Coloring Book

Lyrics

[Intro] We failed We didn't prevail Ohh, yeah We swell But that's just our well [Verse 1] If somebody try'na punk you Would you want to- Beat him up just cause they hunt you? And take you to a land where nobody's tan is tan as you But managed to hump you And make you have a golden baby But your great-great-grand-kids roll Mercedes Still fighting for equality with names like Talib Kweli He's too deep, they unfollowed me They wanna hear the shit that you be saying Caribou Lou and woop woop They took the K and you be paying I got a couple of sons to feed Don't wanna rock the boat with water underneath You could call that a slave mentality A sell out, I don't get evicted, don't get the hell out I'm just finna educate my sons I hate "niggas", but figure I'm the biggest one Now stop [Chorus] I am not who I say I am You are not who you say you are What you think? What you think you are? You are not what you look like I'm just saying read the book right What you think? Yeah, whatever you think you missed [Verse 2] You only hoping that you can get to open for a big name rapper And perfect your craft And all the weed smoking and all the words spoken You get on stage and that no one would laugh We would get the memos so when we hear your demo And Venmo you like a bag of cash Interview you and ask Did you do it for the culture, the cash, or to get more ass? Are you a have or a have not? Got weed in the stash spot? Ever bleed from a gunshot... Wound? I know you coons got a way of life Talking and holding a mouth full of gold Do you rap, do you play ball, or sing? It's all like the same thing You all try'na get bling Your pants all sagged y'all Studied your look Notice you're all the same color in the coloring book Stop [Chorus] I am not who I say I am You are not who you say you are What you think? What you think you are? You are not what you look like I'm just saying read the book right What you think? Yeah, whatever you think you missed [Outro] You can never get me right
