Sometimes I Rap Lyrics by Raina Simone

0

All my people Black, so stop asking me why I'm light skinned
My great, great grandma was prolly raped by the white man
And then the white man went and left his children fatherless
Gave the stereotype to the Black man just to escape his cowardice

Middle school jokes about Black kids being fatherless
Desensitizes to the fact that they were taken by the government
Ay, 414 whеre my stomachs been
In my grandma's basement with my cousins, counting monеy, steady dumbing it

And I ain't know my cousin was a dealer 'till my mama said
All I know is big cuz helped me down with the ice cream man
All I know is bug cuz feed the hood when they mamas can't
Economics manifesting in Ronald Reagan's contraband

Chasing that dirty money got him that Black discipline
Whoopin's derived from whippings learned from the white man
Great grandma went and got a twitch up off the branch
And we just wait until it's finished
Nigga we don't ever flinch

...

I never needed compliments to boost my confidence
I'm living opulent
[?]
Chasing this money damn near turned me Communist
