Reality Check ft. Eryn Allen Kane & Akenya Lyrics

Reality Check ft. Eryn Allen Kane & Akenya - Noname

...

Opportunity knockin

A nigga was out for coffee

Inadequate like my window

The Grammy's is way too lofty

And I could stay here forever

I could die here

I don't have to try here

Can I get my two sugars please?

Jesus made an album

I'm still waiting in the line for cream

She dream in techni-color

Live black and white

Opportunity knockin

A nigga just got her nails done

Skeletons in my closet gone open the door when Yale come

They ain't gonna wanna see my silhouette rap

He's fucking cognac

My smile in all black

Mississippi vagabond

Granny gone turn up in her grave

And say, my granny really was a slave for this

All your uncompleted similes and pages ripped

You know they whipped us niggas

How you afraid to rap it

You went to heaven after so we could free them now

Ain't no ocean floor when you can be a yeezus now

Don't fear the light

That dwells deep within

You are powerful

Beyond what you imagine

Just let your light glow

Seventeen moments and cloudy days on my snap

Mysterious aberration, illuminated the trap

My telefone-calications synonymous with the sunrise

Mountains against the foreground forever me coming back

I ain't gonna cry

The last time Ali marched Chicago

Twenty four and a late mojo teaching me how to drive

Whole world inside my rear view

This feel in me so alive

This feel in me so alive

Enjoy the joyride

Opportunity knockin'

It's finally time to answer

The doorbell was only broken cause auntie was fighting cancer

Cigarettes on my mantle keep callin me by my first name

Loving me when I'm lonely

Pretending they really Noname

Don't fear the light

That dwells deep within

You are powerful

Beyond what you imagine

Just let your light glow

And when that call comes

(You better)

You better say hello

No hesitation

(you better)

No hiding, deep down below

(you better)

No beg your pardon

(you better)

You better stay and grow

Your liberation

(you better)

For your lonely soul

You'll be on your own
