Intro:

You disapprove of my black design?!

You not a fan of my natural high?!

I'm too urban for the natural eye?!

That my skin never cracks in time!?

Get shot at, it's coz I asked to die!?

Put 'em in his place, he got sass and pride

I'm always hurting feelings of the brashest guys...

Loki (4x)

Verse One:

To those who quick to cast stones and bricks --

Buffalo fish, I got a bone to pick

Can I be the man on my culture tip?

Or maybe this my freedom, 'bout as close it gets

Can I be me w/o thrown a fit?

Styles & trends, it's just a joke to them

Rock something lil more clone to them

So you can feel a lil more home to them

I've been told my appearance gives off an ego flare

Big-headed as if I put a cheat code there

Sponge-top got 'em staring like I need more prayer

They seem to have an issue w/ my negro hair

A more corporate look, seeming less of themselves

Coz sometimes, ppl reflect off themselves

Direct off themselves, put stress on themselves

And sometimes, even interject of themselves

Loki

Hook:

They don't wanna see me brung up

Coz they rather see me brought down

Like I'ma god needing to be de-throwned on the come up

They love me better when I'm brung down

Loki!

They don't like to see me turned up

But they love it when I turn down

No reason for these ppl to get edgy, on the word up

So why they love me when I'm turned down?

Loki!

Verse Two:

To those who quick to cast stones and bricks --

Buffalo fish, I got a bone to pick

Can I be the man on my culture tip?

Or maybe this my freedom, 'bout as close it gets

To all races; Got mad love, I'ma peace keeper

But I'ma sucker for black love, it's deep seeded

Paramount in the blood, won't ever be meager

Coz they don't care what we've been thru, police either

Brainless! My playlist? Got 'em anguished

Whenever they see me nodding to my favorites

Take pride in what I crank, but they wane it

Siphoning my African diasporan so to drain it

Same rules, but only sways with one group or another

Just want you to be OK with, but never have a say in

Wonder why you hate, then

Guess you guided/misguided by Satan... Loki

Bridge (2x):

Blame Adam and Eve for this disease

We go up then back down like Mr Freeze

Can you believe - That's how we live and breathe?

If you agree? Act now, and listen pleeaaase...

Verse Three:

They be enforcing the old saying, "Do as the Romans"

Nose turned up w/ an attitude as a bonus

Pick a bad night and think they won't see an omen

Well, my blood ain't Type B, and I ain't pretty easy goin'!

I intimidate, not on purpose

But I renovate, on the surface

Please assimilate, why the verdict

On my pigmenta--tion diverts the issues

In the states, like we vermin but deserve a bigger plate

On this earth we've been debased

For what it's worth, this innerfaith got us hurt

Because we emulate what we learned as kids of late, I indicate

Try to usurp me of my verses I rehearse a day

Coz Hip Hop got a curse on it that make us look a certain way

Right? I mean...

Can't be looking like we on a different team

Blend in w/ The Philistines

And not get our heads chopped off for being free!
