JOY

Poisonous Them in control try to poison us They see our joyfulness as a threat But I won’t let em toy with us Poisonous Them in control try to poison us They see our joyfulness as a threat But I won’t let em toy with us Let’s be honest We figured out our problems Still we beat ourselves the hardest Shit, to whom are you a martyr Can’t label me a starter Had to make myself a promise not to fold but to work harder Through the good and through the bad Through the pain and through the struggle I got used to heavy lifting with my brain and with my muscle Now I’m winning Believe me, this is only the beginning Reparations come my way for all the pillaging and sinning It’s a white man’s world and I’m a black boy living I don’t f*ck with limits so I’m tearing down the ceiling Got no mental space for all this rage I’m feeling Paranoid when I see cops as if it’s dope that I’m dealing David caught me in a struggle so he’s calling me up People calling on my knowledge think they’re calling my bluff Man my circle’s getting smaller every day of the week So I don’t f*ck with none of y’all except the ones I can trust Poisonous Them in control try to poison us They see our joyfulness as a threat But I won’t let em toy with us Poisonous Them in control try to poison us They see our joyfulness as a threat But I won’t let em toy with us Gooss said: Obi why you always tripping on some shit? I said: Am I really trippin' or are y'all just missing it? I think I already found my reason to exist I’m on a mission, I can never call it quits Through the good and through the bad Through the struggle and the pain I got used to heavy lifting with my muscle and my brain Reminisce on days Things will never be the same But I’ll have aces up my sleeve till my name’s on a grave Black boy joy is what we know they detest But they want black girl magic cause they know it’s the best Now we’re taking it back, yeah I said it with chest So give me my part and pay off what you owe to the rest Cause they owe my brothers the world and they owe us respect You surprised to see us angry? What the f*ck you expect? Now we still turning heads and we be snapping them necks Cause we’re the light out in the darkness that I know they detect Poisonous Them in control try to poison us They see our joyfulness as a threat But I won’t let em toy with us Poisonous Them in control try to poison us They see our joyfulness as a threat But I won’t let em toy with us It's just me against the world
