They throw shade on my name
I'm black, gold and I'm great
They try and silence our pain
But we talkin' (woo)

Yeah
Huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, whoa

Need no introductions
They know who we are
Big black man from Ghana
Step forward like Kwame Nkrumah
Who Jah bless, no man can curse
Woke up like goodness gracious
I still pray for freedom
Bro bro still got pending cases
Bad energy contagious
Miss me with it, I just like my space
Still no love for a pagan
Too much trust nearly got man snaked
Serpents move in circles, I keep mine the tightest
The wisest move in silence and this kick-back, Leonidas
Grew up in the dungeon, city run by tyrants
Had to keep it stepping 'cause this path we took was righteous
No problem burning bridges, I just call and push my lighter
Focus now, I'm fearless
Don't try me, try Jesus, serious

They be talkin', I be walkin'
Throw shade on my name, step with caution (woo)
You be stalkin' (me, me), I've been bossin' (true, true)
Scooped up to some more land 'cause I'm flossin'

Don't let me count to ten
One, two, ten, what you think?
Don't let me count to ten
One, two, ten, what you think?
Don't let me count to ten
One, two, ten, what you think?
Don't let me count to ten
One, two, ten

They still don't love me, I like it
Word to manga, I read that clearly
This ain't no red or the blue pill ting 
'Cause their agents can't get near me
My God got power steering
If he spin that wheel, I'll clear it
Focus now, I'm fearless
Don't try me, try Jesus
Serious, who wants smoke, I'm curious, hm?
Try but they can't get rid of us, no
This one here ain't essential, dawg
If I do my dart, I could burn my clothes
Didn't want to flex in a rental, dawg
Open doors, now I own my home
Still don't know why they hate so much
If they took some time, they could learn these flows
Wait (woo)

They be talkin', I be walkin'
Throw shade on my name, step with caution (woo)
You be stalkin' (me, me), I've been bossin' (true, true)
Scooped up some more land 'cause I'm flossin' (woo)

Don't let me count to ten
One, two, ten, what you think? (Woo)
Don't let me count to ten
One, two, ten, what you think? (Woo)
Don't let me count to ten
One, two, ten, what you think? (Gold and I'm great, woo)
Don't let me count to ten (try and silence our pain but we talkin', woo)

Well, because of the crimes, uh, and you know, the gang
Sometimes you worry about what will happen to them when they are out there
