Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My momma was raised in an era when
Clean water was only served to the fairer skin
Doing clothes you would have thought I had help
But they wasn't satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself
You see its broke ni**a racism
That's that "Don't touch anything in the store"
And this rich ni**a racism
That's that "Come here, please buy more"
What you want, a Bentley? Fur coat? A diamond chain?
All you blacks want all the same things
Used to only be ni**as now everybody plain
Spending everything on Alexander Wang
New Slaves

We used to be only ni**as

[Bridge x2]
You see it's leaders and there's followers
But I'd rather be a dick than a swallower

[:: VERSE 2 ::]
I throw these Maybach keys
I wear my heart on the sleeve
I know that we the new slaves
I see the blood on the leaves
I see the blood on the leaves
I see the blood on the leaves
I know that we the new slaves
I see the blood on the leaves
They throwing hate at me
Want me to stay at ease
F**k you and your corporation
Y'all ni**as can't control me
I know that we the new slaves
I know that we the new slaves
I'm about to wild the f**k out
I'm going Bobby Boucher
I know that pussy ain't free
You ni**as pussy, ain't me
Y'all throwing contracts at me
You know that ni**as can't read
Throw on some Maybach keys
F**k it, c'est la vie
I know that we the new slaves
Y'all ni**as can't f**k with me
Y'all ni**as can't f**k with Ye
Y'all ni**as can't f**k with Ye
I'll move my family out the country
So you can't see where I stay
So go and grab the reporters
So I can smash their recorders
See they'll confuse us with some bullshit like the New World Order
Meanwhile the DEA
Teamed up with the CCA
They tryna lock ni**as up
They tryna make new slaves
See that's that private owned prison
Get your piece today
Prolly all in the Hamptons
Braggin' 'bout their maid
F**k you and your Hampton house
I'll f**k your Hampton spouse
Came on her Hampton blouse
And in her Hampton mouth
Y'all 'bout to turn sh*t up
I'm 'bout to tear sh*t down
I'm 'bout to air sh*t out
Now what the f**k they gon' say now?

[Outro: Frank Ocean]
I can't get too high, get too high then
So long, so long, so long
Cannot find faith, [?] baby
I can't do it
I can't [?] another love and
I won't believe in the [?]
Think you can't get too high, get too high
Too high again
Too high
