Neophyte - Intellectual

[Chorus 1: Leila Adu]

Feelin' so raw

Livin' in these times

Oh, raw, so

[Verse 1: Gaika]

What are you afraid of?

A weapon in your waist

Laying in the snow

Don't you know they'll break your body?

Don't you know they'll take your body

And walk away, and walk away?

What are you made of

Is measured by your face

The way your blood flows

I won't let them tell your story

I won't let them steal your glory

And walk away, and walk away

[Chorus 2: Leila Adu]

Running friends dance

They're laughing out of time

Threads fray blows

Loving's so hard

Getting out of line

Enjoy wormholes

[Verse 2: Gaika]

Sambo in polite society

Renbo in the white society

But the duppy dem fright me

Rhyming in the ghostlike war

Frigid nigga's girl fucked by the black

Or he dead from cops

Fraid dem pussy

While we stunt nonstop

[Refrain 1: Gaika]

We're insecure in this image of God

[Hook: Gaika]

So, I'm up on that line like a man gone numb

With the iced out chops and diamond rings in pursuit

Of making rent, security in silence

[Verse 3: Gaika]

[?]

Air Max Nikes, I could feel fear

My assailants black

[?] roadside [?]

Saw your spirit as I went with the sick

Infirm, where I slept with a stick

Thickheaded, swollen purple lips

I died that night as I tried for live

[Refrain 2: Gaika]

Black yute is a killer like bounty

Call the eagle and the hawk dem surround we
