lyrics

40 mules 40 acres
Glass ceilings with some pay cuts
40 mules for the acres
Ima need my check in advance man
I'm invested in my best plan

Stoic
Man I tell you when I make it big it'll be
Historic
Spent all my life playing ball who'd thought I'd be
A poet
Nowadays niggas want hand outs looking like
Tyrannosaurus
Reptar
Reaching for the next odd number in their bank slot
Comatosing with the Holy Ghost
(Niggas to my left side, niggas to my left side)
All my niggas do the fucking most
(Women to my right side, women to my right side)
Everybody loves you when you winning
(You gonna cut the check right, gonna cut the check right)
If you miss the dot, watch em turn to ghost
(Pac man, pat down, pac man, pat down)

Yeah waka waka 'nother flock of birds
Chasing after dollars, we were from the burbs
Father always taught us how to be secure
Stems from his rough past I infer
Introverted but my verbal equal murder
Equal opportunist poppin' kernals
On the microwave or the stove
Cause the burners hot when your life inside the inner scope
Bublasaur, venusaur, new to the green
So niggas don't know how to spend it
Yeah
I promise when I finally get finally get the bag
I'll pay off my parent's pad
Fuck stereotypes I'll be specific
Black people need black business
We should own homes not rent em
But I can't pretend it's hard to get a loan
When they judging equity off appearance

40 mules for my acres
(I ain't looking for no handout, looking for no handout)
Black queens all I'm taking
(Yeah I'm feeling like the man now, feeling like the man now)
40 mules for my acres
(I ain't looking for no handout, looking for no handout)
Black Halo, Heaven save em

Yeah, Black Halo
21 looking kinda stable
I was 20 when they tried to spin a fable
That my homie and me had a gun in our jeans
It was a camera, taking a couple pictures from the bannister
Minding our business we were some amatuers
Instagram clout and Linkedin profiles what were aiming for
No doubt we heard a man shout "Put the gun on the ground"
And as we looked around, didn't see nobody
So we kept taking pics, there wasn't a problem
Until 2 sheriffs, 8 deputies, & I think the SWAT
Pulled up on the block with their guns hot
Shouting "Put your fucking hands in the air unless you wanna get shot"
So we stopped
And put our hands up
They proceeded to put us in fucking handcuffs
6 guns in my face as my knees interlace
Laying face to face on the asphault
As far as we knew, we headed to jail
Situation is bleak and I think I forgot to tell
That we had a couple drinks at the step show afterparty
I pray to God this cop don't smell no liquor on us
He was honest, said he got a call from someone
"2 black men and they armed with something
They pointed it at me so I started running"
Claimed some man who was on the corner
Right
Had no gun so they couldn't indict
Told us both have a wonderful night
(Right)
Looked at my nigga almost lost our lives
For a bullshit venomous lie
(Right)
Detained on the mothafuckin courthouse steps
The justice system's not on our side
(Rights)
Damn my nigga had an appetite
Glad McDonalds open late at night
We took a right & my nigga put the photo as his profile pic
But I didn't post it out of spite

My roommate and his dad were up when I walked in
But I told nobody about that night
Black Halo, the night I almost lost my life
Now let's rewind
