This Village

We kings, we queens, our tribe is a village
Black and brown still alive after the pillage
Head up, never down, your crown is an image
Bask in the glow, survivors, and winners
We kings,  we queens,  our tribe is a village
Black and brown still alive after the pillage
Head up, never down, your crown is an image
Bask in the glow, survivors, and winners

Pacified by the passers-by, absent-minded
Path of God, the road map
Perhaps I'll find it
Unlearn, relearn, then the realignment
Forty yеars a slave
Wonder where the time went
Got supply for demand, wholesale consignment
Redesignin' the brand
Prevail or fail assignment
Plus and minus signs is on my side this time
With motivation to move mountains
No need to climb it
Any climate versus meteor or comet
Media comments, my vocal bomb atomic
Full deck, inspect
Intellect in retrospective
Really mind if I'm not in your GOAT convo
Vocal flow toe to toe, tag a foe, John Doe
You ain't Tariq Trotter, Ghost, or Nasir
You pale in comparison long as I'm here, yo
Celebrate them here now, not the year after
Tellin' loved ones you care
That's the fear factor
Pile of income and lump sums, I'm after
Residuals in these interwoven intervals
Intramural lab relays
My raps require replays
Tell referees be fair, let me rephrase
You official be official, not a issue
God is with you, we love it, gems be crystal
Clear, unless they in one and
Then out the other
Gotta believe before I doubt my brother
Gotta heal before we kill each other
The hunger inside gon' suffer
Can't hate, that's the new love
Scratch that ass below rise, two above
Backpack full of goodies for the kiddies
The kiddies love the goodies
Crown under hoodies

We kings, we queens, our tribe is a village
Black and brown still alive after the pillage
Head up, never down, your crown is an image
Bask in the glow, survivors, and winners

Survivors, yo, we winners, yo
We kings and queens keep your crown up high
Keep your crown up high
