Yo, yo, yo, yo It's Flowman, baby You dig? Ha ha I was born to be legendary for my whole life Day one had the green light Makin' moves under street lights Never shied from the limelight I was tailor made Taught by my daddy to run the fades if anybody disrespect my name But I grew up not a screw up; stood on my word and two nuts Time to suit up - hopin' police never shoot us So afraid of my black skin from way back when I'm just asking: Why y'all so shook of us black men? Nah, wait, I'll be civilized I just sit back and I analyze History white people fantasized - cause it ain't real Swear they be writin' some fan fiction that I can't feel Shitty film on a bad reel So counterfeit, that's a bad bill I'm gon get all that I'm worth long as I'm breathin' I'm ruling the Earth Long as you finish, don't matter who first respectin' the grind, I know that it works (Flow!) They tried to tell us that we came from savages They stripped us all of our names Still we winning championships though they was rigging the game And I know when it's over and I'm wrinkled and old (You can break down my body but you can't take my soul) They tried to tell us that we came from savages They stripped us all of our names Still we winning championships though they was rigging the game And I know when it's over and I'm wrinkled and old (You can break down my body but you can't take my soul) I been sold so many times I don't know where I am Maybe Mississippi or is it Maryland? Harriet said she was leavin' Ain't believe her 'til I seen it I ain't go with her but shit I ain't tell on her neither 'Cause I'm a House nigga Field niggas always talkin' shit Cause I get first dibs of the spoiled milk And I got all my fingers and toes Yeah, that's a blessin' From the white man's god The one he use as a weapon See, when you're martyred You're remembered You fall through the cracks You get hung by the timber And this my everyday Same thing for all the slaves I just hope that I can leave behind my name Black Souls They tried to tell us that we came from savages They stripped us all of our names Still we winning championships though they was rigging the game And I know when it's over and I'm wrinkled and old (You can break down my body but you can't take my soul) They tried to tell us that we came from savages They stripped us all of our names Still we winning championships though they was rigging the game And I know when it's over and I'm wrinkled and old (You can break down my body but you can't take my soul) Never shied from the dark side Middle finger to the alt-right Black pride that is all mine Ain't winnin' 'til we all rise Really we always been relevant to the American Sense of irreverence cause of our melanin And our development facin' impediments Cause of Confederates - I got the evidence I seen the closet and all of the skeletons Hit me too hard cause they are my relatives White people hesitant, 'specially the president Knowin' it's wrong but scared of the precedent Knowin' they owe us some pay back Really though, how could you say that? America, know that we made that But look at how they wanna portray blacks White law made us criminal; our rights always minimal American dream really pitiful, real talk, feelin' fictional Year after year it's the same thang, too many people that complain Know they too scared of the bang-bang and the chain gang It's insane, mayne They tried to tell us that we came from savages They stripped us all of our names Still we winning championships though they was rigging the game And I know when it's over and I'm wrinkled and old (You can break down my body but you can't take my soul) They tried to tell us that we came from savages They stripped us all of our names Still we winning championships though they was rigging the game And I know when it's over and I'm wrinkled and old (You can break down my body but you can't take my soul)
