lirik lagu kory – negus
[hook]
look at my skin ain’t it gold
look at my kin ain’t we goals
12 tryna turn all em into ghosts
we just tryna make the most
[verse 1]
out the little that we got, living stories different plots
ducking potholes on the blocks, pray on day we don’t get shot
by the way you pat me down, i can tell you’d rather not
see a negus smile
pull me over and tellin’ me to settle down
persecuted cause my skin is brown
and got every body frantic now
see i figured what’s worse than a negus is a pig in a badge
what’s hurting my negus is what’s made to keep us from that
and to serve and protect out here hurt and neglect
and this might not get airplay, but it’s coming from the chest
like a negus popped a lung, you can plead the 5th for days
but the truth cannot be shunned
you can tell me it’s okay, but my uncle in that grave
my papa slang that pack, them bills wasn’t paid
and you couldn’t help with that
so yeah we still smile
no matter how much you negus try to break us down
[hook 2x]
look at my skin ain’t it gold
look at my kin ain’t we goals
popo tryna turn us into ghosts
we just tryna make the most
[verse 2]
i mean look at my brother, i mean look at my sister
look at my mother, my father hung in that system
they try to meek us by day, beat us by night
they say life has it’s pain, i mean unless you be white
but they ain’t seen our skin, they must not have heard
about this kinky hair and them cocoa curves
for the culture, something they never had
like melanin, or a golden laugh
and while they applied pressure to make it hard
we just persevere and modestly p-ss em off
my number one fear is probably getting lost
in all of the love our women got
but we overlook cause our minds be in a box
and these cells too packed
living h-ll just facts
can’t prevail, that’s whack
tell yah self push back
came from gutter, and now we flutter in gold
and since they never seen, just let em know
[hook 2x]
look at my skin ain’t it gold
look at my kin ain’t we goals
popo turn em into ghosts
we just tryna make the most
