[Intro: James Fauntleroy] Oh no, oh no Oh no, oh no, no Oh no, no, no Oh no, ayy, no, no Oh no, ayy, no, no [Chorus: Vince Staples] I wake up feeling like I am the coldest nigga breathing Look in the mirror like, "Goddamn," I know they wanna be him I wake up feeling like I am the realest nigga walking So watch your step and watch that shit you're talking, okay? (Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay) (Okay, okay, okay, okay) So watch the shit that you say, okay? (Okay, okay, okay, okay) (Okay, okay, okay, okay) So watch the shit that you say [Verse 1: Vince Staples] On "65," I tell the truth, no lies (I tell the truth, no lies) The sheets and crosses turned to suits and ties (They turned to suits and ties) In Black America, can you survive? (How well do you survive?) They made a nuisance once them nooses tied (Soon as the noose was tied) We gentrified, we victimized, we fighting for survival No hopes and dreams, just leave us be, we leanin' on the Bible They preying on us, praying for a better day tomorrow Hide the fear behind this here bravado (Oh) [Chorus: Vince Staples] I wake up feeling like I am the coldest nigga breathing Look in the mirror like, "Goddamn," I know they wanna be him I wake up feeling like I am the realest nigga walking So watch your step and watch that shit you're talking, okay? (Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay) (Okay, okay, okay, okay) So watch the shit that you say, okay? (Okay, okay, okay, okay) (Okay, okay, okay, okay) So watch the shit that you say [Verse 2: Vince Staples] We Black skinheads for real, was bred to kill (Was born and bred to kill) Been leaving niggas hanging, what you sayin'? (What are you saying?) Don't shake my hand unless you're passing payment (Passing my payment) Keep your salutations, need my forty acres Why they hate us? Why they wanna rape us for our culture? (Why, why, why?) They greet, defeat us, bleed us, then they leave us for the vultures (Why, why, why?) They break the brilliant off with millions, tryna break they focus More tan the man, the more alone and hopeless (Yeah) [Chorus: Vince Staples] I wake up feeling like I am the coldest nigga breathing Look in the mirror like, "Goddamn," I know they wanna be him I wake up feeling like I am the realest nigga walking So watch your step and watch that shit you're talking, okay? (Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay) (Okay, okay, okay, okay) So watch the shit that you say, okay? (Okay, okay, okay, okay) (Okay, okay, okay, okay) So watch the shit that you say
