Come get ya mans cause he's soundin like a cop lover
Won't connect you with the plug if you're undercover
Cloud Stokely - I'm stoked well with the thunder
Educated and childish - Donald Glover
Hit me uuupppp before you hit the rally
Black bodies stay fallin so we must keep a tally
Proud Boys wanna nail me in the alley
Another one lost just for lookin at a Sally
Found myself on another hit list
White men do shit and they still get they ass kissed
If they shoot, ask Ogun that they miss
I'm a Black person and I simply want to exist
This genocide been happenin
Now yall see?
I only hope the next hashtag ain't me
Radical ideology got basic bitches mad?
When I say ACAB, that includes your dad
1312 racist pigs make me sick
Karens walk mask-free so they're free to suck my dick
Now we simply must insist you avoid adding names to this ever-growing list
People wonder why I rant, I'm an angry bitch
I got a list full of grievances
Grew up in the church, made the choice to be a whore
Got a different explanation why my knees be sore
They enslaved us and made us abandon our lore
Now I'm reclaiming ancestral magic from before
What you evangelizing for?
My orisha got my back; I don't need nothin more
Anti-Capitalist
Imma divorce Uncle Tom
If you think you can build with the master's tools, you're wrong
We type "Say Her Name"
It ain't enough to take our lives?
And there's no accountability when one of us dies?
They be searchin on google for records of their crimes
Any excuse to silence Black people's angry cries
It's a utopia, for real, if you're white or can pass
Mold yourself enough to fit inside the paper bag
That melanin be keepin us from gettin the bag
It's hella sad

(Chorus)
criss cross applesauce
I'm great
Your loss
Romaine
Salad toss
My boo like, "fuck the cops"
Too lazy; Didn't read
Leave the table 'fore you sneeze
Mind your Q's and your P's
Puff it, Pass it
Thank you, Please
Beat so good gimme stank face
Throwin back shots like a A-K
No ass shots but my ass pop
Act like a mascot, dance around fast, real mad-like
He said I make him rise (That's great)
Can't socialize? (Masturbate)
I give great dome, plus I'm really fuckin fine
least you could do is take me out on a date
I like my wine just like my accessories: Sparkling
You're not my partner; why the fuck you stressin me, darling?
He trynna leave me seeded up like sesame; Charming
Now he lookin at me like this shit is destiny; Hardly
I can't stand a nigga who don't message me back
Even though I do the same and I know that it's whack
Big explosion in his brain when I tickle the sack
All you niggas is the same
Is that fiction or fact?
(Chorus)
criss cross applesauce
I'm great
Your loss
Romaine
Salad toss
My boo like, "fuck the cops"
Too lazy; Didn't read
Leave the table 'fore you sneeze
Mind your Q's and your P's
Puff it, Pass it
Thank you, Please
Witches in the Spring
May Day
Flowers start to sing
Beltane
Pickin up bills like rake rake
Antifa? Okay!
That's my crew
Gang Gang
Please don't shoot
Bang Bang
She came through
Play Date
Eat some shrooms
Star Gaze
Wish Miss Rona would drop dead already
So I could get some head already
Sweatin, breathin hot and heavy
Than we watch Ed, Edd & Eddy
Loving me is temporary
Unless you know the deal already
Fuckboy antics
Hit me up after February
White folks be waitin for the invite to the cookout
Most of yall are potluck attendees at best
Bout to rob this WalMart
Down to be the lookout?
Bitches lookin trendy in a bulletproof vest
(Chorus)
criss cross applesauce
I'm great
Your loss
Romaine
Salad toss
My boo like, "fuck the cops"
Too lazy; Didn't read
Leave the table 'fore you sneeze
Mind your Q's and your P's
Puff it, Pass it
Thank you, Please

flex song

(Chorus)
Don't got a whole lotta money
But you know I still stay surrounded by hunnies
I'm lookin for that motherfuckin sale price
Large sweet tea
Light ice
I'm cool and I'm Black like Frozone
Well-meaning billionaires sparse like the ozone
Cartoon socks, but I got a whole set though
Gotta clear out
Heard this a No Flex Zone
Issa Lawrence
Insecure cause I can't pronounce designer labels
Black is King, but I can't afford a seat at the table
Poor people aren't allowed to save up
They kick 'em out the program when they start collectin paper
And Black billionaires supposedly is 'post to save us
They churnin out cash money flex songs to shame us
And that's no shade on your talent and your work ethic
Rich people can't be trusted, even the young and ethnic
What's the optics of your ethics?
These yes men got niggas runnin 'round lookin nekkid
Can't afford to change the world, so I'll sit and play some Tekken
No-No to logos cause it's me I be reppin
I wanna hear more rap from people that are still poor
The glamorization of wealth is gettin tired
Yo I'm bored
We got Hood Dreams and we need inspiration, of course
But excess wealth has no place on my manifestation board
(Chorus)
Don't got a whole lotta money
But you know I still stay surrounded by hunnies
I'm lookin for that motherfuckin sale price
Large sweet tea
Light ice
I'm cool and I'm Black like Frozone
Well-meaning billionaires sparse like the ozone
Cartoon socks, but I got a whole set though
Gotta clear out
Heard this a No Flex Zone
Purpose is elusive in the end of days
I hope we find it anyway
May each day bring opportunity, reflection, and growth
Nuts and fruits and coffee
I know that you got me
Shout out to you and all you do and every time you spot me
Money in my bag?
What's the Venmo tag?
They keep saying, "cancel culture's gone too far"
'cause they can't really seem to tell two things apart
Like colloquial open-forum discourse on ethics and systemic institutions
I mean, I guess
I'm not lookin for a letter on my chest
Something to say I'm better than the rest
Simply wanna do my part and invest in the colorful world that comes next
My commitment to that vision is my flex
Imagine technology
Disease immunity
The things we could accomplish if life were not a commodity
Human suffering would be systemic oddity
'cause that shit's outdated like lobotomy
I take joy in witnessing dismantling of white supremacy
Our time is now and I believe that within all of me
Caring less about the legions that could follow me
And more about the boot on top of me
(outro)
No I don't want riches
Just my fuckin bitches
And you can't control me
You could never own me
if I sell my labor
just for scraps of paper
then i sell my body
I am the commodity

(Hook)
Aunty Badu: imma listen to you
Rollin a Swisher with my witch's brew
Incense
Senses
This shit is intense
Sacred pigment: red and blue
Hope you like the offerings I left for you
Divination keep me in tune
We just spicin the rue
Seen it a million times
Momo at the oven pullin hot potatoes out
Hands need no coverin
Strong and mystical
She and her sisters rep no coven
Standin at the stove
Black Mama start to summon
Mama, please gimme somethin
She cussed my ass out anytime she heard me cussin
Wouldn't dare roll my eyes when she started fussin
She could be mean when she was mad, but she loved me, and that wasn't nothin
We all got altars
But not all of us got absent fathers
I mean, I do
Say a prayer, dip my fingers into salted water
From my hair to my recipes
My Blackness, it reuses me
Soft spot
Wholesome thoughts
Cooking in the gumbo pot
Come and get it while it's hot
Kick it at my family's spot
Years of wisdom trickle down
Painted like a clown
Tears on my face
It's mad evident
I'm neither hell nor heaven sent
Just trynna stay relevant
At least I'm mad eloquent
Wavy vibes
Look into my eyes
I'm from the Moon
I make waves when I cry
I can't hear your thoughts, but I know what's on your mind
My face makes journeys; It ain't hard to see mine
My worldly vision don't afford me much
But I can see the things that I touch
(Hook)
Aunty Badu: imma listen to you
Rollin a Swisher with my witch's brew
Incense
Senses
This shit is intense
Sacred pigment: red and blue
Hope you like the offerings I left for you
Divination keep me in tune
We just spicin the rue
I just be in the mood to be feelin mad ethereal, you feel me>?
