Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On my way to Bootsy Bellows with hella the hoes
Tryna think what I'ma tell 'em when they get alone
I'ma glutton for women I shouldn't yearn for
Shouldn't be tempted, but, baby, I like to hurt or
Maybe 'cause I was searchin', I found me the perfect person
But me and her didn't work out
She buried what she worked for
And I carried the bitterness of a kola nut
Nigerian shit, my parents never showed much
Womanizer, probably could've be been a feminist
'Cause I respect 'em, but, Lord, I got polygamy problems
The hoodie come from Barneys, spending money is therapeutic
To wear the shit they don't think that you care to buy
So we buying Prada, Balenciaga like it is nada
In the Ferrari, my fear is God and tax problems
Pyer Moss, I dropped ten on my last visit
And half that up a Saks, I favor black businesses
[Verse 2]
Sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's black
Yeah, uh-huh, yeah
Sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's black
Yo, yo-yo, look, look
Sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's black
Spent 'bout two racks on handmade durags
Sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's black
That's everybody from sports to college, class to rap, I'm back
[Verse 3]
In my time
And it just controls
And now I know
It's for sure
I ain't gonna let, ain't gonna let go
God won't let, no
[Verse 4]
Hold up, yo, look
People, people, the high life is a movie, we ain't promised a sequel
Ambition, my second album, how is you sleeping?
Dropped the album with Seinfeld, they thought I was tweaking
A prophet, a genius
I'm flying with Lena, I'm riding with Nina
One write for the Chi, one right where I need her
The funny thing is I'll always be single
I love me some Logan, I love me some Issa
I never get either, them women is queens, me
I'm a drunk, I'm a demon
Heaven knows I'm a dreamer
I seen Taraji and Kelvin, always hope I could be that
I fell in love with an actress acting like she don't need me
Polarizing the sun, underrated again
Show business will never love you the way you love it
You come and we go, they quick to forget
So every bourgeois event I attend, I tell 'em this
[Verse 5]
Sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's black
Yeah, uh-huh, yeah
Sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's black
Yo, yo-yo, look, look
Sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's black
Spent 'bout two racks on handmade durags
Sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's black
That's everybody from sports to college, class to rap, I'm back
[Verse 6]
In my time
And it just controls
And now I know
It's for sure
I ain't gonna let, ain't gonna let go
God won't let, no
[Verse 7]
I need you to know you're so beautiful
I need you to know you're so beautiful, oh
[Verse 8]
Okay, sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's black
Everybody be asking my sixth album my last
I'm super sick of this business
My daughter missing me, ****
The whip is bullet repellent
But they gon' kill me with tax
**** really on clout, they ain't checking for stats
Who a decade or better, give **** decadent rap
Respect is in order, hate me, better do it loud
Root for everybody black, haters say, that's crazy, wow
It's crazy, wow
(In my soul, deep in my soul)
