Van Gammon - 4 Tha Culture Lyrics

Problematic, Unapologetic
Put that bounty on they head that way they won't forget it
I'm making room for home improvement there'll be no pretending
If they don't pay up now we taxing up on all descendants
Or tell em pull up like a hand brake
Vice gripping, suckas won't recover from the hand shake
Glory to the artists painting portraits on the landscape
Now they watch flooded like the governor let the dam break
Journey, I've been on one like a Smollett
They got plenty game to sell but they gon up charge if they quote it
Yea, I bleed for the culture, that's required of my membership
Cuz that's BAE: Black American Excellence

Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
I made it out

There may never be another Martin Luther
But lately, I've been having flashback of the future
No dashiki but I'm back back on my Kunta
Tag graffiti, twisting backwoods with some shooters
You know the media always got a list of tales
Of how these rap lyrics transition into liquor sales
Black male, tightrope walking over tipping scales
Lord, please forgive me, I've been chillin with the infidels
Making sure I get they stories right
Couple war scars, couple wounds but none to glorify
If I show 'em mine, they gon think my soul's immortalized
There's a strength in numbers, baby, maybe we can fortify when we

Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Made it out for real
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Made it out for real
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Made it out for real
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Made it out for real

And it feels like something I've been missing for so long
I made it out!
If the feel is right
We gonna dance tonight
We gonna fade away
We gonna burn the light down
To the ground baby
I made it out baby

This culture, is everything

That's BAE: Black American Excellence
Did it for the Ville, I'm feeling like Dennis Smith
My son shining, my earth bring me the elements
I'm realizing it's way deeper than melanin
Still wish I was blacker tho, not that it would matter, most
Out here searching for the code, wonder what's the antidote
Sick sad world, Prayer is just a pill
And when my money right, I'll take one with every mill
Youngin', I'm becoming what they always hated
Dance around my city, cuz we finally celebrated
Yea, I bleed for the culture, that's required of my membership
Double up or nothing, it's a gamble just to mention it

Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Made it out for real
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Made it out for real
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Made it out for real
Do it for the culture
Do it for the culture
Made it out for real

And it feels like something I've been missing for so long
I made it out
If the feel is right
We gonna dance tonight
We gonna fade away
We gonna burn the light down
To the ground baby
I made it out baby
