What does it mean to be free? My poor head...

This song is about caring in a world where it isn't appreciated and is perceived as a target for stepping on, trying to intimidate. Asking the question of why the world has been this way, I look to those who have colonized and sought to erase "otherness" from history. Being unafraid of death for what I stand for, because everything is going to be alright.

lyrics

Greatness takes its time
It ain’t worried what you think of it
When you walk with God
Everybody wants to link with it

It be y’all demise
When you take a shot at shrinking him
My will’s always mine
Got them tangled like Ms. Pinkett Smith

We can catch a vibe
With the violence and getting big
You should have pride
Individuals, distinctiveness.

Where we draw the line
When you switch because you’re envious
Fuck about effeminate
The shit is ridiculous.

This the flow that conquers colonists
And make them sink their ships
Some of us may die
But by the hands of cowards? Think of it

I’ll defend my honor
‘Cause these niggas really think they’re witty
I know they talk behind us
But copy us, tryna kick it with me

Anywhere I wander
Always making sure I keep it Philly
What the fuck’s Wakanda
A reminder they deleted history

Evil knows it’s time’s up
You see how Gen Z’s transitioning
Only way to climb is up
I rile them up they seek to kill me



Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
Tell me it’s gonna be

Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
Tell me it’s gonna be




God calls to his children
I’ve crawled to the altar
And I’ve longed to be with him

My heart’s all scarred
Still processing liquid
Scotch, vodka, I’m awful
Got the toilet out of commission

I’ve offered my gifts to them
They’re in awe at my difference
This is all after scoffing
‘Cause I’m not as into skin as them

I’m more for what’s within them
Take pause, this is intimate
You’re offended ‘cause you’ve
Taken part in resenting him

Who the fuck is he
Who the hell could he be
You can tell he ain’t of us
But he still seems to be free

Had a good time while it lasted
Is this the feeling of defeat?
I show I care so much
I make a nigga’s ego bleed

I’ve attempted to decrease
But it’s really all I know
When I took the lead
Everybody took from me at home

See what they did to me
How the fuck could I not feel alone
When I got it on my own
Really got it on my own.



Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
Tell me it’s gonna be

Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
Tell me it’s gonna be
