LEMAJ - Velvet for Buck (Live) Lyrics

Yeah it's a real special song
Real special song
It's called Velvet
Velvet for Buck man
My Pops man

Everyday of my life
I thank God for my Pastor
He instilled in me my self-esteem
I'm not a bastard
Disaster is rampant
In this world but we got laughter
We got laughter
Today and ever after
Granny smiling on me
In her mansion in the chapter
Coming after this one
I hope God don't tell me back up
In college how I used to act up
Black women I couldn't pass up
Lindsey was backin that ass up
CC was backin that
I was out getting so plastered
Residual checks that I cashed out
After I sent something home to my moma
Ciroq on the couch where I passed out
Woke up 1 shoe with no sock on
Thank you LORD wasn't no snapchat
But Veleashia seen me on Facebook
And she asked me where my class
I'm supposed to be Martin
I'm supposed to be Malcome
I'm supposed to be Huey
I aint living that outcome
I'm supposed to be Langston Hughes
I'm supposed to be Garvey
But all I'm reppin is party
So please DuBois me
Sometimes a Negro
Gotta give a upgrade to his conscious
Establishing his family name
Instead of just his Johnson
Do he wanna elevate to greatness
Or be common
Do he wanna sharpen mental weapons
Or disarm them
Do he wanna run as a Barack
Or vote for Clinton
Do he wanna elevate his Block
Or keep on lynching
Do he wanna put them bullets down
And pick up ballots
Stacey Abrams 'posed to be
In Georgia's Governors Palace
Pastor said I
Aint gotta stay in Egypt
The Son will always shine on us
'Less we make Him eclipse
I don't know if Kanye
Will ever come back
It's like they got him programmed
In his maga hat
But truth be told
We know everyday Ye's
Caught up in this race maze
When they gone we pray pray
We got our Vibranium
And we don't need our cranium
Infested with them zanny drugs
We building our Black Mania yeah yeah yeah
Building this Black Mania huh
I said we building this Black Mania hey
Build it up build it up build it
Yeah it's like this

My moma love Zamunda
My wifey love Wakanda
