GIMME SPACE ! Lyrics

What's the next best thing to greatest

Star rose from pavement

Economic displacement

From bigmama basement

To world wide entertainment

& Standing ovations

Momma only 16 when she had lil greg

Where was her foundation

No soul salvation

For black girls

Only temptations

Degradation for melanin that birth the world

Stars align in constellation

Choose my fate but feel submerged in dirt

Of my forefathers sins

As the days go by I fall deep in the curse

Feeling like my life was the worst

I be dying of thirst

Tryna paint the picture perfect

Verse after Verse

Gimme space

Time

Slow the pace

For my mind

I was blind to the niggas saving face

Tryna get a piece of cake Anne Mae

Hard sustaining faith

Without grandma prayers everyday

Child's play through the hollow tips

Of getting in the way

EBT and bet no gourmet or hbo screenplay

Had a lot up of my plate my angels at the pearly gates

War between the mental state

When I fall in space

You don't come around no more

Nigga just give me space

Talk behind my back

Scared to say it face to face

Just in case

You out of place

Ain't got no time for no poker face

Get up out my way

We grown now

Fuck a race to first place

We all walk the same steps

Who's to say you got a different fate

Gimme space

Time

Slow the pace

For my mind
