You know sometimes we forget what we worth
And sometimes we lose sight of who we meant to be
And then sometimes we settle for chiffon when we could have Velvet
Everyday of my life
I thank God for my Pastor
He instilled in me my self-esteem
I'm not a bastard
Disaster is rampant
In this world but I got laughter (yeah)
I got laughter
Today and ever after
Granny smiling on me
In her mansion in the chapter
Coming after this one
I hope God don't tell me back up
In college how I used to act up
Black women I couldn't pass up
Lindsey was backin that ass up
CC was backin that ass up
I was out getting so plastered
Residual checks that I cashed out
After I sent something home to my moma
Ciroq on the couch where I passed out
Woke up 1 shoe with no sock on
Thank you LORD wasn't no snapchat
But Veleashia seen me on Facebook
And she asked me where my class at
Cuz I'm supposed to be Huey
I'm supposed to be Malcome
I'm supposed to be Martin
But I aint living that outcome
I'm supposed to be Langston Hughes
I'm supposed to be Garvey
But all I'm reppin is party
Yea all I'm reppin is party
DuBois me sometimes a Negro
Gotta give a upgrade to his conscious
Establishing his family name
Instead of just his Johnson
Do he wanna graduate to greatness
Or be common
Do he wanna sharpen mental weapons
Or disarm them
Do he wanna run as a Barack
Or vote for Clinton
Do he wanna elevate his Block
Or keep on lynching
Do he wanna put them bullets down
And pick up ballots
Stacey Abrams 'posed to be
In Georgia's Governors Palace
'Member Pastor told me I
Aint gotta stay in Egypt
The Son will always shine on us
'Less we make Him eclipse
I don't know if Kanye
Will ever come back
It's like they got him programmed
In his maga hat
But truth be told
