Title: Audubon Ballroom[00:00:06]
God is great [00:00:26]
Ghettos America U S to the izzay[00:00:34]
Killa in the citywide sprizzay[00:00:38]
Where there's sunshine in the shizzade[00:00:41]
Church won't pull him out the pin like a grenade[00:00:43]
For acting out their fears like a charade[00:00:46]
'Til they blackin' out their tears like it's lights out[00:00:49]
Bring em out the black like a lighthouse[00:00:52]
And wave to em before they wiped out[00:00:55]
Lifesaver threw em hope they catch it[00:00:58]
But it's so Titanic to be iced out[00:01:00]
That's just scratching the surface like triple axels[00:01:04]
Want to roll around that Bentley like Crystal Castles[00:01:06]
In addition to the chain[00:01:10]
That's just to take the attention from the pain[00:01:12]
Or is it the mission of the man[00:01:15]
Audubon Ballroom Motel Lorraine[00:01:17]
Now white people they can't say ni**a[00:01:20]
So I gotta take it back[00:01:27]
Now black people we're not niggas[00:01:31]
God made us better than that[00:01:38]
No break ah wait[00:01:43]
Little mayhem for your All-State nay ham all steak[00:01:44]
Get a good ball great like a golf grade[00:01:48]
Make the ball break[00:01:50]
Just one swing no putting[00:01:51]
That's how I try 'n does things always[00:01:54]
Especially when your past is[00:01:56]
Martin Baldwin Audubon Ballroom[00:01:58]
Turn the glass ceiling to a glass floor[00:02:01]
Make a trampoline out of trapdoor[00:02:03]
On that gasoline when I was back poor[00:02:06]
Now they crafted out my dream underneath a tap floor[00:02:09]
Backpack battle-cat underground rap lore[00:02:12]
Anonymous but dominant - what's a Mac to a hacker[00:02:14]
In other words lyrical Zuckerbergs[00:02:17]
Pimp you may move a mouse but what's a rat to a cat store[00:02:20]
It's like a gig to an app store[00:02:23]
I rap Black history you can only see my past if you fast forward[00:02:25]
Now white people they can't say ni**a[00:02:29]
So I gotta take it back[00:02:35]
Now black people we're not niggas[00:02:40]
God made us better than that[00:02:47]
Black Panthers black anthems black blues[00:02:52]
With black answers for black stanzas: Langston Hughes[00:02:55]
Breaking rules ain't it cool [00:02:58]
Took it old and made it new[00:03:01]
Black painters musical black anger[00:03:03]
Black mothers beautiful black anchors[00:03:06]
So let's hear it for 'em Let's hear it for 'em [00:03:09]
Let's hear it for 'em Let's hear it for 'em [00:03:12]
Black America Trap America [00:03:15]
80s Babies Crack America [00:03:17]
Rap America Bad as Erykah [00:03:20]
From the era of family tearing up[00:03:23]
But we just won big can't be undid[00:03:26]
Form a whole culture in just one kid[00:03:29]
Miami d**e boys Oakland militants[00:03:32]
Harlem Renaissance it's our deliverance[00:03:35]
Now white people they can't say ni**a[00:03:37]
So I gotta take it back[00:03:44]
Now black people we're not niggas[00:03:48]
God made us better than that[00:03:55]
