Black Lyrics by André, the Kid

Canvas

2018

Part I
[Intro: André, the Kid]
​You gon' come to me yeah
You gon' look me dead in my face
And you finna tell me that you plan on killing some ninjas
What the fuck, wait why are you lying for?
You ain't ever been about that life homie
What you lying for? What you stunting for?
Come say that to my face
[Verse I: André, the Kid]
Phone blasting, I ain't called you back
The walls closing round me, don't know how to react
Are you talking to me? As a matter of fact
I'mma keep it pushin', rhythm over demise
We the bulldog puppies so you know I'm red eyed
I am a young ninja going OG
Stuntin' in the game thinking that they know me
What you tryna do? You tryna run for the green?
Just to keep you standing on your own two feet
Young bodies mobbin' but they trippin' off the lean
Thinking they gon' step into the land of unseen
I'm am nothing but a peace kid
Soul is getting lighter but that dark has its times
It's times, rolling up getting in line
In line, they don't joke when it's bedtime
Bedtime, bounce back like your hairline
Hairline, that's South London for you
Morleys chicken or at home, we be cooking food
[Bridge: André, the Kid]
Young ninja rolling up the green
Tame Impala and some trap shit on the trampoline
We the Peasants, mo'sucker
Finna bang at your door
With some gold little vibes and the needs to explore
Like word? Young ninja rolling up the green
Tame Impala and some trap shit on the trampoline
We the Peasants, mo'sucker
Finna bang at your door
With some gold little vibes and the needs to explore
[Verse II: André, the Kid]
You want the bread so bad?
Tell me why your pockets ain't been talking loud but you smoking till the volume low
Might just crucify my sins then get back on the road cause
My third eye still got room to grow yuh
Yeah, yeah
Radioactive
Part II
[Verse I: André, the Kid]
The rhythm distorts the vision
A symbol of how we living
The role of the protagonist
Roam for what is given
My mind and insecurities
Find me something good to eat
I'll pig out on my thoughts tonight
Instead of snorting, I stay tryna find the highlight
And the light switch
My ego worried 'bout the deeper things
And while you sitting on your backside praising ninjas tryna get their bands straight
I'm standing here tryna relate
Relating to some, others still existing in my past life
Man, you really tryna fuck with the fake shit
Pardon me, I apologise
You can see the real thoughts right behind my eyes
They will say the same and you'll realise
We're so deep into a hole that we can climb right out of
That's why I wear this chain round my neck, on some scout bus
Part III
[Verse I: André, the Kid]
Maybe if I give it a day
Would I be here, sitting chilling
Just feeling some type of way
Maybe if I give it a day
Would my soul be out my body
Still residing the dock of the bay
So gon' tell me why
Just please tell me why
Why do stars and lights, they open the sky
So gon' tell me why
Bae please tell me why
Why my eyes, they go from brown to white
