Go hard
As if you were a
Rock upon a mountain
Spit your truth with
Liquid flow to
Imitate a fountain
A wellspring of knowledge
Lord knows
I didn't receive it by
Hauling my ashy ass
Off to college
What I have cannot be taught
I watched the industry
Killing my brothers
Teaching them lessons
I'd rather not be sought
Focus on the dough
F*ck up all the bitches
Sag them draws low boy
So the hood niggas
See the proper picture
I cannot believe
What I'm seeing with my eyes
Must admit that the
Status of my niggas
Came as surprise
So I'll set the word straight
Give em Irate
Shove it down the necks of People telling me
"You gotta act a primate"
I will not conform
I will not be bait
To biases
Stereotypical visions
Of what makes Afro-guys great
Afro-girls join me in rejection
Tell em nappy translates
Perfectly to perfection
Kill it
Oh
My black don't crack
Cause I got these
Cocoa Butter Dreams
But I
(Feel the whips)
Feel the whips on my back
Unh
When I'm walking in the streets
Don't give me that
Don't give me that
Rude
Don't give me that
Mean
No, no, no
We've come to far
To let our struggle die in vain
Ain't happening
No
Over my dead body
It wouldn't be the first
Dead body
(Ain't happening, no)
And all you've ever done
Is read bout it
So how about you
Get up and shout it
I'm irate, man
(No)
Over my dead body
(Dead body)
Over my dead
(Cocoa Butter Dreams)
And all you ever done
Is read bout it
So how you about you
Get up and,
Get up and,
Get up and shout it, man
Uhh
This pimp shit
Y'all limp dick
To vent loud like this
Need to been sick
Start to finish
Squad goals equal
Multi colored jewels
Up in the Roll
Checking checks
For what is owed
They be adding O's
Martin on my King
In his prime
I'm from his design
Black excellence
On something divine
Gets hot when we shine
But every day I'm
Feeling just fine
A-drinking my wine
Cause if they want a coon
They'll get one A$AP
I ain't lying
I do it
Oh
My black don't crack
Cause I got these
Cocoa Butter Dreams
But I
(Feel the whips)
Feel the whips on my back
Unh
When I'm walking in the streets
Don't give me that
Don't give me that
Rude
Don't give me that
Mean
No, no, no
We've come to far
To let our struggle die in vain
Ain't happening
No
Over my dead body
Will I ever end a day
A dead body
(Ain't happening no)
Oh, you see me as a monster?
Well that makes two of us
Over acting like you
Really read bout it
Uh
(No)
Over my lead shotty
Will I let you turn me into
Dead bodies
(Cocoa butter Dreams)
Quit playing like you
Really read bout it
And get up and shout it
Like you care about it
Unh, unh
Niggas standing firm
Against a hose-rain shower
Hatred for them
Grew by the hour
Now we can live in the world
Ain't never said it was perfect
But it's better
And it's all
Because our heritage
Survived the heavy weather
This my tribute
This my "pour it out"
This a sample of what
Years of sacrifice was all about
(All about, all about, all about)
And with my fist in the air
And the pick in my hair
I'm pointing to the mountaintop
And taking us there
Uh
