N.F.L. (My People Remix)

 

N.F.L. (My People Remix)

(album: Back2Love: Side Bee - 2022)


What are you trying to accomplish?
What would you like this to be the endgame for you?
A little space please
Um, I mean, ultimately it's to bring awareness and make people
You know, realize what's really going on in this country
There are a lot of things that are going on that are unjust
People aren't being held accountable for
And that's something that needs to change
That's something that, you know
This country stands for freedom, liberty, justice for all
And it's not happening for all right now

Born into this world a free agent
Single mother, nineteen-year-old, forsaken (No)
By my daddy, a man with no patience (Nah)
Traded for adoption towards my greatness (Yeah)
Picked up by a white team, little privilege (Yes)
I was still a Black boy with Black boy visions
Sports was natural, defensive end, punter position
In my mind I'm wondering if my dad did this
I pushed through to become the true me
4.0 GPA, basketball MVP
Got recruiters wanting pieces of me
Pieces of they team
A free agent, barely nineteen
Headed to Nevada to further pursue my dream (Dreams)
Quarterback, even earned a degree
Learned more about me (About me)
And the ones before me
The shame and the glory
Some American dreams are a horror story (My skin is black)

My skin is black
They just see N.F.L. (N.F.L.)
They just see N.F.L. (N.F.L.)
They just see N.F.L. (N.F.L.)
My skin is Black
But they just see N.F.L
They just see N.F.L. (They just see, yeah)
They just see N.F.L. (Oh, why, why, why?)

Fast forward to 2011
NFL debut, October 2nd
New lessons of what it's like to work for an owner
Navigating through the field, no longer the corners
Mansions and endorsements (Uh)
Meals and great courses (Yep)
Adopted to a system of corporates and sportsmen
Meanwhile, from Ferguson to Portsmouth
Cops are killing in great proportions
It was never my intention (Nah)
To draw self-attention (Nah)
But draw more attention to the murders aforementioned (Yes)
I never flaunted no hoes
Never stabbed a person at the Super Bowl
Or knocked my lady out cold (Nah)
Never got busted for trees
Never took money under the table for greed
But somehow I'm now the villain of the league
'Cause I took a knee for victims who look like you and me

My skin is black
But they just see N.F.L. (They just see)
They just see N.F.L
They just see N.F.L. (But my skin)
My skin is black
But they just see N.F.L. (N.F.L., N.F.L.)
They just see N.F.L
They just see N.F.L. (Oh, why, why? When I walk off the field)
My skin is black
But they just see N.F.L. (Skin is black)
They just see N.F.L. (Ain't it right you could be me? No)
They just see N.F.L. (My skin is black, when the policeman pull me over)
My skin is black
But they just see N.F.L. (My skin is black)
They just see N.F.L. (Oh, they just see N.F.L.)
But they just see N.F.L. (Oh, and it's plain to see)

I can't believe when they see me (Only see)
They just see a nigga for life (They just see my skin)
They just see a nigga for life (Oh, ho)
They just see a nigga for life (They just see my skin)
I can't believe when they see me (Oh, oh, oh)
They just see a nigga for life (They just see a nigga for life)
They just see a nigga for life (They just see a nigga for life)
They just see a nigga for life (They just see my skin)
I can't believe when they see me (Only see)
They just see a nigga for life (They just see my skin)
They just see a nigga for life (Oh, ho)
They just see a nigga for life (They just see my skin)
I can't believe when they see me (Oh, oh, oh)
They just see a nigga for life (They just see a nigga for life)
They just see a nigga for life (They just see a nigga for life)
They just see a nigga for life (Hey, hey, N.F.L.)

Uh
Hey (N.F.L.)
Hey, N.F.L. (N.F.L.)
Oh, why?
Why, why, why?
Oh, N.F.L

Fatto
