Grammy 2016 Performance

I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
When I finish this if you
Listenin' sure you will agree
Been feeling this way since I was 16
Came to my senses

I'm African-American, I'm African
I'm black as the moon
Heritage of a small village
Pardon my residence
Came from the bottom of mankind
My hair is nappy, you know that it's big
My nose is round and wide
You hate me don't you? You hate my people
Your plan is to terminate my culture
You know you're evil I want you to
Recognize that I'm a proud monkey
You vandalize my perception but can't
Take style from me
And this is more than confession
I mean I might press the button
Just so you know my discretion
I'm guardin' my feelings
I know that you feel it
You sabotage my community, makin' a killin'
You made me a killer
Emancipation of a real higga

As we proceed to give you what you need
Trap our bodies but can't lock our minds
Everybody just stop (The bigger I shoot)

I said they treat me like a slave
Cah' me black
Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain
Cah' we black
And man a say they put me in a chain
Cah' we black
Imagine now, big gold chain full of rocks
How you no see the whip
Left scars pon' me back
But now we have a big whip
Parked pon' the block
All them say we doomed from the start
Cah' we black
Remember this, every race start
From the block, just remember that

As we proceed to give you what you need
Lock our body, can't trap our mind

We gon' be alright we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright we gon' be alright
We gon' be a-

Uh, and when I wake up
I recognize you're lookin' at me
For the pay cut
But homicide be lookin' at you
From the face down
What Mac-11 even boom with the bass down
Schemin', and let me tell you 'bout my life
Painkillers only put me in the twilight
Where pretty women and women
And it's the highlight
Now tell my momma I love her
But this what I like, lord knows
20 of 'em in my Chevy
Tell 'em all to come and get me
Everything I know, karma comin' heavy
No preliminary hearings on my record
Tell em' other gangsters silence
For the record
Tell the world I know it's too late
Boys and girls, I think I gone cray
Drown inside my vices all day
Won't you please believe when I say

Wouldn't you know we been hurt, down before
When our pride was low
Lookin' at the world, "Where do we go?"
I'm at the preacher's door
They wanna kill us dead
At the preacher's door
We said give 'em some more
This one time, do it fo' sho
But we gon' be alright

We gon' be alright
We gon' be alright (hello)
We gon' be alright do you hear me
Do you feel me? We gon' be alright (P)
We gon' be alright (hello)
We gon' be alright we gon' be alright
Do you hear me
Do you feel me? We gon' be alright

What you want, you a house, you a car?
Acres and a mule, a piano, a guitar?
Anything, see my name is Lucy, I'm your dog
You can live at the mall
I can see the evil, I can smell it
I know it's illegal i don't think about it
I deposit every other zero
Diggin' in my pocket
Candy paint it on the Regal
Diggin' in my pocket
Ain't a profit big enough to feed you
Everyday my logic get another dollar
Just to keep you
In the presence of your chico ah!
I don't talk about it, be about it
Everyday I sequel
I don't talk about it, 'bout it
Everyday I see
I don't talk about it, 'bout it
Everyday I see
I don't talk about it, 'bout it
Everyday I see
Pet dog, pet dog, pet dog, my dog, that's all
Pick back and chat, I trap the back for y'all
I rap, I'm black on track so rest assured
My rights
My wrongs I write 'til I'm right with god

It's been a week already
Feeling weak already
Got me at peak, possibility of what could be
Situation is heavy, I've got to prove
On February twenty sixth I lost my life too
It's like I'm here in a dark dream
Nightmare, hear screams recorded
Say that it sounds distorted but
They know who it was
That was me yelling for help when
He drowned in his blood
Why didn't he defend himself? Why
Couldn't he throw a punch?
And for our community do you
Know what this does?
Add to a trail of hatred
Twenty twelve was taped for the world to see
Set us back another four hundred years
This is modern day slavery
The reason why I'm by your house
You threw your briefcase all on the couch
I plan on creeping through your
Damn door and blowing out
Every piece of your brain
'Til your son jumps into your arms
Cut off the engine then sped off in a Wraith
I'm on the dash with my bible in the trunk
Had the vodka on the top
How come I can long time
How come I could make it popular?
Puff on what I want
How come I could make it popular?
Puff on what I want
See I'm living with anxiety
Giving up sobriety cussing with his sister
And playing with society justice ain't free
Therefore justice ain't me
Try and justify staying, obituary
Why you wanna see a good
Man with a broken heart? Once upon a time
I go to church and talk to God
Now I'm thinking to myself
Hollow tips is all I got
Now I'm drinking by myself
At the end of Section Park
Caught you when you walk besides your house
You threw your briefcase all on the couch
I plan on creeping through your
Damn door and blowing out
Every piece of your brain
'Til your son jumps into your arms
The engine then sped off in a wraith
I said Hiiipower, one time you see it
Hiiipower, two times, you see it
Hiiipower, two times, you see it
Conversation for the entire nation this
Is bigger than us
