Testo Melanate It

My hair nappy, subconscious snappy, constantly laughin’
Pop shit and braggin’, I’m proud as shit if you asking the blackest
I feel strong in my skin, I love my accent
I’m not here without ancestors, It’s a bitter sweet past tense
The present taste like a… uh
A flavored piece of chicken from mama’s kitchen, finger lickin’
Shit be good in the moment, the reminder of that bullshit in the morning
Like when Monday come and you get some dumbass papers you reviewing Wish that time could stop on a Sunday afternoon barbecuing
Suns out, guns out
Kids run in, run out
Wifey runnin’ her mouth about getting Trump out
It sound like
“Baby, did you hear what happened on the news?”
“This man trying to take all the money and tryna take all the funding”
We jump in and jump out
To sustain funds for the house
No more hushing this mouth
Melanate

Brown is the crown you could never take
Never take, never take, never take
Down to the ground, remember that you great That you great, that you great, that you great
Sounds we provide fill up the place
Up the place, up the place, up the place
Bound to be astound, melanate the space
Melanate, melanate, melanate

My smile wide, Louis Armstrong, what a wonderful world
Not always wonderful, but I wonder where was the humongous turn?
‘Cause it was X against O, and now it’s X against X while O sit back
What type of tic toe tac is that?
My brain large, the resource small, didn’t know it all
All I knew was I wanted some Jordans from out of the mall, man something off
And I get appalled what I hear from y’all
It’s not our fault, it’s our call from the Lord
Oh boy, oh boy
Some days, I’m at peace and some days I wanna protest
Hear a voice say we all need help
I know that “utilize time”, I know that be reborn, yeah I know that
I know that, I know that
I know that, I know that
I know that my people strong, my heart strong, my home strong
My blood strong, my roots strong, yeah we strong
In 2055, we sit back in the amazement
In a castle eating watermelon, baby
Melanate

Brown is the crown you could never take
Never take, never take, never take
Down to the ground, remember that you great
That you great, that you great, that you great
Sounds we provide fill up the place
Up the place, up the place, up the place
Bound to be astound, melanate the space
Melanate, melanate, melanate

My golden skin, let it melanate
Let it melanate
Melanate, melanate
My golden skin, let it melanate
Let it melanate
Melanate, melanate
