KALIEF Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
(Yeah), yeah

[Verse]
Black Power, like, fuck the system and stack dollars
Came in through the back
Robbed your business 'cause its really ours
Twelve think they tough but niggas know that they really cowards
Hirin' my people and my cousins, call it the Family Dollar
Brothers hoistin' me on they shoulders so y'all can hear me louder
This one for the people that's just now Googlin' Kalief Browder
Ugh, hear the sound of my gun, this ain't no "Run, nigga, run"
I own my masters, respected by slave catchers
They puttin' back on they chains, they playin' the game backwards
I say "Fuck playin' the game, be damned if I play catch up"
We customized this lane, no traffic, we movin' faster
Only fuck with doulas, 'cause fuck you, these babies matter
We only buyin' black now black owned
Black woman sitting on a black throne
Feelin' like we back home
Noticin' that they don't like a nigga with a backbone
I could walk away from a billion and have a good sleep
Fuck that hush money, I told 'em, "I'm doing good free"
Givin' up the sauce to my homies like fuck a good deed
Poolin' all the knowledge, we ponderin' over good reads
Black boy book club boomin', it's like a good dream
Black coach, black front office, we got a good team
Black boys, black girls runnin' all through the hood free
Black joy, black world comin', I'm seeing good things
[Outro]
Yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
