Head on a swivel so them boys can't trap you SIM card gone so the state can't track you Keep ya mouth shut just in case they catch you Crackers go to war over goddamn statues Head on a swivel so them boys can't trap you SIM card gone so the state can't track you Keep ya mouth shut just in case they catch you Crackers go to war over goddamn statues Symbols matter to them more than all our Black lives Thank God I figured it out when I was pint-sized Readin' all this history Shit ain't makin' sense to me 4 million slaves - but this the land of liberty? White folk write the laws They made our people criminals Scared to say "n*gger" But "thug" is just subliminal Called our music Urban as a form of segregation When they have the nerve to promote these imitations! They worship false idols Got no reverence for slaveowners Said "It's not about race" but we at Daytona! They proud of wavin' that flag but we can't kneel tho You wave the the flag of a traitor - are you for real, bro? I'm a true American and racists gotta live with that Centuries of labor and they don't wanna give it back The culture and the future black You hate it that is just a fact You mad cause we don't finish last You brought us, you can't send us back Head on a swivel so them boys can't trap you SIM card gone so the state can't track you Keep ya mouth shut just in case they catch you Crackers go to war over goddamn statues Head on a swivel so them boys can't trap you SIM card gone so the state can't track you Keep ya mouth shut just in case they catch you Crackers go to war over goddamn statues George Washington had bad oral hygiene Y'all first president was just a dirty white man Pan left to King Shaka standing in diamonds In top shape him and his tribesmen It don't take Sherlock to see he's a fictional wise man Based off the genius from the brothers with my skin Why then if statues should perpetuate honor There's dishonored men carved by dishonored sculptors In exodus 20: 4,5 is where it mentions You shall not make for yourselves a carved image So not only are these fake heroes a facade You crackers are going against God YEA I know this verse hard Now if I do get a statue of me On a university lawn in 2083 I need gold at the head Silver at the chest Brass at the waist Iron at the legs to the base Head on a swivel so them boys can't trap you SIM card gone so the state can't track you Keep ya mouth shut just in case they catch you Crackers go to war over goddamn statues Head on a swivel so them boys can't trap you SIM card gone so the state can't track you Keep ya mouth shut just in case they catch you Crackers go to war over goddamn statues
