I'm America's worst nightmare I'm young black and too intelligent to be scared I'm from back when you knew everyone you was near And your circle been around and could never produce a square, right? I'm from there and you know how living there goes Ribbons in the air and love whipped into O's My man be sending prayers up for the give and the go He said he pull a chair up and blow a kiss to the stove, mwah All love like splitting this hero with you Or when they toss slugs to see if there's hero in you I'm here to talk us and see if it's beneficial And it's really all love if you bringing some Henny with you, right? 'Cause God bless what the Hennessy made clearer Sitting in your chest while you sit out the day with us The feeling that you got when you see what some cake get us Or the feeling of you watching them tear down the Slave Theater, right? They place you to get yours then put you outta place Knowing you was just taught to keep a hideaway Like you don't come from the store until you got a plate Or flowers over your thoughts like Billie Holiday Either or, or, until we up and gone They're calling 311 but they was color drawn I watched spots get turned to croissant sellers Like how I watched pots get turned into card pressers Tried to make it all make sense like more Adderall Where every note carries over like if I add a horn Caught a way up with visions of 40 acres So know when I talk these I add a Lee like Cannonball Adderley? Cannonball? Never mind That'll make sense by tomorrow if you should get the time No ticking like you spent ten long on the ticket I kick it like a Carmichael with it, and you stoked I did it for the power of a lobby Swear to keep it low unless I'm spotted like I'm Kwame I still never had to go and find a P.O. But my brother does, commissary honey buns Tryna keep 250 with him on the up and up Knowing it's still Bill and Russell when it come to us And what it was turns into what it be now All that you've become was given from what you be round He said Sky I was just looking to get a lead out Tryna get this run fore I kick it like it was three downs I said I'm tryna stop the Get Out's from playing keep out Both of us was talking bout how we can put a knee down His for the score, and mine for the cause Live for it all, aligned from the door Word to the new Jim Crow and how parole go And word to all of the above seeming homegrown Homegrown for the sake of it, uh Know to keep it homegrown for the sake of it, uh Do it for home and all the shit that you make of it Do it for home before they go get to taking it Homegrown Homegrown for the sake of it, uh Know to keep it homegrown for the sake of it, uh Do it for home and all the shit that you make of it Do it for home before they go get to taking it Homegrown
