Redbone Flow

(album: Get Twisted Sundays Vol. 2 - 2017)

I used to dive in it, but now I stay by the shore
'Cause when you reside in it yo' eyes be tinted way much more
Than usual cloudy judgment ain't viewable to the people that be trapped in 'em
All that glitters ain't platinum
Or gold, partner, I chose proper, but yet and still
Could never birth something real like contraceptive pills, ouu
'Cause I swear I used to feel like relationships was built on
Getting draws being ideal, but
It wasn't, cousin, that dirty dozen of gangstas that installed that up in my mental
Really ain't have credentials 'cause you know they fatherless
And never really bothered with
The fact that all they lil' intuition came from super fictitious
Lowkey malicious doctrine taught by the elders on the block
But when you ain't that close to heaven, hell, you give what you got
Yeah, even if it is rooted in ignorance
Most captives don't recognize that deliverance is necessary
To counter hereditary impotence
Even if you innocent you still guilty, it's hard to feel me
Grew up jamming "So Fresh and So Clean", but still was born filthy
Holy cow, I be feeling milky when I think about
All the lil' floozies that was drawn to me and let me dig 'em out
When no doubt I was just, nah, scratch that
Look, when I was really just searching for something deeper
Went on tour for my purpose, no Justin Bieber
To every lil' mama bopping that I called skeezer
Wish I could tell ya you you one in a million, word to Aaliyah
Yep

If you want it, yeah
You can have it, oh, oh, oh
If you need it, ooh
We can make it, oh
If you want it
You can have it
But stay woke
