lyrics

Racist in my comment section, tell that Ritz to get a grip
Money up like limbo since the government took back a grip
Taxes in a different bracket two times since corona hit
Two five figure salaries ain’t adding up to ownership
Figure four, cops steady tailing me while I’m in the whip
Want a brother tapping under pressure hoping I’ll submit
Never call it quits, flip this pressure to our benefit
Profit off oppression and then give the block a proper split
Double double couldn’t be the wave, sipping darker truths
Gladiator are you entertained when we in the booth
Penning like I’m Coogler every song a movie I’mma shoot
Bring along my little homies kicking game back to the youth
Sisters know I love ‘em from Caribbean to Continent
Treat em competent with the time and with the dollars spent
Melanin swallowing the light love my darker skin
Darkness heaven sent you earthbound if I get bent

Ain’t no messing round, double down fore I double back
My circle is small one way out like a coul-de-sac
More than just my coffee black, More than just my coffee black
More than just my coffee black, More than just my coffee black
Lady and my baby and my politic and youngins that
That’s the way the vision goes as soon as I hop on a track
More than just my coffee black, More than just my coffee black
More than just my coffee black, More than just my coffee black
More than just the night is dark, more than just the lighter spark
They ain’t talking cardiac when telling me that I got heart
More than just my coffee black, More than just my coffee black
More than just my coffee black, More than just my coffee black
More than just my coffee Black, even if the DJ white
Practice what we preach, cleaner conscience lets me sleep at night
More than just my coffee black, More than just my coffee black
More than just my coffee black, More than just my coffee black
