Lyrics

[Part 1: "SISTER"] [Intro: Merlyn Wood] Drink out the apple pie with it, yeah, yeah, yeah I don't got no chains in my denim, yeah, yeah, yeah I don't listen what the blogs tell me, yeah, yeah, yeah I know niggas got their own agenda, yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 1: Joba] I've got ****, but you would never know I like to hide them, so much I lose myself That's why I'm pure to some, a psychopath to others And grew up in counseling, flipping off my counselors They gave me mood stabilizers But when I came off 'em, I was violent Took the drugs that I wanted, which didn't help with the voices They just grew louder and louder Like all the people who'd just chatter and chatter I juggle all my personalities [Interlude: Robert Ontenient] Estoy tan harto y cansado No puedo seguir haciendo esto Ojalá pudiera rendirme Pero tengo que seguir siendo fuerte para mi familia y mis amigos [Verse 2: Kevin Abstract] I feel myself getting better by the fuckin' minute 'Member when my mama always had to save the minutes "Throw Some D's" dropped, I wanted to be Russell Simmons Better keep work 'em out, had an inner vision Where the kitchen at? Keep the lyrics written They been sellin' dope, askin' for forgiveness I just ran into somebody sellin' lemonade Kiss your kids tonight before them bitches run away [Chorus: Kevin Abstract] Get your man, get your man all up off me Think again, want a hundred bands around me In December, I don't care what they call me [Refrain: Kevin Abstract] This for all my broke niggas, this for all them jokes, nigga That you niggas made when I was still livin' at home, nigga Did it on my own, nigga, grew up and I bossed out Grew up and I bossed out, grew up and I bossed out [Verse 3: Matt Champion] I see you peekin' through bushes And tryna get secret ingredients from us I know that you do it 'cause you see us boomin' Like C4 when you hit that detonator Lucky-lucky on the elevator Eat my dust, baby, I'll see ya later I could always call your bluff You already said enough Take a risk, bitch, still sittin' on your ass, waitin' for a handout Giving nothin', put your hands down "Ooh, yeah, this for the culture" "Ooh, yeah, this important" Fuck off with that slang shit Fuck off with that networking Keep your mouth where the money at [Bridge: Dom McLennon] Yellow lights on my dashboard Red flags in the rearview I know I'm the one that made you upset But all I wanna do is heal you You know that lately I don't think straight But I don't really know who do now 'Cause everybody got me fucked up I'm struggling with how to move now Yellow lights on my dashboard Red flags in the rearview I know I'm the one that made you upset But all I wanna do is heal you You know that lately I don't think straight But lately I don't know who do now 'Cause everybody got me fucked up I'm struggling with how to move now [Chorus: Kevin Abstract] Get your man, get your man all up off me Think again, want a hundred bands around me In December, I don't care what they call me Get your man, get your man all up off me Think again, want a hundred bands around me In December, I don't care what they call me Get your man, get your man all up off me Think again, want a hundred bands around me In December, I don't care what they call me Get your man, get your man all up off me Think again, want a hundred bands around me In December, I don't care what they call me [Part 2: "NATION"] [Verse 1: Kevin Abstract] Barely got control of it, must've got a hold of it Threw me to the ground and left a scar right on my nigga lips I look in my closet when I think about the past life Never good in my wallet, tryna see if I got my cash right Fuck a flight, they ain't never wanna treat my bag right Fuck a job, they ain't never treat my mom and dad right [Verse 2: Ameer Vann] I hate the quiet suburbs, I hate those picket fences I hate the separation, first thing, they called me "nigga" I fight, I got suspended, my teacher saw me hit him So they ain't listen to me, and from that moment on I would learn that I was different, I would grow to see the difference Second-guessing my decisions, Black bodies come up missing [Chorus: Kevin Abstract] I feel like all my days are coming to a blend I feel like all my days are coming to a blend [Verse 3: Dom McLennon] I would walk through the halls at my own pace Every lunch, I would float, having no place All the books in my bag 'til my bones ache Wonder how the world would be if I had no face If I had no heart, if I had no skin And I was just thoughts Reminiscing on things that was brushed off How my father tried to tell me I was just soft When I look at the things that I've been through And the things I survived, and at what cost All the love in my life that I just lost All the strength, perseverance, and above all In the lies of the law, I'm a problem In the eyes of the blogs, I'm a paycheck In the eyes of the world, I'm a icon In the eyes of my own, I ain't start yet In the eyes of the law, I'm a problem In the eyes of the blogs, I'm a paycheck In the eyes of the world, I'm a icon In the eyes that I own, I ain't start yet, I ain't start yet [Bridge: Merlyn Wood] Power, African power Power, African power Power, African power [Chorus: Kevin Abstract] I feel like all my days are coming to a blend I feel like all my days are coming to a blend (Uh) I feel like all my days are coming to a blend I feel like all my days are coming to a blend
