7 Feet Bearing strange fruits Blood on the leaves And blood at the root Check So bleed Emit like rap or emit teal I drew a line without showing my body, that's a skill Bad to the bone and the grill You'd be dead wrong if looks kill I'm still on my spiel in the spirit of El Hill Eye on the sparrow, nose like a pharaoh's I bloodline trio for the young and all the lills We all gon' get mills Talk a lot of game but we get paid too Like Jameel was raised upon a hill The valley's a sunken place I'm just trying to build like I came with some kettle weight Know I'm a god MC cause nigga, I made the devil wait Boy I brought hell, you ain't gotta tell me I'm hella great I don't speak on it nowadays, I just meditate Y'all can have the bars nigga, I spit hard metal gates Henry Louis Gates when I cop me some new estate Make room for myself, I'm in a way different mental place I keep it real, all y'all look anime I'm fine like anime Black don't crack like Angela Black and brave like N.A. It don't come with apologies Let's just tip and some Andre When you greet me it's namaste Spread love the Brooklyn way or like marmalade No matter if you street street or more like the promenade We gotta come together like the corn in the dookie braise For the present and future days I say what I gotta say I am Nina and Roberta The one you love but ain't heard of Got my middle finger up like Pac after attempted murder Failed to kill me and steal me Woke up singing Shirley Murdoch As we lay these edges down Brown women we so perfect Went from feel nigga to steal nigga Being cropped out the picture But we all know we got the juice My sisters imitating us in all the Hollywood pictures And still they'll never beat us Nigga, nigga From the backwoods where Nina would Sing about the life we should Lead a new dawn, another deed I tried to do some good I felt more damn than Mississippi was They denied Nina in Philadelphia And still we persevere Like all the 400 years of our own blood Africa, old panthers looking back like Who gon' come up after us Outside the movies I make sure Before it move you, it move me Now bow down to a queen please Survivor Here's to the honey in you To the bittersweet in me I've shed this blood so romantically So viciously quiet Here's to a moment of silence I've poured and poured my soul again Here's to epiphanies There was never a we There was you all And there was me in this war Likely to succeed, unlikely to surrender Trying and dying to breathe poetry To rise in the light of day To subconsciously exist cautiously Ascending towards freedom Praying for a breather Do you see my pain? Do I seem like prey? Empathy be the reason you're still standing We are not the same I've lived more lives than you I have less pride than you I'm extraterrestrial I was created different I've been here many times before And I've never been defeated And still I will never be defeated I'm bound to rock I believe I'm bound to rock I believe I'm bound to rock I believe
