Off White (feat. Stige)

Khris Richards, Matthew Rose

So tired of being doubted by all the skeptics
I'm so tired of being tired that i'm narcoleptic
All my messages in raps amount to sewer septics
It's full of shit that nobody had the heart to mess with
Don't be i'm destined, or fate
Never asked for power, don't need the S or the cape
My last name is a flower
You get a rose while you can still smell it since
I'm all up in this element telekinetic etiquettes
I'm making moves, uh
Play it cool, I refuse to play the fool
White manager, white friends, white boss, white fans
I don't need advice on being black from a white man
I can't, I stand, feet planted on a planet
Where this black means damaged but i'll manage
Don't sweat it, i wanna be rich, god damn it
Money seems to have our hearts at disadvantage
Fucking feeling stunted, while these people stunt in
Newest whip or newest something, but my cousin
Asking for a couple hundred got me feeling like a hero
Leaving my account like thirty below zero
Cause i'm looking like rags and i'm feeling tuxedos
I'm as rich as poor, as rich as poor
I'm as rich as poor, as rich as poor as the rest of them
As the rest of them
Yea, Matt, so check this out
So I went out, um, with this Italian girl
Ya know, bad, ya know, body bangin'
Ya what i'm sayin', big booty, beautiful
Ya know, i think we went out to Wynwood
We went to like, La Enya, um
Ya know, things were going smoothly
Ya know what I'm sayin'
Wine, laughter, all that
And then umm, ahh
Deep down, you always feel like
"Italian... hm, is there some underlying racism happening here?"
But ya know, you don't wanna
cross that boat on the first date
So, she got drunk enough to tell me that um
She thinks all black woman are, like you know
Fake eyelashes, these are her words, umm
Fake hair, weave, ya know, low class, so I'm like
We got into a little bit of it because I'm like
Yo, so what my mom is like that?
Is that what you're tryna
Ya know what i'm sayin'
What does this do, like
What are we trying to say here
And like, got into it for a little bit
But I was like, you know what
Maybe she's just ignorant
She's from Naples, ya know
Italy, like literally from there
She's just here on a visa or whatever
Anyways, we keep going, night goes on
Go to a diner, kick it for a while, umm
I go back to her place, we start messing around
Start doing things, ya know
That's still in the back of my mind but, ya know
She's fine, did I mention, did I mention
Anyways, umm, yea she umm
As we're in the middle of everything
Like she's kissing on my neck and she's like
Ya know, I like you, you don't have the black guy smell
I stopped, I said
What do you mean by that
What do you mean black guy smell
Like what do you mean
What does that mean
She's like yea, all black guys have a smell, ya know
And like, I was like, what
I picked my stuff up
I literally left mid quidditch
You know what i'm saying like
Like, I was like, my ancestor would not approve of me continuing this, ya know
I just, I had to just leave it, you feel me
And umm, ya know, And then I was like
She's like, what's wrong
And I was just like, I was like, ya know
I just really don't like the white girl smell
And she was like, white people don't have smell
White people
And that just cemented it for me
Ya know what i'm saying, so I left
I left, and honestly, i just, i just don't get it
I just don't get how you have the bravery to say something like that and
It's something that you actually believe, you know, but, whatever
