[Intro: Archie Green]

40 Acres and Mule....

We Don't Need You...

[Verse 1: Archie Green]

Now life wasn't

All sugary sweet/

A life of lament

Housed at East Washington Street/

Chagrin Falls

Like any other suburb/

All good if you was White

If you was night it wasn't right/

Imagine being a token without knowing/

Your friends feeling your hair

When it was growing/

Like

"What you need a brush for?"/

This comin' from the lineage Of Mt. Rushmore/

Oh, think you could make it nigga?/

Going to school with kids

Who's parents hated niggas/

Like really hated niggas

Not even fakin' niggas/

Turned down by daughters

Cuz "moms don't want me datin' niggas"/

I know, it's kinda hard ain't it/

You livin' life on a

Canvas your parents painted/

To ya'll

It looks like a Monet/

But you know what

They say happy ain't bought

With mo-ney/

[Hook: Archie Green]

Martin marched so we could walk/

Malcolm fought so we could live/

We livin' good and we not ashamed/

Matter fact you can keep yo' 40 Acres mane'/

Keep yo' 40 Acres mane' (2x)

[Verse 2: Archie Green]

Remember

As a young kid growin' up/

Times never hard both my parents showin' up/

Sure as kids we had dreams of us blowin' up/

But it was times that we thought

We wouldn't blow enough/

Another summer trip down to Williamsburg/

Virginia that is not that other hipster curb/

Fresh off of

Spring break up at Oak Bluffs/

That's Martha's Vine-yard up in New England bruh/

Never knew what

It was like without lights/

Took my pops Beamer 745 to Prom night/

I know you

Thinkin' this is the life/

But real talk nigga this was my life/

No sellin Caine

Stray bullets never came/

I'm saying just cause I ain't hood

Don't mean we ain't the same/

Our stories different

But our love for music never change/

I was dope without the dope

Thankful I ain't never been broke/

[Hook: Archie Green]

Martin marched so we could walk/

Malcolm fought so we could live/

We livin' good and we not ashamed/

Matter fact you can keep yo' 40 Acres mane'/

Keep yo' 40 Acres mane' (2x)

[Verse 3: Archie Green]

Shout out to Ye for pavin the way/

Where artists like Drake be still gettin paid/

What if Childish life was more violent/

And he never went college

Would that validate his rhyming/

Ab-Soul...so cold/

Never would you think his life growing up

Was more controlled/

And Wolf Gang is just some spoiled rich niggas/

But you gotta give it up

Cause they just don't give a fuck/

I did this song

Not to brag/

But I'm sick

Of all these broke niggas getting love for they swag/

Ain't have a silver spoon but I was blessed/

But it's a damn shame I'm embarrassed to confess/

Look...

Some niggas live broke

But some niggas don't/

Some niggas sell dope

But some niggas won't/

I'm not ashamed my life wasn't filled with drama/

For that I'm thankful to God

My father and my mama, I'm honored/

[Hook: Archie Green]

Martin marched so we could walk/

Malcolm fought so we could live/

We livin' good and we not ashamed/

Matter fact you can keep yo' 40 Acres mane'/

Keep yo' 40 Acres mane' (2x)
