about

[Verse 1]
Throw up your bird, your third finger, yeah the middle one
And let that nigga linger for the little dreamer, fuck a leader
This coffee Black, this coffee cold, this shit ain't sugarcoated
This country been imploded, don't give a shit how you voted
Fuck all that group think, humor me, what you think?
You human being with a crew of peeps at a bar right after a few drinks
Speak up, not back down
If that crap get backed up, you crack up
So curse out or surf outta my turf now
Bad United States, bend over, tough love
The violence is a mild kiss and the rap music is a rough hug
And the one drug we all on, will to live, no pill for this
You wanna find out how real this is?
As ill as officials killings kids
Hands up means pierced palms, Christ like, not wise or bright
It's fist up, more difficult for them to cuff your wrist up
You think slavery ever ended, then you can my dick suck
Intended for you pig fucks who got an itch and like to click stuff

[Refrain]
When you candid as fuck you get branded a nut
Reprimanded as such by some man in a tux
Understand and adjust to the plans of the Klux
Black is tragic enough, so I'ma be up front
I don't back down

[Hook]
I don't back down, I don't, I don't back down
I don't back down, I don't, I don't back down
I don't back down, I don't, I don't back down
Bro I got one mode, go hard or go home

[Verse 2]
You setting a dangerous precedent with this unintelligent little President
Now it is evident that your irrelevance isn't in question, now it's a fact
No more quote, unquote "White folks"
So the nervousness, it ain't so purposeless
But chill, you won't be killed
Though eventually all y'all gone come merge with us
Just give it time, I'll spit the rhymes
And when y'all ready, just call to get me
I'll bring the wine, I see the swine
They'll bring the law, we'll bring the saw
All their bones we clean them raw
Leave the preacher with uneven jaws
Themes I bring don't need applause
Bite Battle? Not even Jaws
Bright stars, they back down from outrage on the internet
Are you ignorant?
I'm Black stupid, for me everyday is a death threat
No matter how smart I get I'll be targeted by the farmer's whip of our day
And that being said, fuck them, kill them all
I don't, I don't play

[Refrain]
When you candid as fuck you get branded a nut
Reprimanded as such by some man in a tux
Understand and adjust to the plans of the Klux
Black is tragic enough, so I'ma be up front
I don't back down

[Hook]
I don't back down, I don't, I don't back down
I don't back down, I don't, I don't back down
I don't back down, I don't, I don't back down
I don't back down, I don't, I don't back down
I don't back down, I don't, I don't back down
Bro I got one mode, go hard or go home

[Verse 3]
I am a mutant assuming the role of a human
In moments of ruin, I'm fluent in doing my own thing
Fuck the tats and the nose ring
I'm busy busy, in a pissy hissy
Mad shifty and a tad iffy
If my grandfolks was this grisly
Guarantee they'd be crispy crispy
We ain't new to this bullshit, is we?
Since we been in this fishy tizzy
It's gimme gimme, and we give it give
Still they refuse to be civic, forget it
Fuck it, stir up a ruckus
Round up these motherfuckers, line them all up in public
And hand them a shovel and put them to sleep in that hole
Hold up - After they dug it
Crooked cops, politicians
Murder is murder by my definition
If your inhibition ain't nill, figure
This just ain't your field nigga
Rock the porch, be real chipper
And Pat Battle, he will differ
For better or worse, a house or a hearse
I'm here to rehearse the moment we burst
Boom!
I battle solo, yo my mind is just a dojo
And most bros got one mode - go low for promo
They steady screaming yolo, while I'm standing here like oh no
Your pop culture phrases are basic, prefix the proto
So somebody tell the right side that they can shut the fuck up
And while they're at it, tell the left side shut the fuck up
And the same goes for cooning ass rappers that they trump up
Ain't digging Pat's sound, then y'all oughta back down
