three-fifths

Uh, they say three-fifths of a man

If that's the case, I'm here to take about three-fifths of the land

And the mission began, with how this country is built with our hands

Tryna see the bigger picture, need three-fifths to expand, uh

I'm only sharing 'bout three-fifths of the plan

I never need a recipe, I'm just gon' mix with my hands

And the kitchen demands, that we ain't fixing chicken again

So I'm in the kitchen, whippin' in a Micheline pan, like, "Let em cook, bruh"

This for everything they took, bruh

Treat 'em like we fishing, we can't let 'em off the hook, bruh

Each and everyday they throwing bait like this the good stuff

They look tuff, but making weak moves, maybe we should fuss

I stood up, but they ain't gon' jack it, I show the hood love

I would shrug, but who else showing love to the ghettos

I'm tried of hearing 'Wade in the Water' sung in falsetto

So, when it comes to business, we stand taller than stilettos, tryna heal

'Cus the pain we facing is real

The message got intercepted when Kaepernick left the field

Inspired to shed a tear

Been grinding since yester-year

So, when they tell the people stand, I'm trying my best to kneel

Thy tried to give me three-fifths of a record deal

Three-fifths of the time, I'm rhyming and trying to bless they ears

Other 40% of time, I'm finding the rest of peers

So the message is clear, can't let the devil come fester fear, man

I need my 40 acres and a mule

So I can build us an estate, where we can lay out by the pool

You know the people say, "Suspicious activity"

Man we live in captivity

You feeling me, I think it's time for duel

See I'm providing the fuel

We shine like diamonds and jewels

I pity fool who's thinking my people fine with the cruel way we treated

Man, I think it's time for renewal

And with every step we taking the education is crucial, brother

They say three-fifths of a man

If that's the case, I'm here to take about three-fifths of the land

The mission began. with how this country is built w our hands

Tryna see the bigger picture, need three-fifths to expand, ****
