Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The lace lady, travel with grace baby
I can’t afford to cover the costs of course maybe
Settle that one in court 'cause
Judging by the basics
Y’all already comfortable stuck up in the matrix
Shit is basic, past credentials
But understand your favourite rapper peep my goat potential
I’m not ashamed, been passive
Trying to fit a circle 'cause I don’t know how to act
Shit half of y'all is steady insecure don't try to backflip
Just because the seasoning of flow is already active
Only four years
Fantastic
Young veteran
New classic
[Verse 2]
Nah knock the walls off
Fuck the whole key we gonna hinge the whole door off
I’m still A.D never forget it
It’s life after death, roll the credits
[Verse 3]
I hate to say my feelings for you still exist
[Verse 4]
Credit my maker take a trip to see Jamaica
Marley spirit with the paper back to Zion that’s the nature
Africa the new America
I hope her role is permanent
And this I put my pen in it
Got my land and my permit with it
Bone of my bone
Flesh of my flesh
Greatness in me you can’t make me feel less
Less hold
I’m not impressed
Best mode
Got my Afro like an empress
[Verse 5]
Great state I’m in, in all states I’m in
I might final form, in my melanin
Great state I’m in, in all states I’m in
I might final form, in my melanin
Great state I’m in, in all states I’m in
I might final form, in my melanin
Great state I’m in, in all states I’m in
I might final form, in my melanin
[Verse 6]
Black power, louder
Black power, louder
Black power, louder
Black power
[Verse 7]
Last name Tembo, first name Eve
Somebody ate the fruit they told The Great to never eat
[Verse 8]
I’m dripping, DNA steeze
It’s like I’m, born great
I’d be mad two G's
Third world win it
1st world outdated
No mentor all my heroes assassinated
[Verse 9]
We’ve been here
Reincarnated
Tryna finish what they started and we made it
[Verse 10]
Great state I’m in, in all states I’m in
I might final form, in my melanin
Great state I’m in, in all states I’m in
I might final form, in my melanin
Great state I’m in, in all states I’m in
I might final form, in my melanin
Great state I’m in, in all states I’m in
I might final form, in my melanin
[Verse 11]
Black power, louder
Black power, louder
Black power, louder
Black power
[Verse 12]
I hate to say my feelings for you still exist
