anye elite - ode to baldwin lyrics
*james balwin interview snippet*
chorus 2x:
it took a little while to get here
it took a whole lot to find me
i ain’t letting this go, no
i ain’t letting this go for nothing
verse 1:
hand me the phone long distance i’m calling
mlk, bayard rustin, and james baldwin
as i accept the baton i’d like to salute the fallen
all my dl dudes and closet queens your welcome dahling
but the revolution still won’t be televised
instead it’s going to be shared, commented, and liked
it’s sure to be a h-ll of a night
cause to know how to live means you must tbe ready to die
i know i know i’m wired differently
when explain you be like anye you too arrogant
like this sh-t just isn’t evident
you think im out here rapping for the h-ll of it
could’ve quit when it was clear ya’ll wasn’t ready yet
i could of got a 9-5 and settle there
but i’m not just a rapper and this ain’t just rhyming
i’m a jihadist and this is freedom fighting
chorus 2x:
it took a little while to get here
it took a whole lot to find me
i ain’t letting this go, no
i ain’t letting this go for nothing
verse 2:
would you rather be a menace or fetish?t
seems to be the only choice people like us is givin’
america!?!?!? who do you think kidding?
ian oddity to see myself as commodity
when you did that first!
before you write me off as one more angry black man
i like dude don’t you feel less threatened
what’s that? now you wanna be my best friend
want to cop some trees the west end
you girl asking me how fix your sew in
all them stereotypes gonna lead you to a dead end
hot dog don’t know nothin bout nathan
if you looking for truth you won’t find that in labels
if you looking for love then don’t be a hater
no faux homie that means no fakers
here’s the simple summation
real is the only road to greatness
chorus 4x:
it took a little while to get here
it took a whole lot to find me
i ain’t letting this go, no
i ain’t letting this go for nothing
