NRICH (feat. 6LACK & Eryn Allen Kane)

**** do a lot of shootin', **** do a lot of shootin'

**** shoot off at the mouth

**** shoot pool, **** shoot craps

**** cut around the corners and shoot down the street

**** shoot sharp glances at white women

**** shoot dope into they arm

**** shoot guns and rifles on New Year's Eve

A New Year that is coming in where white police will do more shooting at them

Where are **** when the revolution needs some shots?

Rollin' wit' my ****, rich ****, these is my **** rolls

Jesus was a ****, my **** killed 'em, my **** rose

I know you love me runnin' the jewels, but these my **** flows

Love 'em like that dumb spit pimp love that **** ho

And that's word to Michael in Fresh, the realest **** know

That's the movies **** should watch, fuck Scarface and Blow

You still talkin' New Jack City, that's why you **** poor

I open Greenwood to show **** that we is more

Than stickin' green under the beams in mama's wooden floor

And I know some secrets that negro leaders'll never know

I was in cahoots with the spooks that sat by master's door

When the revolution let loose, they cuttin' master's throat

Aye, in the eighties as babies, we sold master's dope

Labeled us a nuisance, they used the courts like noose and rope

Us poorer **** babies

We gave ourself to slavery

**** rich, we made it

We should be celebrated

Oh, run up them millions

Oh, then build a village

Oh, then make your own rules

Fuck what they told you

Don't let 'em own you

Black and bright, black as night, black and brilliant

Walk by faith, not by sight, stand resilient

Truth always comes to life, time reveals it

Time reveals it

Black like my name, ****, shit what I know

I don't make friends, hop out and then I go

I don't pick sides, only my **** and they ****

We gon' turn the streets from projects into pillars

Pray all of my **** organize and strategize

Enemies are lurkin' round the way like camouflage

I'ma be a ****, get the picture 'fore I die

This is not a film, this is real, realize

Forty-three for combat, hit 'em right in they contact

All my **** abstract and we tight like we compact

**** carjack 'cause they jampacked and sidetracked

Came through our hoods, they ransacked, we pushed back

Black like my skin, whoa, black like a Benz, whoa

Black like my friends, you see black in the end, whoa

Don't parlay with opps, but I can if you kinfolk

Got it like a syndrome, nuttin' rich as my skin tone

Yeah

Know we really should be celebrated

But like everything else, we gotta fight for it, so

I'ma put on the gloves

Lemme state it, I real-estated when others hated

Born at Grady, a bastard baby, the single lady

I beat the odds, without God, I probably wouldn't have made it

It's underwhelmin' to be so overly underrated

But still they witnessin' all the riches of **** richness

Singin' and dancing's essentially just a **** business

But **** business can turn **** on to bigger business

They used to own us, but now we owners, that's independence

My phone is figures, I talked to Randell 'bout bigger figures

I told him, "I want a hunnid' mill'," he said, "Think bigger"

Fuck livin' average, I had to go savage to get lavish

I went from wearin' them leanin' that matches eyes embarrassed

And now I move through the Louvre, smooth, when I'm in Paris

My jewelry flashy, my shirts is garish, I'm drippin' ashes

On finest fabrics while in the back of a German carriage

Same birth date as Hitler, but fuck him, I'm a ****

Black like my skin, whoa, black like a Benz, whoa

Black like my friends, you see black in the end, whoa

Don't parlay with opps, but I can if you kinfolk

Got it like a syndrome, nothing rich as my skin tone

Oh, run up them millions

Oh, then build a village

Oh, then make your own rules

Fuck what they told you

Don't let 'em own you

Black and bright, black as night, black and brilliant

Walk by faith, not by sight, stand resilient

Truth always comes to life, time reveals it

Time reveals it

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Love, said, love

Said, me
