The hills have eyes and the walls have ears
And the iPhone got your fingerprint
Gold drips from my fingertips
Government got my fingers bent
I took the knife out my back
Who stabbed ya?
Republicans and Democrats
Criminals with the badge
I see my face on the TV
Not a human, I'm Black
Took everything I am
Fuck 'em all, I got cash
But here's a twist to the story
My Aaliyah just crashed
I was so busy fighting against the power
Mona Lisa got cracked
The Y chromosome is ass
Killing everything in path
Niggas think they get a pass
'Cause they read a book
And they wrote a status
"Good job"
I was fighting the power until I became
The power that someone was fighting against

I hold the weight now
Throwing it out, no it aint sound
I hold the weight now
Throwing it out, no it aint sound
Baby boys, why you gotta (why you gotta) be so insecure?
Insecure, insecure, insecure
Baby girls (baby, baby, baby girls)
Sorry that you (sorry that you) gotta be paranoid
Paranoid, paranoid
Ain't boxing bag, ain't the rag used for floors
Ain't the bitch and the store
You can't pull from me
Ain't gon' wait around for an epiphany
The bitter sweet of caring for the kerosene
Blowing up, embarrassing
Don't ask me for shit, if you ain't doing shit for me
Set your pupils to the third degree
I need blessings in my hand
An offering
Bandstand saying sorry
Ain't enough jewels for me
Why the home lookin' bleak
