idk young j. - motherland lyrics
[verse 1:]
1, 2, 3
i just want the best for my motherland, so open up the door for me
5 guys in 6 years beg the question
i been thinking bout the nation since a n+gga turned 7
n+ggas got ate when they stepped outta line
put some twists in your hair, might as well tote a 9
2022, i don’t mean to offend
but your mind still thinking like it’s 1910
hey, stop the count, the elections stay rigged
people apathetic so corruption stays big
politicians pay big, just to stay rich
then they bribe easy vics so they won’t say sh+t
this is basic, but the main trick
is convincing everybody that thеy can’t change sh+t
that’s what they did, mess with our minds so thеir money stays healthy while the sick remain sick ay
[interlude:]
officials of nigeria’s anti+corruption agency
uncovered big pile of cash
43 million us dollars stacked (?) neatly wrapped bundles
almost every filing cabinet, safe, and wardrobe in this apartment in lagos
was full of the notes
the government must get to the root
[verse 2:]
way back when, it was “god save the queen”
colonized and convinced “black” was a bad thing
hairstyles, culture, even our games
if your skin wasn’t light you would get called names
built implicit biases, that was their aim
if it meant we stayed oppressed, anything was fair game
they ain’t even have to give n0body cocaine
they just gave us self+hate and we’ve never been the same
came to spread religion, then they made us hate g+ys
then they used the h0m+phobia to demonize braids
look at all the toxic sh+t they turned men to
teaching us that being sh+tty is what straight men do
taught us how to focus on the sh+t that don’t matter
cuz if we remained scattered, then their pockets got fatter
how is our economy inverse to our wealth
sh+t ain’t hard to figure out, man, just think for yourself
you ain’t gotta look too deep to see the cracks
the motherland is still colonized, that’s facts
but it all relies on if you wanna stay dense
so look around and start to question things that don’t make sense
n+gga
[outro:]
idk what to tell yall bro
i’m simply just better than yall n+ggas
and i’m simply just more known than you n+ggas
get off my d+ck
