history - Intellectual

[Intro]

Oh-ah

Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah

[Chorus]

We been history from the start

Oh, oh-ah (Oh)

We been history from the start

Oh, oh-ah

[Verse 1]

I know my mother tongue real good (Real good)

But that ain't in the world that I live

Just the world that I always daydream of (Dream of)

Speaking in code, got my grandmother nose and my motherfuckin' feet up

And the roosters and hens in my eardrum

I listen to them when I need to feel somethin' in my soul

But I don't got much time 'fore that all fades to black

And I open my eyes and I'm back up in Babylon (Oh)

My dystopian home, where I turned small to grown

Without knowing a clue 'bout the land I belong (I belong)

[Chorus]

Oh-ah

We been history from the start

Oh-ah (Oh)

[Interlude]

Wе been history from (From the start)

I said, we been history, yo (Oh)

[Verse 2]

I said I packed thе black suitcase up to the brim

It's ripped and scratched so my toothpaste touching the wind

In the back of this aircraft, much on a whim

I figured this the best way to begin (Oh)

Short flight from the coast of Miami, Florida to the Caribbean

Ain't fully where our story started, but it's close enough

I find me a corner and fit in perfect

Got just enough room to squeeze in without hurting, I should have more

But I'm sharing with an Anglo-Sax that don't got morals

'Cause it's his vacation destination

Next to a tourist, tryna placate the whole nation

Spend a couple dollars tryna save face

Nigga, fuck all of you and your reputation

I came here to learn, the irony is so painful

The dichotomy of two strangers to the soil

But he got sticky fingers he inherited up

The ones that violated me act like he caring enough

Fuck out my face, nigga (Oh-ah)

(Ah) And stay home, bitch

[Chorus]

We been history from the start

Oh-ah (We been, we been here)

Oh (We been, we been with it)

We been history from the start (Oh, oh)

Oh-ah

[Outro]

From the start (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

From the start (Ah, ah, from, from, from, from)

From the start (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

From the start (Ah, ah, from the top)

From the start (Ah, ah, ah, ah; y'all don't, y'all don't wanna hear me)

Y'all don't wanna hear me, man, y'all just wanna dance
