Intro
[Unhhhh] I been, I been…
Verse
I been plotting and scheming
Clenched fist, chest beating
It’s not enough to be right
So I’m looking for reasons
Slapboxing with inner demons
Less focused up on the fleeting
Bringing my ancestors’ struggle
To a point of completion
Been modifying my defense
Outchea sewing and reaping
Cuz when the going gets tough
You won’t catch me reaching
Been prophesying and dreaming
Can’t let not one doubt creep in
I drop a couple of jewels
Never been much for preaching
You see my bobbin and weaving
Dodging the racist mistreatmеnt
Been taught manners and educated
Far from a hеathen
We celebrated and breathing
Buckjumping and gangsta leaning
Reflecting on our lives
To decipher its true meaning
People organizing and teaching
Signing petitions and meeting
Our minds were conditioned
Like dry scalps with a leave-in
Searched high and low for a beacon
Those Black eyed peas gave a feeling
If you couldn’t tell these are bars
Penned about freedom Ashé
Hook [Thelonius Kryptonite
Been through things that
You just couldn’t believe
But still claiming that we f-r-e-e-e
Same sh#t just a different century
Can’t wait till we get f-r-e-e-e
From trap houses to lap-of-luxury
That’s a form of being f-r-e-e-e
Traded our masters for a couple of degrees
Now that’s a way to be f-r-e-e-e
Verse Two
We moving onward and upward
Yeah that be the direction
Got lots of faith in my people
And I love they complexion
Display a wealth of emotions
But they rather aggression
Cannot distract from our mission
Of self-growth and investment
Drinking water, lining up chakras
That’s forms of protection
Studied the man in the mirror
Took some notes and reflection
Of the b#llsh#t you spew
Which keeps so many vexing
Although the blacker the berry
Never too old for a lesson
Stay developing strategies to
Keep the enemies guessing
There’s always strength in numbers
Just one way we flexin’
Can’t telegraph our moves
So we stopped tweeting and texting
Bolted past the competition
And gone in 60 seconds
Why you think we called ‘ninjas’
Cuz we lackin’ the detection
Our senses been sharpened
Peep out the perception
Cuz when you shining like this
It’s too hard neglect ’em
Had the North Star to follow
Always knew the direction
Hook
Been through things that
You just couldn’t believe
But still claiming that we f-r-e-e-e
Same sh#t just a different century
Can’t wait till we get f-r-e-e-e
From trap houses to lap-of-luxury
That’s a form of being f-r-e-e-e
Traded our masters for a couple of degrees
Now that’s a way to be f-r-e-e-e
