Yeah

Oh yeah, hmmm
I... I hope allyuh listening 'cause I 'bout to talk for real
Huh, like wow
Niggers
Are we or are we not
Why do we exhaust ourselves
It's 'cause we lost ourselves
It's a misfortune to tell and of course we don't know it but
We assisted, not just slavery, we weren't always forced to help
We've heard that conversation before I'm so tired not woke anymore
Well lemme talk to niggers
'Cause I find y'all so bitter is mental slavery a result or a cause
Think about it
They say, the masters use that name to oppress us
Now we less educated than them and it's pressure
They use us to get rich, we does just get crumbs
So we find different ways to live 'cause we doh get love
So we doh give to anyone
Doh like the mirror nor we brothers and sisters
No respect for anyone no regrets 'cause of where we from
Then fishing switching up for digits
We'll do anything, shoot any gun buy anything, sell any drug
For the state to legally put us back in bondage or just kill
Then kids go through the cycle again we ain't grow up well
Another single mom, same neighborhood but we just chill
Grow up with a mental hold unsure why we upset still
But then there's the black man who work very hard
Made sure nigger wasn't on his ID card
Like them niggers in the hood, I living very large
I have a wife, three kids and a hairy dog" and we watch him like
This scary fraud, giving them tax money for them to come and bury ours
Can't be serious
But you doh understand, you doh understand
Them fellas grown nigger you just feel you man
Light switch turn on a while ago for them, you just feel you hard
You lil niggers cyah handle Sallie Mae or Uncle Sam
Maybe they won't treat us like niggers if we go to school
Imagine what would take place if we obey the rules
Just break the cycle and do right bro
Live yuh life like as though because of history, we have things to prove
Just 'cause I black doh mean I nigger
We may all look the same but we all have a lane and situations differ
But if we come together for more than saying F the police
Or RIP things can really change in a instant
But we not alike my brother
If I step down for y'all it might affect my come up
I'll be looked upon as a nigger like there's another
But I might do it for PR and increase in numbers
As long as the niggers prosper Wakanda forever
It's better when you have nigger supporters. Like wow
That's facts though
Vibranium bands yuh dig
Yeah
First of all I'm Nigerian
For the sake of the song 'Niggerian', I doh know what niggers be on
There's a fella in the bible called Simeon
He was called N-I-G-E-R 'cause his skin was very dark period
I understand the inherited PTSD and mental tumor
But nigger doesn't have to do with being less than human
Nigger comes from a Latin word that means black Google
Do research for once G and you'll find it useful
Like Christian, it was used to make fun of us
But we trying to be like Christ and da'is where they coming from
Now everyone call us Christian and even with the stereotypes
We proud of how we identified
So yes, they called us nigger during slavery nigger
But languages of those people were offspring from Latin
Think about Nigeria and Niger nigger
If they cyah call us nigger why should they call us black then
'Cause when they say yuh African, it's nigger they mean
It's up to us niggers to determine how we are perceived
They didn't make fun by saying niggers, niggers were made fun of
Our identity is wrapped up in what God spoke on us and He loves us
Do the research stop the assumptions
Put in the work and kill presumptions
The church doh identify with yuh thoughts and yuh numbers
Come down from there you doh even know where yuh come from huh
Yeah, nigger

Worketh Patience
03:32
|

Yeah, like wow
Why do I have to be
Yeah, why do I have to be
Mmm, fed up, just fed up
Oh wow, yeah
Have to be, have to be
Why do I have to be
Looking at mothers and sisters and brothers in agony
Why do I have to be
Afraid of your color, ashamed of my color? It's tragic see
Why do I have to
Have a bachelor's and then still hadda work in Applebee's
Why do I have to be
Struggling down here? Oh God I need strategy
Things not getting worse they getting exposed
'Cause Apple adding extra i's to your phone
Conspiracy theories no longer seem hoax
Oh gosh, I can't breathe, I need faith, I need hope
And they say easy access one click away from your goals
But I'm still oppressed and somehow I'm still broke
And with all that knowledge technology
People still look in between their legs and then they question anatomy
Why
Why do we have to be
It ain't making no sense
This is a tragedy
Why do I have to be
Like why, We need some strategy
What's the reason, you know
Why do we have to be
Why do we have to be, have to be
Why do we have to see
A lack of peace? The system separating the families
Why do we have to be
Rejecting health? 'Cause the good food, well it not attracting we
Pandemic give nature a chance to breathe
Social distancing magnify anxiety
But the racism trash is a pile, a heap
And we ain't take it out yet so we burn it down drastically
Freedom of worship is at risk
They think they want cheese so they don't trust none of the Pastors
They don't trust he skin
But when they wear these chains I never see the black one
Jesus what happen? Repeated patterns
Identity crisis have us in shackles and naturally
We do wrong when we know that it bad for we
Why do we have to be
It's like you know something wrong
What really happen G
It don't make sense
This is a travesty
Like why are we going through all of this
I don't even think I have the patience for all of this
Why do we have to be, have to be
Why do we have to be
So obsessed with single moms that we forget the good fathers G
Why do we have to
Get sick by medicine and regular things that we hadda eat
Is Disney, Google, FB the illuminati? Hold on
What if Siri and Alexa was lesbian, are they together
What plans you thinking they have set for us
In life have so many distractions
Unborn human rights well it been none
Time going just like your data
TikTok everyone wanna be dancers
Short-term pleasure just for greed we malicious we
Tip we souls off for service expeditiously
Not hard to see, the savagery
Of this world just breeding more apathy
Just to relate on a level you know, like
You look around and you... just wonder what it is going on
And, it's just a reminder, like
The testing of your faith Worketh Patience

Yeah we was moving wild, no lie
But I won't be a juvenile with no child
Just to be scrutinized when I
Choose to let you decide and then bye
Hi miss
If the sperm that merge with yuh egg justify this is my kid
Then I think I should also decide whether he/she die/live
Yuh wanna see me stress
Or you just want a sweet pet
Just to squeeze
Best believe
Kill the child now or to it I go be dead
Ha
Never really wanted the child
No disrespect
I just wanted to flex and have sex
So peace sign and I'm out
And I regret that I did it

You begging for miles
And we ain't flying the distance
It's less than just business
I'm taking you out
Taking you out
Aye
Tables turn
Umm, yeah duh
Doh baby me, yuh damn right ah pregnant
Ah know we didn't talk about this honey but we are not having kids
Yuh see this takes a toll on my body and that is not happening
If you could choose to leave and have more sex

Then why do I have to stay here and say prayers and bare with your nonsense
You cyah tell me what to do
I carry the shame not you
And God bless you on yuh process
Ah hope yuh get burn by whoever yuh on next

Morbid Thoughts
02:25
|
|||
Yeah
Aye
Like wow
I want to be very candid on this 'cause this is an idea people does play with
You understand
Aye, let we rap
Death
Either show you life's meaning or makes you question it
Or makes you doubt everything, hoping life never meant a thing
Marvelous creature, the expected unexpected thing
A friend told me she don't even want to be loved
So that when it's she time no one go be hurting so much
I pointed her to God with truthful encouraging thoughts
She thanked me for giving the talk but the thought stuck with me while moving on
If I go tomorrow it may not matter
That's a lie and I know better that makes it sadder
Plus I'm a nice person that likes to chit and chatter
Don't want to be cool no more, might just whip a snapper
So they don't deem me a social person I'll switch it up
Those that close to me already know that this image flunk
Seasons change but it's been dark literally many months
Don't want to go through this no more, just let me out I'm stuck
I know I'm wrong sometimes but I indulge in these morbid thoughts
Mmmm, yeah
I know much better, it takes
It takes much effort, so much huh
I feel alone sometimes when it's cold and I call out to God
God, yeah
I know much better but please
Hold me together. Oh jeez, I could never
None of we have the answers
But all you have to do is read what exposed in the chapters
Was watching a funeral, very saddened
Especially with the way people does approach what happening after
RIP to the brother though, gone too soon
A while back he sent me a sermon, cool
But I never revisited that conversation, I wanted to state that
The clip that he sent me wasn't speaking the truth
Whoops, let me help your mind
They're not looking down if they're there with Christ
They're not even there yet, 'cause in the end we rise
And you may not see everyone you love when come that time
You could coase that's fine
Heave great can't wait for the new Earth with the rest of the tribe
We need to stop pondering spiritual things with carnal minds
Hmmm, like wow let me done the rhyme

Not Quite Human
04:30
|
|||
Yeah
Like wow
I not sure if all you will feel me on this one, but we'll see
Yeah
Yow let me use myself as an example have ample reason to do so
Committed treason, oh shoot, no
If I'm no sheep then I'm who's goat
I'm fallen, I won't stoop low
I ducking to let the goose go
I fronting like pastor steal-toe
It's nothing I think my heel swollen
The fit bad and my walk trash, can't even chip na
The process not like slim fast. How I compute it? Sin bad, it not funny
And I not lucky it gave but it took a lot from me
Like grace and blessing did run from me now I on a chase
I relapse sometimes and then fall on my face
Don't remember the last time I call out on the name
Had to take into account a loss is not a gain
I recognize the cost of living the more that I fail
It's all good just life it's more of the same
Kill that talk good vibes no need to explain
Don't judge my isle and stay in your lane
I'm only human, right? So gimme a break
Well
Why it bothering you so much then
I know some of all you could relate to that
But if you're only human, that means it shouldn't be a problem
But why it bothering people
Why it bothering others, why it bothering you
Because it's inhumane? What's the point of that word
Anyways leggo
Turn up
Money, cars, hoes, bars, drugs, shows, streams, charts
I'm a beast, every beat decease from every speech
Special, not into tweets. This level of eloquence you could never reach
And a keeping the peace, real man take care of the fam
That's a double enten I sense envy and fear in your heart
And I weird with the bars, I'm like Shemus to rap
'Cause all I see is red here it's unfair when I start
Treasure beating in my heart (Or chest) my black owned business is good
And I feeding the hood, I know I new to this but
I want to build a kingdom or castle with me, myself and I
Aka the king and the rook
I'm the toughest cat
Bad dog, unicorn, goat, you know
The toughest to rap, but, hold on
How come my greatness named after things I have dominion over
Oh shocks
So dumb
That's... that's kind of off right
Yow
That's... that's not quite human so what are you
It... it have to be a better way right
Alright, well we ain't done yet
I know all you used to two verses
But this one requires a third
Let we wrap it up
Human, you're made in his image right
Is that how you're living life
I would say not quite
Stuck in your ignorance and your sinful vices
While thinking life is a privilege sigh
You forgiven, niceness now tell me why
It's 'cause of what Christ did
Your righteousness is lifeless nothing to pride in like filthy rags
Now I staying free 'cause He rip the tag, but listen na
This is a hundred percent God but don't get it twisted this is a man
He was 'bout the father business understanding the kingdom is at hand
He the truth, God in the flesh, endured the human experience too
God know the best. Only human is no excuse
He did what human 'posed to do. Made in His image, cool
Now you have one to live up to
Whoo
Yessir, you dig
Jesus Christ
One hundred percent man, one hundred percent God
The only perfect human being
The only human being that fulfilled the mandate of humanity
The rest of us, not quite right
He did it, now we know what humanity supposed to look like

Overlapping conversations and indistinct chatter
Look at me clear
Spots all over me
I make up my bed but
Still wrinkle my sheet
Look at me look at me bare and
I skinning my teeth
I could eat the fish but
I prefer loaf with the beef
Look at me clear
Spots all over me
I could- ugh... I ain't even know the lyrics
Oh gosh, remember your bars
Look at me look at me bare and
I skinning my teeth
I could eat the fish but
I prefer loaf with the beef
And I like it and I like it though
Can't put aside my childish woes
I have a valid antidote
But where I am seems right at home
Who never disappoint, Jah Jah
I going and disappoint, yah yah
Garment of praise fling off dat na
I don't feel like I could fish a man
Not the meanest but a menace
Leave me down to never get up
Fed up tell all you I fed up and broke
Things won't work out for the better ah-woe
Aye, you know, aye
Leave me and let me go
Out in the world you could feel that the pressure low
High time I feel I could take a hold
My life is me self and mirror own
Jeez let me sell my soul
Look at me clear
Spots all over me
I make up my bed but
Still wrinkle my sheet
Look at me look at me bare and
I skinning my teeth
I could eat the fish but
I prefer loaf with the beef
Look at me clear
Spots all over me
I make up my bed but
Still wrinkle my sheet
Look at me look at me bare and
I skinning my teeth
I could eat the fish but
I prefer loaf with the beef
Look at who
I don't look at you boy, I does look after you
You like an atom in my hand for true
You're savage, brutal and you're rude
My rule is enough
You doing too much to prove that you're cool
But you're suffering, ooh tough
Look what I do/done to show I love you son slash daughter
So silence yeah you done with talking
I'm omni in ominous
Optimal past Optimus
I am the prime reason the human race was opted for
Enough's enough
Act like you should look up to us
I is no genie my will inevitable
Know your place Jah far ahead of you
Creation they know so you look more than dumb
I'm the source of all, I is not no sorcerer
You look for balance in life
I am the balance of life, yeah
I am the life
Wait, I am, that's all that matters in life
What more can you tell me that's really important
My lifespan infinite, your lifespan near finish
i know the beginning and end I'm immortal
1,200K sperm died so you could be brought out
Don't waste your time here
I know you does cry tears
Sin have you locked up for 5 years
No looking around, to drive the point home let I steer
'Cause I'm here like I'm there
Bigger than all your mild fears
I'm not gone just working it's quite clear
And your life is precious, 'cause it's mine you hear
You hear? You aware
It's precious 'cause it's mine, you hear
Be clear you are my heir
Have no fear salvation is near
I need you to trust me, put no one above me
Yeah yeah yeah. Oh yeah yeah yeah
You should know that I love thee, love thee
You should know that I love thee, trust me
Lord I'm sorry
For thinking that I can see, can see
From your point of view Lord
I am not like you Lord so
I will humbly bow down and worship at your feet
Yeah
Like wow
Yeah, yeah, every man kneel, now
I say BOW, huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, every man kneel, now
