Things You Could Die For If Doing While Black Lyrics by Mick Jenkins

Elephant In the Room

2021

[Intro: Mick Jenkins]
I just wanna smoke my weed
I just wanna love my girl

[Chorus: Mick Jenkins]
I just wanna smoke my weed
I just wanna love my girl
I just wanna praise my God
I just wanna sell my loose cigarettes, nigga
I just wanna do my job

[Verse: Mick Jenkins]
Might wanna go for a jog
Might wanna sleep in my car
Might wanna sleep in my bed
Make me wanna bear my arms
Make me want the police dead
I really just want respect
Just wanna drank my drank
I just wanna fuck wit' my friends
I might wanna stack my ends
I wanna cross the street
I just wanna speed one time
I wanna do V.I.P. one time
I just wanna speak my mind
I just wanna post my bail
I ain't even do the crime
I just wanna make mistakes
Might wanna ask a question
Might call the police for protection
Might wan' protect myself
I just wan' help myself
I might need meds myself
Just wan' caretaker to tell you I'm sick
If I can't take care of myself

[Bridge: Mick Jenkins]
I just wanna live my life
(Let me stay Black and die)
I just wanna live my life
I just wanna live my life

[Chorus: Mick Jenkins]
I just wanna smoke my weed
I just wanna love my girl
I just wanna praise my God
I just wanna sell my loose cigarettes, nigga
I just wanna do my job
I just wanna live my life

[Outro: Ben Hixon & Mick Jenkins]
I just wanna smoke my weed and love my girl
Just wanna meditate and mind my business
Just wanna link up with the fam, I will
Wanna live my life, baby
Wanna live my life
Wanna hit the pool
Wanna hit the ice
Wanna jump the broom
Wanna throw a little rice
Wouldn't that be nice?
I just wanna smoke my weed and love my girl
