onikastallion • Viral nas Bermudas Posts: 129 Likes: 0	Post by onikastallion on Jul 15, 2021 23:00:14 GMT -5 Título: Damn Society. Artista: Onika Stallion. Data de Lançamento: 16 de julho de 2021. Duração: 59 minutos. Gêneros: Hip-Hop, R&B, Trap, Rap. Produção: Onika Stallion. Composição: Onika Stallion. Gravadora: Relapse Records, a division of Republic Records. Onika Stallion lança o seu primeiro álbum nas grandes plataformas digitais. O álbum que conta a história de vida da rapper, mostra também os dois lados da moeda vivenciada pela sociedade, dando ênfase maior à sociedade negra. Além de exaltar a cultura negra, a cantora exalta a figura feminina como símbolo maior encontrado na Terra. Isso já era de se esperar, visto que as primeiras entrevistas após o lançamento de Futuristic Woman, foram baseadas nesse contexto. O lead single do álbum, Futuristic Woman, também apresenta diversas características que associam a essa introdução. O álbum que conta a longa caminhada da rapper até os dias atuais, traz também batidas contagiantes e alegres para que o seu público aceite o projeto de braços abertos. Damn Society é uma forte jornada pela intimidade da Queen Onika, processo realizado junto à símbolos, personagens e passagens bíblicas, começando do título do álbum mais o fato de ele ter sido lançado em julho, um mês de extrema importância para a rapper. A rapper tem a brilhante sacada de se apropriar dos estereótipos dado as mulheres negras, para mostrar que elas ganharam alguns rótulos pois não se submetem, como os de que todas são nervosas ou briguentas. Mostra também que o discurso feminista de união comunitária já era empregado pelas mesmas muito antes, e indo além, é corajosa em utilizar termos tidos como tabu pela própria comunidade. Além disso, a artista volta às raízes e não esconde a amargura nas letras de seu novo álbum, predominado por composições densas e assuntos poucos comentados como o aborto que sofreu na adolescência e a morte de seus parentes mais próximos. Todo o enredo do projeto acontece no Texas, mais especificamente em Houston, cidade onde a rapper nasceu, conhecida por sua história mística e cultural afro-americana. PROPOSIÇÕES APRESENTADAS I – Direitos Civis e Violência Policial Em ''Rise Up'', momento onde o álbum começa a mudar o tom, Stallion adentra fortemente nas questões raciais contemporâneas e refere-se à violência policial contra negros. Rise Up fala sobre negritude na América traz mães de jovens negros assassinados pela polícia, incluindo Michael Brown e Eric Garner. "Liberdade, liberdade, onde você está? Porque eu também preciso de liberdade” e “vou continuar a correr, porque uma vencedora não desiste dela mesma" são frases que ela canta. II – Malcolm X Onika cita uma frase do líder revolucionário negro Malcolm X, assassinado em 1965 aos 39 anos. "A mulher mais desrespeitada da América é a mulher negra. A pessoa mais desprotegida da América é a mulher negra", canta ela para, em seguida, utilizar trechos de discurso do militante, como "Uma vez motivado, ninguém mais é capaz de mudar tão completamente quanto alguém que esteve no fundo do poço". III – Escravidão Todos escolheram a morte ao invés da escravidão. É possível perceber como a personagem se encontra num estado de quase morte, mas sempre com tons dourados ao seu redor, de forma a transparecer uma ideia de força e luz. Isso fica extremamente evidente na construção da faixa intitulada ‘’Bondage’’. IV – Intuição O espaço em questão se assemelha ao interior de castelos ganeses, como o "Elmina Castle", onde os escravizados eram trazidos e mantidos até serem vendidos para as demais cidades das Américas. O passado e o presente se fundem aqui porque ela é forçada a tomar uma decisão, o perdão ou o abandono. Enquanto isso, seguimos com a personagem angustiada, presa em seus medos, por isso o uso das roupas pretas e em frente ao mundo. Em contraste a isso, cabe citar a metáfora que é, a Stallion ajoelhada em frente a um palco, no vídeo de Win Again, como se sua relação pessoal em ruínas estivesse sido apresentada ao público. V – Amor Um dos elementos mais chamativos de Damn Society é a sintonia entre o amor e Onika Stallion. Durante todo momento em que Onika e o amor cantam juntos, eles funcionam em uma perfeita harmonia, principalmente no fechamento do disco, em “Futuristic Woman’’. Mesmo assim, o disco tem um brilho maior na estrela de Stallion e as suas críticas, que explicita mais do que nunca seu talento nos momentos de rap do álbum, e aumenta o seu leque de dons. VI – Urgência e Relevância A rapper não hesitou em aclamar a negritude, exemplo disso é a letra da música ''Lust''. Aqui a discussão é bem séria, começando novamente com uma introdução que fala de amor. “E há o amor da humanidade. Esse é o amor que é agora mais necessário”, diz o trecho para logo depois as referências começarem. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X e os ataques policiais sofridos por pessoas negras, inclusive com o nome de Trayvon Martin. Além das críticas à violência, a canção fala também de como a cultura negra é comprada e apropriada por brancos, mas as pessoas de cor continuam sofrendo racismo.

Em letras, a música é um relato sóbrio de uma ampla gama de desafios pessoais o rapper tem enfrentado em sua vida, a partir de relações tensas com sua família para o assassinato de seu primo, Nicholas Telemaque, em julho de 2011. Stallion abre a canção com uma reflexão sobre a fama e a velocidade com que a vida se move para a frente. LYRICS VERSE 01 Yo, I had to reinvent, I put the V in vent I put the heat in vents, man I been competin' since I look beyond what people sayin', and I see intent Then I just sit back and decipher, what they really meant Cherish these nights, cherish these people Life is a movie, but there will never be a sequel And I'm good with that, as long as I'm peaceful As long as sevens years from now, I'm taking my daughter to preschool Cherish these days, man do they go quick Just yesterday, I swear it was '06 Ten years ago, that's when you proposed I look down, yes I suppose PRE CHORUS All things go, all things go All things go, all things go CHORUS I feel one minute, yeah we got it then it's gone While we keep waiting for a moment to live for So can't nobody ever tell me that I'm wrong 'Cause I'ma ride out with you still the night is young We keep goin', we go, we go, we go We wake back up and do it all again (And we know, we know) say fuck the world, we ridin' until the end When all is said and done, look what we've become I just want you to know that I did it for you VERSE 02 I lost my little cousin to a senseless act of violence His sister said, he wanted to stay with me, but I didn't invite him Why didn't he ask, or am I just buggin'? 'Cause since I got fame, they don't act the same Even though they know, that I love him Family ties, broken before me, niggas tryna kill him, he ain't even call me And that's the reflection of me, yes I get it, I get it, it was all me I pop a pill and remember the look in his eyes, the last day he saw me PRE CHORUS All things go, all things go All things go, all things go CHORUS I feel one minute, yeah we got it then it's gone While we keep waiting for a moment to live for So can't nobody ever tell me that I'm wrong 'Cause I'ma ride out with you still the night is young We keep goin', we go, we go, we go We wake back up and do it all again (And we know, we know) say fuck the world, we ridin' until the end When all is said and done, look what we've become I just want you to know that I did it for you VERSE 03 Let me make this clear I'm not difficult, I'm just 'bout my business I'm not into fake industry parties, and fake agendas Rock with people for how they make me feel not what they give me Even the ones that hurt me the most, I still show forgiveness I love my mother more than life itself, and that's a fact I'd give it all, if somehow I could just rekindle that She never understands, why I'm so overprotective The more I work, the more I feel like, somehow they're neglected I want 'Caiah to go to college, just to say, "We did it!" My child with Aaron, would've have been sixteen, any minute So in some ways I feel like 'Caiah, is the both of them It's like he's 'Caiah's little angel, looking over him And I know Jelani will always love me, and I'll always love him And I'm just his little sister not Onika Stallion when I'm around him Jee we did it, let's leave this imprint Just finished writing, this is Damn Society PRE CHORUS All things go, all things go All things go, all things go

Quem nunca tentou esconder os sentimentos para evitar sofrimentos? Onika assume em Help que preferiu se afastar de seu amor com medo de ter o coração partido. Surpreendentemente, a rapper mostra versatilidade vocal ao atingir notas altas e descartar cantoras de apoio para fazer o próprio refrão. LYRICS PRE VERSE I lied, I lied, I lied To keep you from breaking my heart Even though I said I didn't love you I lied, I lied Even though I said I didn't need you I lied, I lied To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh Even though I said, "Don't touch me" I lied, I lied VERSE 01 I can't fall for you, can't give my all to you Can't let you think that I'ma let the game stall for you Gotta protect me, you gotta sweat me You said you thought you was ready and I said let's see But I ain't mean that, I need some f- proof 'Cause what happens if I fall in love then you cut me loose? You just a heart breaker, won't let you break mine 'Cause I'll be smashing windows and cutting them brake lines PRE VERSE 02 I lied 'Cause who knew that if I just let myself go with you Who knows? Who knows? So I lied To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh Even though I said, "F- you" I lied, I lied VERSE 02 I thought eventually you would let me go That was my insecurities and my ego Missed my jump shot missed my free throw Miss the way we kiss miss the D, yo Man it was good while it lasted That sh- wasn't real it was magic If it was a record it would have been classic But f- you though, orgasmic I guess this is what I gotta do to keep me from falling Stalling the truth, who knew what you'd do if I let you in? My mama ain't raised no fool, I I'm not your usual typical type Who would protect me if I never hide? Falling so fast I am afraid of you, so I lied CHORUS I lied, I lied To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh, oh I lied Ooh, baby Ooh FINAL VERSE 'Cause who knew that if I just let myself go with you It's all good now, goodbye love You'll stay, you'll stay in my heart (you'll stay in my), forever

Onika então, retrata sobre as amizades e a sua influência sobre elas. A rapper apresenta as mais diversas formas líricas que ela pode encontrar, além de brincar com as palavras, traz a importância da verdadeira amizade. A faixa em si, não passa de uma homenagem a todos os seus amigos que estiveram sempre ao lado da rapper, principalmente durante à sua infância.

Nesta canção, a rapper paga de dissimulada e responde à altura alguns artistas que tendem a provocá-la.

Na canção, a rapper demonstra toda sua personalidade artística e expõe mais ainda sobre a sua vida pessoal. A música no seu todo, a forma como a batida te puxa para um tom relaxante, as referências que ele faz em suas lutas e sem falar no último verso. ‘’Mas não importa que você está aqui agora mesmo que você não confundi-lo, é apenas uma nova viagem, ter um vislumbre no ancestral de sua família. Faça uma nova lista, de tudo o que você pensou que era o progresso’’. CONVERSATION Oh shit! I need that I need that sloppy That sloppy Like a Chevy in quicksand Yeah, that sloppy This feelin' is unmatched This feelin' is brought to you by adrenaline and good rap Black Pendleton ball cap (West, west, west) We don't share the same synonym, fall back (West, west, west) Been in it before internet had new acts Mimicking radio's nemesis made me wack My innocence limited the experience lacked Ten of us with no tentative tactic that cracked The mind of a literate writer, but I did it in fact You admitted it once I submitted it wrapped in plastic Remember scribblin' scratchin' dilligent sentences backwards Visiting freestyle cyphers for your reaction Now I can live in a stadium, pack it the fastest Gamblin' Benjamin benefits, sinnin' in traffic Spinnin' women in cartwheels, linen fabric on fashion Winnin' in every decision Onika is master that mastered it Isn't it lovely how menaces turned attraction?

Pesada e simples, ela exalta a população negra ao rimar que ela tem *“lealdade e realeza no seu DNA”, “Eu tenho força, ambição, flow no meu DNA”* e, ao mesmo tempo, fala de todos os estereótipos impostos ao longo dos anos como “Sexo, Dinheiro e Crimes”. A rapper flutua na instrumental e com um ritmo único, considerada por ela uma das melhores faixas do álbum, por isso que a escolheu para ser o lead single do projeto. LYRICS CHORUS I got, I got, I got, I got Loyalty, got royalty Inside my DNA Cocaine quarter piece, got war and peace Inside my DNA I got power, poison, pain and joy Inside my DNA I got hustle, though, ambition, flow Inside my DNA VERSE 01 I was born like this, since one like this, immaculate conception I transform like this, perform like this, was Yeshua's new weapon I don't contemplate, I meditate, then off your fucking head This that put-the-kids-to-bed, this that CHORUS I got, I got, I got, I got Realness, I just kill shit 'Cause it's in my DNA I got millions, I got riches Buildin' in my DNA I got dark, I got evil, that rot Inside my DNA I got off, I got troublesome heart Inside my DNA VERSE 02 I just win again, then win again like Wimbledon, I serve Yeah, that's him again, the sound that engine in is like a bird You see fireworks and Corvette tire skrrt the boulevard I know how you work, I know just who you are See, you's a, you's a, you's a bitch Your hormones prolly switch Inside your DNA Problem is, all that sucker shit Inside your DNA Daddy prolly snitched, heritage Inside your DNA Backbone don't exist Born onside a jellyfish, I gauge See, my pedigree most definitely don't tolerate the front Shit I've been through prolly offend you This is Paula's oldest son I know murder, conviction Burners, boosters, burglars, ballers, dead, redemption Scholars, fathers dead with kids And I wish I was fed forgiveness Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, soldier's DNA Born inside the beast My expertise checked out in second grade When I was nine, on cell, motel, we didn't have nowhere to stay At twenty-nine, I've done so well, hit cartwheel in my estate And I'm gon' shine like I'm supposed to antisocial, extrovert And excellent mean the extra work And absent-ness what the fuck you heard And pessimists never struck my nerve And that's a riff, gonna plead this case The reason my power's here on earth Salute the truth, when the prophet say VERSE 03 I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA (This is why I say that Hip-Hop has done more damage) (To young African-Americans than racism in recent years) I live a better, fuck your life (Five, four, three, two, one) this is my heritage, all I'm inheritin' Money and power, the makin' of marriages VERSE 04 Tell me somethin' You mothafuckas can't tell me nothin' I'd rather die than to listen to you My DNA not for imitation Your DNA an abomination This how it is when you're in the Matrix Dodgin' bullets, reapin' what you sow And stackin' up the footage, livin' on the go And sleepin' in a Villa Sippin' from a Grammy and walkin' in the buildin' Diamond in the ceilin', marble on the floors Beach inside the window, peekin' out the window Baby in the pool, Godfather goals, only Lord knows TRANSITION I've been goin' hammer, dodgin' paparazzi, freakin' through the cameras Eat at Four Daughters, Brock wearin' sandals Yoga on a Monday, stretchin' to Nirvana Watchin' all the snakes, curvin' all the fakes Phone never on, I don't conversate I don't compromise, I just penetrate Sex, money, murder, these are the breaks These are the times, level number nine Look up in the sky, ten is on the way Sentence on the way, killings on the way Motherfucker, I got winners on the way VERSE FINAL You ain't shit without a body on your belt You ain't shit without a ticket on your plate You ain't sick enough to pull it on yourself You ain't rich enough to hit the lot and skate Tell me when destruction gonna be my fate Gonna be your fate, gonna be our faith Peace to the world, let it rotate Sex, money, murder, our DNA

Até mesmo parte da produção fica a cargo da rapper. Entretanto, é possível perceber que, em meio a tantas personas artísticas, a artista foi levada ao abismo da dissociação, onde, entre tantos olhares da sociedade, ainda assim, ela não se via em ninguém. Além disso, a rapper também aproxima o público ao lado sombrio da sua adolescência, quando não possuía tantos amigos e se sentia deslocada. LYRICS VERSE 01 Watching haters wonder why stallion got the game locked Half-thai thickie, all she wanna do is bangkok Got her hair done, french braids now she asmatic Bino so insensitive, she asking, why you say that?! I'm chillin', real nigga feeling Rich kid, asshole: Paint me as a villain Still spitting that cash flow: DJ Thomaz I got a penthouse on both coasts: Ph balance Real nigga, I rep those, why though? Cause I said so Hip deep in the pepto, I got five on her like ben folds I got more tail than that petco, you faker than some sweet'n low Yeah, you got some silverware, but really are you eating though? Are you eating though? Nigga, are you eating though? Breakfast, lunch and dinner's for beginners, you ain't even know Never catching cases, why they faces look so e-m-o? Watch a hater hate me, wanna play me like a piano My architect know japanese, yo' girl, she jocking these No hands like soccer teams and y'all fuck boys like Socrates You niggas ain't copping these, niggas ain't looking like me Nah, I ain't checking ID but I bounce 'em with no problem Tell 'em, problem (problem!) PRE CHORUS I'm winnin', yeah, yeah, I'm winnin' (what?) Rich kid, asshole, paint me as a villain CHORUS What? Don't be mad cause I'm doing me better than you doing you Better than you doing you, fuck it, what you gon' do? VERSE 02 Different color, my passport, instagram my stack load Hashtag my day wear and your girl drink my day care And I'm born rich, life ain't fair (silver spoon coon, ho) Ain't nobody sicker and my fisker, vroom, vroom, ho Ain't nobody (Fiskers don't make noise when they start up, just so you know) Top of the hold 'em totem, ri-rich forever, a million was not the quota My father owned half the moma and did it with no diploma Year off, got no rules, tripping off of them toadstools More green than my whole foods and I'm too fly, jeff goldblum Got a glass house in the palisades, that a-k-a White hood, white hood, (okay-kay-kay) Furniture custom, you shop at ikea So maserati, you whipping a kia Spending this money, it's longer than nia Live like a coppola, me and sofia Waking up broke, man, wouldn't wanna be ya Friends with the dope man, help a nigga re-up Bring a girlfriend, man, trouble when I see her Err-err-err-err: Onomatopoeia, oh, I got my cool on!

Também demonstra seu desconforto com esse status mais introspectivo; como uma rapper que discutiu seu povo e a crença, a citação de Jeremias fala de sua profunda ansiedade sobre como o sucesso pode corromper sua alma. Os vocais presentes na faixa, de alguma forma soam como Onika ouvindo vozes em sua cabeça; eles, portanto, têm uma qualidade caótica, falando uns sobre os outros e tentando se distrair de seu vocal principal. A rapper fez questão de deixar estes sons na música, a fim de fomentar os ouvintes. LYRICS PRE VERSE Nobody pray for me It's been that day for me Waaaaay (yeah, yeah!) Ayy, I remember syrup sandwiches and crime allowances Finesse a nigga with some counterfeits, but now I'm countin' this Parmesan where my accountant lives; in fact, I'm downin' this D'USSÉ with my boo bae tastes like Kool-Aid for the analysts VERSE 01 Girl, I can buy yo' ass the world with my paystub Ooh, that pussy good, won't you sit it on my taste buds?

Durante a canção, Onika Stallion faz alusão à força da natureza, com o seu poder e influência de empoderar outras mulheres que, assim como ela, todos os dias se libertam dos laços amarrados pela sociedade. Sua maior referência discursiva, a infidelidade, é trazida diante de sua perspectiva como mulher negra, aludindo à história da escravidão direcionada aos negro-americanos e ao movimento Black Lives Matter. A artista, como sempre, aproveitou para dar seu toque especial imprimindo o sujeito negro como um símbolo da democracia como o resultado de protestos que se opõem ao racismo estrutural. LYRICS VERSE 01 Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder Tell the storm I'm new I'm a wall, come and march on the regular Painting white flags blue Lord forgive me, I've been running Running blind in truth I'ma rain, I'ma rain on this bitter love Tell the sweet I'm new PRE VERSE 01 I'm telling these tears, go and fall away, fall away May the last one burn into flames CHORUS Freedom Freedom I can't move Freedom, cut me loose Singin', freedom Freedom Where are you? 'Cause I need freedom, too I break chains all by myself Won't let my freedom rot in hell Hey! I'ma keep running 'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves VERSE 02 I'ma wade, I'ma wave through the waters Tell the tide, "Don't move" I'ma riot, I'ma riot through your borders Call me bulletproof Lord forgive me, I've been runnin' Runnin' blind in truth I'ma wade, I'ma wave through your shallow love Tell the deep I'm new PRE CHORUS I'm telling these tears, go and fall away, fall away May the last one burn into flames CHORUS Freedom Freedom I can't move Freedom, cut me loose Singin', freedom Freedom Where are you? 'Cause I need freedom, too I break chains all by myself Won't let my freedom rot in hell Hey! I'ma keep running 'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves VERSE 03 Ten Hail Marys, I meditate for practice Channel nine news tell me I'm movin' backwards Eight blocks left, death is around the corner Seven misleadin' statements 'bout my persona Six headlights wavin' in my direction Five-o askin' me what's in my possession Yeah I keep runnin', jump in the aqueducts Fire hydrants and hazardous Smoke alarms on the back of us But mama don't cry for me, ride for me Try for me, live for me Breathe for me, sing for me Honestly guidin' me I could be more than I gotta be Stole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisy Code on me, drive on me Wicked, my spirit inspired me Like yeah, open correctional gates in higher desert Yeah, open our mind as we cast away oppression Yeah, open the streets and watch our beliefs And when they carve my name inside the concrete I pray it forever reads CHORUS Freedom Freedom I can't move Freedom, cut me loose Singin', freedom! Freedom! Where are you? 'Cause I need freedom, too I break chains all by myself Won't let my freedom rot in hell Hey! I'ma keep running 'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves FINAL VERSE What you want from me? Is it truth you seek? Oh, Father, can you hear me? What you want from me? Is it truth you seek?

A canção soa como algo mais animado, diferente do que já foi apresentado anteriormente. Aqui, a rapper caminha pela instrumental e com versos altamente precisos, mostrando que todos podem superar as suas barreiras, basta querer. Também é demonstrada toda a característica artística da rapper, com a sua intuição apresentada no vídeo da canção.

Na letra, Stallion revela que *já foi viciada em drogas* e usa disso para discorrer sobre seu antigo vício no mesmo medicamento outrora utilizado por Michael Jackson e Prince, dizendo que eles tentaram te avisar, e, amarrando a canção no contexto da faixa anterior, sobre superação, confessa: “às vezes fico assustado comigo mesmo.” LYRICS PRE CHORUS Shit could get menacin', frightenin', find help Sometimes I scare myself, myself Shit could get menacin', frightenin', find help Sometimes I scare myself, myself VERSE 01 Tweakin', tweakin' off that 2CB, huh?

O grande ponto em questão, são os versos da rapper e o título da canção que dão novo contexto, tratando do poder que a população negra tem sobre a sociedade além de toda a sua força e garra, devem se sentir privilegiados em poder desfrutar desse luxo. Além das críticas à violência, a canção fala também de como a cultura negra é comprada e apropriada por brancos, mas as pessoas de cor continuam sofrendo racismo. LYRICS PRE VERSE Can you tell us about love? Hmm, well, there's love of children Love of self Love of God Love of a partner And all of them have a different shape But all of them is the same in the end It's about sensitivity, it's about passion It's about unconditional giving of self to another person And there's love of humanity That's the love that is right now needed most Love of humanity But in everything, in all of that love, there is a soul It's like when you take some eggs and break them And you, and you take the shells and mix them up Trying to find the ones that match When you find the perfect match That compatibility results in passion Results in unconditional giving of self I hope I can say that again VERSE 01 I'm good on any MLK Boulevard I'm good on any MLK Boulevard See my vision with a TEC, bitch, I'm Malcolm X Haters dreadin' my effect, they want that Das EFX Get your hands up high like a false arrest Let me see 'em up high, this is not a test Yes, put 'em up, this is not a test Now hands where I can see them, fuck a false arrest VERSE 02 This Off-White fit that I rock, shit permanent The fro that I grow got no perm in it Hmm, a nigga late but he best dressed Got slowed down by the weight of my necklaces Parked the Lexus in the projects, bitch, I'm reckless Extra magazine, hopped on a jet with my Ebony chick Blacker than the Essence fest The behind the back pass is so effortless LeBron James to you Omaroses Dapper Dan at 4AM, shit, I am the culture I made my own waves so now they anti-Tidal I'm livin' the no sock life to spite you Since the Kalief doc, they've been at my neck Y'all can tell 'em Trayvon is comin' next The SEC, the FBI, or the IRS I pass the alphabet boys like an eye test REPEAT VERSE Yeah, yeah I'm good on any MLK Boulevard (I'm good) I'm good on any MLK Boulevard (he good) See my vision with a TEC, bitch, I'm Malcolm X (I'm Malcom X) Haters dreadin' my effect, they want that Das EFX (yeah) Get your hands up high like a false arrest Let me see 'em up high, this is not a test Yes, put 'em up, this is not a test Put your hands where I can see them, fuck a false arrest CHORUS Higher, higher Higher, higher Higher, higher Higher, higher Higher VERSE 02 I'm good any way I go, any way I go (go) I pull up like the Freedom Riders, hop out on Rodeo Stunt with your curls, your lips, Sarah Baartman hips Gotta hop into my jeans like I hop into my whip, yeah Mobbin' in a hoodie like Melo Come up out that pretty motherfucker like, "hello, Hello" I will never let you shoot the nose off my Pharaoh, yeah (yeah) I like purple and Purple Rain Tryna put red and blue together, bitch, that's on gang These people tryna get me out the paint 'Cause I cook collard greens and yams better than your aunt Man, we started with a mustard seed Now we in the gray 911 with the mustard seats Sheesh, matte black Puma jet Shining my light on the world just like "UMI Says" Got the Richard Mille, all colors Might hit you with the rose gold all summer For the culture They even biting cornrows, put your scarecrows up I come from the finest crop Tell 'em the god's on road, watch 'em line the block The Chitlin' Circuit is stopped Now we in stadiums, eighty thou' a wop, (yeah) watch CHORUS I'm good on any MLK Boulevard (he good) I'm good on any MLK Boulevard (he good) See my vision with a TEC, bitch, I'm Malcolm X (I'm Malcom X) Haters dreadin' my effect, they want that Das EFX Get your hands up high like a false arrest Let me see 'em up high, this is not a test Yes, put 'em up, this is not a test Now hands where I can see 'em, fuck a false arrest FINAL VERSE I know I've only come half the way But look in the mirror, I see an older me Not realizing all the years that passed away But I know I've only come half the way

A rapper abre seu coração e o lado mais profundo da sua família contando sobre a traição e desvalorização do seu pai para sua mãe, que morreu. Em um nível alegórico, esses elementos sinalizam a desvalorização das mulheres negras, de forma histórica e contemporânea. LYRICS VERSE 01 You can taste the dishonesty It's all over your breath As you pass it off so cavalier But even that's a test Constantly aware of it all My lonely ear Pressed against the walls of your world CHORUS Pray to catch you whispering I pray you catch me listening I'm praying to catch you whispering I pray you catch me I'm praying to catch you whispering I pray you catch me listening I pray you catch me VERSE 02 Nothing else ever seems to hurt Like the smile on your face When it's only in my memory It don't hit me quite the same Maybe it's a cause for concern But I'm not at ease Keeping my head to the curb CHORUS Pray to catch you whispering I pray you catch me listening I pray to catch you whispering (whisper, whisper) I pray you catch me (whisper, whisper) I pray you catch me I pray you catch me (praying) I'm praying you catch me FINAL VERSE What are you doin' my love?
