Snow On Tha Bluff

Niggas be thinkin' I'm deep,
intelligent, fooled by my college degree
My IQ is average,
there's a young lady out there,
she way smarter than me
I scrolled through her timeline
in these wild times,
and I?started?to?read
She mad at?these crackers,
she?mad at these capitalists,
mad at these murder police
She mad at my niggas,
she mad at our ignorance,
she wear her heart on her sleeve
She mad at the celebrities,
lowkey I be thinkin' she talkin' 'bout me
Now I ain't no dummy to think
I'm above criticism
So when I see something that's valid, I listen
But shit, it's something
about the queen tone that's botherin' me
She strike me as somebody blessed
enough to grow up in conscious
environment
With parents that know 'bout the struggle
for liberation and in turn
they provide her with
A perspective and awareness of the
system and unfairness that afflicts 'em
And the clearest understandin' of
what we gotta do to get free
And the frustration that fills
her words seems to come
from the fact that most people don't see
Just 'cause you woke and I'm not,
that shit ain't no reason to talk like you
better than me
How you gon' lead,
when you attackin' the very same niggas
that really do need the shit that you sayin'?
Instead of conveyin' you holier,
come help us get up to speed
Shit, it's a reason it took like
two hundred years for our ancestors
just to get freed
These shackles be lockin' the mental way
more than the physical
I look at freedom like trees,
can't grow a forest like overnight
Hit the ghetto and
slowly start plantin' your seeds
Fuck is the point of you preaching your
message to those that already
believe what you believe?
I'm on some ＂Fuck a retweet,＂
most people is sheep
You got all the answers
but how you gon' reach?
If I could make one more
suggestion respectfully
I would say it's more effective to
treat people like children
Understandin' the time and
love and patience that's needed to grow
This change is inevitable,
but ain't none of us seen this before
Therefore,
we just gotta learn everything as we go
I struggle with thoughts on the daily
Feel like a slave that somehow
done saved enough coins to
buy his way up outta slavery
Thinkin' just maybe,
in my pursuit to make life
so much better for me and my babies
I done betrayed the very
same people that look at me
like I'm some kind of a hero
Because of the zeros
that's next to the commas
But look here,
I promise I'm not who you think
Ran into this nigga outside of the store
yesterday
He said something that had me like, ＂Wait＂
He was like, ＂Cole,
'preciate what you been doin',
my nigga, that's real＂
But damn, why I feel faker than
Snow on tha Bluff?
Well, maybe 'cause deep down
I know I ain't doin' enough

The sun is shinin' today
The sun is shinin' today
The sun is shinin' today

Can you walk with me?
I hope we'll find the reason why
we often sob, go on, cry
Painful memories fuck up the vibe
Though I be tryin' to
let the time heal my mind
I was once a child,
I've gotten older
Still, I know I'm just a boy in God's eyes
Fill me up with wisdom and some courage
Plus endurance to survive,
help mine thrive
