[00:00.38]
[00:00.88] Ooh, I want it, yeah
[00:05.11] Whenever you need my hand
[00:08.15] I'll hold you down, oh
[00:11.64] Ooh, you want it, yeah
[00:16.74] Why in the **** these niggas
[00:19.35] Tryin' to hold me down, oh
[00:23.51] You such a ****in' lame
[00:25.43] It's what they used to yell back in seventh grade
[00:28.03] My momma said she'd get me that new jacket when the cost go down
[00:31.38] Hit the office,
[00:32.39] Stole some Tommy Hill from lost and found
[00:34.38] Not bad for a family of foster child
[00:37.07] Lookin' fly man, I'm flossin' now
[00:38.82] But them niggas saw through me
[00:40.96] Are you serious? What is this?
[00:42.20] Took the jacket off third period, ellipsis
[00:44.92] Listening to "Sky is the Limit" on my Walkman
[00:47.73] Thinking if Biggie can make it through it,
[00:50.18] Man then I can
[00:51.07] Dope-boy swag
[00:52.33] I always wanted that
[00:53.63] But my persona was always more of that Arthur Ashe
[00:56.09] But no love for the son of a commuter
[00:58.83] Who was a radio head and okay at them computers
[01:01.97] At the post office
[01:02.82] It's funny how you smoke niggas then you start coffins
[01:05.50] All my people need throat lozenge
[01:07.46] My fear is dead
[01:09.02] Ambition drove the hearse
[01:10.56] But niggas got me feelin'
[01:11.47] I ain't black enough to go to church
[01:12.86] Culture shock at barber shops cause I ain't hood enough
[01:16.09] We all look the same to the cops,
[01:17.65] Ain't that good enough?
[01:19.15] The black experience is Black and serious
[01:21.15] Cause being black, my experience, is no one hearin' us
[01:23.84] White kids get to wear whatever hat they want
[01:26.34] When it comes to black kids one size fits all
[01:29.84] Ooh, I want it, yeah
[01:35.69] Whenever you need my hand
[01:38.33] I'll hold you down, oh
[01:41.67] Ooh, you want it, yeah
[01:46.67] Why in the **** these niggas
[01:49.37] Tryin' to hold me down, oh
[01:52.98] We the baddest nigga, we the baddest nigga
[01:58.51] You hear me?
[02:00.01] We the baddest nigga, we the baddest nigga
[02:03.80] We the baddest nigga, we the baddest
[02:16.09] The reason that they say:
[02:17.30] I'm nothin' what they seen or heard's
[02:18.59] The same reason Will Smith always opposite Latino girls
[02:21.04] They only see you how they wanna see you
[02:23.20] 'Til you make them see you in some other way
[02:25.14] I'm trippin' off the other day
[02:26.69] Cause God knows what these white kids say and do
[02:29.44] Dude you're not not racist cause
[02:31.10] The Wire's in your Netflix queue
[02:32.79] Subtle racism
[02:33.89] It's hard to pin it cause you'd only understand
[02:36.11] If you were me for just a minute
[02:37.76] This one kid said somethin' that was really bad
[02:40.79] He said I wasn't really black because I had a dad
[02:44.37] I think that's kinda sad
[02:47.08] Mostly cause a lot of black kids
[02:48.26] Think they should agree with that
[02:49.82] If you're a father, you should stick around if you could
[02:52.09] Cause even if you're bad at it, you get Tiger Woods
[02:55.05] Or MJ
[02:56.71] We warriors, we all need senseis
[02:59.06] Change everything that we've done so far
[03:02.41] I don't mean makin' B.E.T. T.E.R
[03:05.57] I mean just the way that we see each other
[03:08.07] I won't stop until they say,
[03:09.74] "James Franco is the white Donald Glover"
[03:11.78] Yeah, these niggas wanted Cookie but instead I gave 'em Loch Ness
[03:14.94] Sick Boi for life, my swag is in a hospice
[03:17.49] Aimin' for the throne, Jay and Ye said to watch that
[03:20.44] They ask me what I'm doin', I say I'm stealin' rock back
[03:22.98] Nigga
[03:24.53] Ooh, I want it, yeah
[03:29.01] Whenever you need my hand
[03:31.66] I'll hold you down, oh
[03:34.76] Ooh, you want it, yeah
[03:40.14] Why in the **** these niggas
[03:42.54] Tryin' to hold me down, oh
[03:46.32] Ooh, I want it, yeah
[03:51.03] Whenever you need my hand
[03:54.14] I'll hold you down, oh
[03:57.29] Ooh, you want it, yeah
[04:02.46] Why in the **** these niggas
[04:05.07] Tryin' to hold me down, oh
[04:09.12]
