Drivin' like I don't got any windows
I grew my hair this long to feel the wind blow
Only thing that's tinted is my skin tone
Darker than a mocha cup of kinfolk
I just bought myself a new Nintendo
Just to play myself, not many friends, no
Feelin' like my life been in a limbo
Yeah
I set my pride aside and finally copped a new whip
I drove my last three hundred thousand and the door had a dent
I got a push to start, it's dope, but, damn, that cost me a grip
I kept my arm but gave my leg, and now I walk with a limp
But that's adulthood, ridin' 'round my city in my old hood
If I wasn't sheltered, maybe I'd be up to no good
I'm glad that I don't have to go to school in the fall
But somehow I still ended up grippin' the mic and the ball
And I can handle both, so I don't give a damn about thе status quo
And I don't gotta end up hella rich for life to mattеr more
I'm workin' on myself and getting better than the man before
So I can show my daughters and my sons
They daddy was the G.O.A.T
Yeah
Drivin' like I don't got any windows
I grew my hair this long to feel the wind blow
Only thing that's tinted is my skin tone
Darker than a mocha cup of kinfolk
I just bought myself a new Nintendo
Just to play myself, not many friends, no
Feelin' like my life been in a limbo (Yeah)
Yeah
I just started drinking coffee, I'm a tea drinker
I done took these shackles off me, I'm a free thinker
Everything I learned in school was a lie
I wasted half of my life
So I can learn to work a nine to a five
But what it cost for me to feel more alive
And not just live, but to thrive?
Costs too much money just to keep on the lights
Or to consider taking trips, taking flights
It cost me half of my life
My only choice is go to school to survive
But, nah, forget that
I write a couple rhymes a couple times so we can flip that
And maybe make it big so we can build and we can sit back
And we can help the kids and teach division
We can give back
I already started, gotta get it where you live at
It's some whites that want me to die
They typin' replies, they hate to see a black man rise
And that America's no dream, it's a lie
'Cause first you gotta survive
Black Angel, I got wings, I can fly
Now watch a nigga go
I'm drivin' like I don't got any windows
I grew my hair this long to feel the wind blow
Only thing that's tinted is my skin tone
And I'm darker than a mocha cup of kinfolk
I just bought myself a new Nintendo
Just to play myself, not many friends, no
Feelin' like my life been in a limbo
(Like my life been in a)
(A-like my life been in a, yeah)
I said I'm drivin' like I don't got any windows
I grew my hair this long to feel the wind blow
Only thing that's tinted is my skin tone
And I'm darker than a mocha cup of kinfolk
Yeah, I just bought myself a new Nintendo, uh
Just to play myself, not many friends, no
Feelin' like my life been in a limbo, in a limbo
I'm drivin' like I don't got any windows
I grew my hair this long to feel the wind blow
Only thing that's tinted is my skin tone, yeah
