Ye, y'all **** can't fuck with 'Ye
I move my family out the country so you can't see where I stay
[Verse 6]
So go and grab the reporters so I can smash they recorders
See they confuse with some bullshit like the New World Order
Meanwhile the D.E.A. teamed up with the C.C.A.
They tryna lock **** up, they tryna make new slaves
See that's that privately-owned prison, get your piece today
They probably all in the Hamptons, braggin' 'bout what they make
Fuck you and your Hampton house, I fuck your Hampton spouse
Came on her Hampton blouse, and in her Hampton mouth
Y'all 'bout to turn shit up, I'm 'bout to tear shit down
I'm 'bout to air shit out, now what the fuck they gon' say now?
[Outro]
I won't end this high, not this time again
So long, so long, so long
You cannot survive
And I'm not dyin', and I can't lose
I can't lose, no, I can't lose
'Cause I can't leave it to you
So let's get too high, get too high again
[Outro]
Too high again, too high
[Outro]
Egyszer a Nap úgy elfáradt
Elaludt mély zöld tó ölén
Az embereknek fájt a sötét
Ő megsajnált, eljött közénk
