Lyrics
[Verse 1]
See the storm (Yeah, yeah, uh)
Over there (Yeah, yeah, uh)
Here it comes through (Check, dog)
[Verse 2]
Take a chance, have faith my lad
You got all the same tools all the greats have had
Two eyes, two ears, one mouth, two hands
You can watch, listen more than you speak
Take advantage, you peep
All the karma that come with makin' the cream
The crop, full of demons providin' you what you need
They got, what's your thing, alcohol or the lean
Put the coke inside the weed, them **** seasonin' the greens
Rap game turn from the slingers to the fiends
But I'm in between, ya mean?
I ain't pickin' teams but I had dream like King
Fuckin' on a dis pretty lil' bit-, Queen I mean
Point me to the cheese, **** talkin' cream
Park the car, I'm 'bout to part the seas
And move a mountain for money
Nothin' keepin' me from gettin' to you, gettin' to me, Marvin G, Tammy T
But get ya eyes cleaned for somethin' you have never not, not seen
[Verse 3]
Uh, check
Take a chance have faith my lad
You got all the same tools all the greats have had
Maybe lesser than that
Way back when I was puttin' on my football hat
This institution came recruitin', lil' route for the stats
They sat me in a room with my dad
And it was cool but when they left I was glad
And my pops was too, he said, "That's good ass parentin'"
Reminded 'bout that place that did them **** experiments
On them black people, share croppers down in Alabama
Damn, it's not that far from Atlanta
It was the 1930s and they did them black folk dirty because a tan
A man was not a man, ****, yo granny was a grand
A scam into the plan to go recruit a group of stupid ****
And shoot 'em up with Syphilis instead of shoot kill 'em
That's stupid different
The lengths that y'all trip to catch a **** slippin' and for what?
'Cause we look different
[Verse 4]
Look, take a chance, have faith, you in last place
Take a stand but don't take the stand for your man's sake
Just a dad tryna put sum ham on the damn plate
I'll be damned, I don't feed the fam, **** (Damn straight)
Elbow rubs and handshakes from hands that tied ropes on necks in red states
Another dead black ass man, I need a damn break
They never gave us a chance, I had to take it
I need all da payments, for everyday we suffered all the hatred
I want my granny to shoot hands with Nancy Reagan
I want emancipation, standin' naked on the auction with my dick out hangin' for reparations
No matter how much I say it, they ain't hearin' my voice
'Cause as long as them crackers payin' you ain't much of a choice
And you could shoot a million Jays, you'll prolly never be Jordan
**** ran for a million yards, you still forty acres short
[Verse 5]
See the storm
Over there
Here it comes
