archie green - 40 acres lyrics

[intro: archie green]
40 acres and mule….
we don’t need you…

[verse 1: archie green]
now life wasn’t
all sugary sweet/
a life of lament
housed at east washington street/
chagrin falls
like any other suburb/
all good if you was white
if you was night it wasn’t right/
imagine being a token without knowing/
your friends feeling your hair
when it was growing/
like
“what you need a brush for?”/
this comin’ from the lineage of mt. rushmore/
oh, think you could make it n-gga?/
going to school with kids
who’s parents hated n-ggas/
like really hated n-ggas
not even fakin’ n-ggas/
turned down by daughters
cuz “moms don’t want me datin’ n-ggas”/
i know, it’s kinda hard ain’t it/
you livin’ life on a
canvas your parents painted/
to ya’ll
it looks like a monet/
but you know what
they say happy ain’t bought
with mo-ney/

[hook: archie green]
martin marched so we could walk/
malcolm fought so we could live/
we livin’ good and we not ashamed/
matter fact you can keep yo’ 40 acres mane’/
keep yo’ 40 acres mane’ (2x)

[verse 2: archie green]
remember
as a young kid growin’ up/
times never hard both my parents showin’ up/
sure as kids we had dreams of us blowin’ up/
but it was times that we thought
we wouldn’t blow enough/
another summer trip down to williamsburg/
virginia that is not that other hipster curb/
fresh off of
spring break up at oak bluffs/
that’s martha’s vine-yard up in new england bruh/
never knew what
it was like without lights/
took my pops beamer 745 to prom night/
i know you
thinkin’ this is the life/
but real talk n-gga this was my life/
no sellin caine
stray bullets never came/
i’m saying just cause i ain’t hood
don’t mean we ain’t the same/
our stories different
but our love for music never change/
i was dope without the dope
thankful i ain’t never been broke/

[verse 3: archie green]
shout out to ye for pavin the way/
where artists like drake be still gettin paid/
what if childish life was more violent/
and he never went college
would that validate his rhyming/
ab-soul…so cold/
never would you think his life growing up
was more controlled/
and wolf gang is just some spoiled rich n-ggas/
but you gotta give it up
cause they just don’t give a f-ck/
i did this song
not to brag/
but i’m sick
of all these broke n-ggas getting love for they swag/
ain’t have a silver spoon but i was blessed/
but it’s a d-mn shame i’m embarr-ssed to confess/
look…
some n-ggas live broke
but some n-ggas don’t/
some n-ggas sell dope
but some n-ggas won’t/
i’m not ashamed my life wasn’t filled with drama/
for that i’m thankful to god
my father and my mama, i’m honored/
