Ah

I'm goin' back to the South

I'm goin' back back back back

Where my roots ain't watered down

Growin' growin' like a Baobab tree

Of life on fertile ground ancestors put me on game

Ankh charm on gold chains with my Oshun energy oh

Drip all on me woo Ankh or the Dashiki print

Hol' up don't I smell like such a nag champa incense

Yeah pure ice ice ice ice buss down

Uh flooded flooded flooded flooded on my wrist out

Ooh goin' up goin' up motherland motherland drip on me

Ooh melanin melanin my drip is skin deep like

Ooh motherland motherland motherland motherland drip on me

Ooh yeah I can't forget my history is her-story yeah

Being black maybe that's the reason why

They always mad yeah they always mad yeah

Been past 'em I know that's the reason why

They all big mad and they always have been

Honey come around my way around my hive

Whenever mama say so mama say

Here I come on my throne sittin' high

Follow my parade oh my parade

Talkin' slick to my folk

My folk

Nip that lip like lipo

Lipo

You hear them swarmin' right bees is known to bite

Now here we come on our thrones sittin' high

Follow my parade oh my parade

Yeah yeah I'm for us all black

All chrome

Yeah

Black-owned

Yeah

Black tints

Yeah

Matte black

Yeah yeah

Roll by my window down let 'em see who in it

Crack a big smile

Ding

Go figure me and Jigga fifty 'leven children

They like "Chick how"

I charge my crystals in a full moon

You could send them missiles I'ma send my goons

Baby sister reppin' Yemaya

Yemaya

Trust me they gon' need an army

Ah

Rubber bullets bouncin' off me

Ah

Made a picket sign off your picket fence

Ah

Take it as a warning

Ah ah

Waist beads from Yoruba
