CRYPTOGRAPHY.

Lyrics

Yeah Ayo Gather round All my people on code, locked in Cryptography Midnight, ink to mahogany I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly My people on code, locked in Cryptography Midnight, ink to mahogany I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly My people on code, locked in Cryptography City house, village homes Motherlands, to the clouds, to the globe We are damned, disavowed and disowned But to tap ain't allowed, it's the code Tired of the old When the tyres hit the road We'll retire and dispose Suit and ties who oppose what we tirelessly grow I don't advertise what I own I just advertise what I know It's asinine when you gloat It's classist and I can't align with them folks If you're gassin' us to resist But want passiveness in approach It's cowardice under clothes Strip down and it's status with the quo I'm the baddest with the flow It's unanimously known I could say that with Diana's lasso wrapped around my throat It's an infraction to myself to give a half and not the whole Dawg, I'm African, don't make me get my ancestors involved God's gift is stamped on me, I'm Okechukwu And I don't need brands on me, my name is FUBU And not to be confused with Anansi or voodoo Nah its juju in my nation It's the kind of doodoo that you do not wanna play with And if you do do it on an occasion You might get that doodoo upon all your generations It bonds to you like Connery Only way that I'm xenophobic Is cos surrender's a foreign notion I've never known it or given motion to quittin' or an apology The thought of it is comedy Cos we be on code, locked in Cryptography Midnight, ink to mahogany I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly My people on code, locked in Cryptography Midnight, ink to mahogany I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly My people on code, locked in Flyin' business class upon these planes of parallel existence You can tell that we've resisted every hell and each condition It became a kind of ritual to excel in each position Every time they held us down We never fell into submission Swung from high to low Now back to highest is the mission Duck alliances cos of the biases within them Some of them will lie or just cry at the lightest criticism Producin' they truest colors like a light within a prism Or a white within a prison Nah I know that they just followin' codes Like cops, when people of colour involved Stop Kinda like prey and predator hydrate together at the watering hole You heard it somewhere, you swear But never did care to think of it logically though That's what we call privilege If that stirs the hate in you You're cooked, and prolly bigoted "But Blacks can be racist too!" F**k outta here with that gibberish The fact is if you separate your ego from your pigment Then perhaps it wouldn't take a little rap for me to trigger it Aura feelin' infinite Homies want some proximity To cop them just a little bit But I'm constant with the discipline And they probably couldn't stick to it With epoxy resin in the mix I am just built a little different And I distill knowledge Then I pour it til the brim filled Then I'm drinkin' it Wonderin' where anybody this filled with the spirit is Or maybe this skilled with the rhythmic They takin' it low but we stay high That bit is binary Cos we be on code locked in Cryptography Midnight, ink to mahogany I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly My people on code, locked in Cryptography Midnight, ink to mahogany I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly My people on code, locked in Cryptography Yeah Locked in, cryptography Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah And I'll be damned if my people gon' fold Cos my people on code, locked in
