lirik lagu reggie rude - black identity
(chorus)
i never said poor me, i always pull through with hope
i just take what i need, you can’t box me through the ropes
reggie take by force, so start talking what you know
you might got what i need, i peep you through my scope
what’s popping to my bloods? what’s cracking with my locs?
they want our days to see an end
but we got more to go
reggie take by force, so start talking what you know
you might got what i need, i peep you through my scope
(verse 1)
ya gotta let me breathe
my actions got syntax
like i can explain what i mean by that
if your membrane can embrace the fact
being black in america is almost sin where we live at
where we live at is the mosh pit of experiments that we enact
the games over, young a.i. when i step the flow up
shake false gods cause they didn’t know us
as smooth as ja rule when i cross over
thats the brilliance i hint about
i never bite my tongue for who i care about
cause i got the will to air sh-t out
imma word smith and thats word to mouth
(verse 2)
f-ck is you telling me? i know the man isn’t feeling me
trying erase my whole my pedigree
but i have to breathe, cause i’m the truth and they needing me
and im in love with my melanin
cops wanna get me in, they see me they see me
im hiding my chain cause it’s gold and they greedy
they pull up and hop out to stop what they seeing
my brother want me and he -pop-, now i’m bleeding
i was so focused on eyeing my idol
that i ain’t realize that i play suicidal
my brother was jealous he took what i covet
and now he running from the life he in love with
try to understand i love all my brothers but i will pop back if i, ooo, i don’t wanna
but i will hurt you
we adopted our oppressors vices, but none of they virtues
we worst too
(chorus)
i never said poor me, i always pull through with hope
(talk about it they hurt you)
i just take what i need, you can’t box me through the ropes
(and now we full circle)
reggie take by force, so start talking what you know
you might got what i need, i peep you through my scope
what’s popping to my bloods, what’s cracking with my locs
they want our days to see an end
but we got more to go
reggie take by force, so start talking what you know
you might got what i need, i peep you through my scope
(woman outro)
ok, so its starting to sound like betrayal and the perception of your own strength, be it physical or mental, are two sensitive topics for you. maybe we should expand on that a bit? what was it like growing up where you’re from?
