Intermission Lyrics

I come from apartment 1.J.

The real garden lake before they altered the estate

Then we moved to the north side

Just my mother and sister

Pops ain't have the time of day

He had a whole other family

So We didn't have a father figure

But I'm cool with that nigga

Just the three of us long with my grandmother

How my older sister gonna make my hands tougher

African ancestors I'm feel like a pharaoh

Sharp pain in my chest it feel like an arrow

My crown kinda crooked but I'm still on the throne

To make things right you gotta live with the wrong

It's still RBG I bleed red black green

You looking kinda lost you don't know what that means

Grab a book instead of being on the internet

Peace to Marcus Garvey and queen njinga yes

I'm tryna to be a real man

And all my goals I wanna speed up

Trying to be a realest nigga is like being a quickest turtle it don't mean much

Sitting back with a backwood just kicking back is just backwards

So is your packing your bag with some packs you had in the attic

As black men we gotta respect our own women

I think it's kinda sad the way some be acting is tragic

How you take the ones who raised us up and treated us

Always held us down when we starved kept feeding us

Turn our back and treat others like queens

Then look down on each others pipe dreams

Love don't have a color just don't hate birthplace

And remember who held you up in the first place

The foreign bitch is cool she provide good help

But the black one had you when you couldn't care for your self

You're a dumb nigga if you can't remember that

Don't know your own melanin that's really wack

You got no goals no dreams no plans

I'm in a realer state of mind think I sold land

I'm just tryna teach niggas knowledge of self

And if you get yourself in trouble don't be calling for help

Stand on your own two you supposed to

The good times special because the bad we go through

We been through so much for so long

We so strong let's love each other how we used to do

It's not unusual

Wake up and realize Black is beautiful
