angUnique - Urban City Lyrics

Grandma
We got out of there, we moved quick. We migrated
We moved out and I went to New York. My auntie helped me
So she told me to go to New York. It was much better
It's more freedom. It's family. It's churches. It's love
Asking where my family roots from, they're from the south in the ghetto
No grills needed when your teeth is straight up yellow
I wish a brother would holla at me from the window
Settling for less? Oh no, that's a no-no
Getting this chicken and cheddar, I'm grinding
I wish a brother would try, tell me he would provide it
Throw your shades on, it's summertime. Open toes out, nails looking fine
Fire hydrants turn to sprinklers in the city
Ice cream trucks on every corner getting busy
Old folks on the porch chatting it up
Auntie and cuz at the cookout, holding us up
Our culture never silent, but we're sweet
Black culture always gonna thrive through the urban community
Hit the beauty store, buy all the cheap imports
Straight from the horse tail, synthetic but we wearing it well
You represent the culture and you're doing it right
Black don't crack, say it louder for the people in the back
You represent the culture and you're doing it right
Black don't crack, say it louder for the people in the back
You represent the culture and you're doing it right
Doing it right. Oh yeah, you're doing it right
You represent the culture and you're doing it right
Black don't crack, say it louder for the people in the back
From the bottom to the top, I'm on my go
Through the bricks, dodging licks you already know
I grew up in the 90s, Jersey where you find me
Block to block, hood struggles was so grimy
But we on the elevation from the situation
Tragedy to triumph, like recycled sanitation
Hip hop through the airways across the nation
We on a takeover status, no procrastination
Uh, we enlighten the masses
Want that swag? Enroll in these classes
And what you know about shell top Adidas and a fitted
Yes, I stay black, plus I'm gifted
This culture's not just a state of mind
Relate to fate, but elevate with time
Word is key to behold when it's written in scriptures
Just a moment in time lasts forever in pictures holla
You represent the culture and you're doing it right
Black don't crack, say it louder for the people in the back
You represent the culture and you're doing it right
Black don't crack, say it louder for the people in the back
You represent the culture and you're doing it right
Doing it right. Oh yeah, you're doing it right
You represent the culture and you're doing it right
Black don't crack, say it louder for the people in the back
Come on
We got out of there
Now you understand
