Black Qualls

(album: It Is What It Is - 2020)

I just bought a crib on top of the hill
And I bought a brand new ride, am I keeping it real?
There's nothing wrong if you got it
I'm not living in fear, I'm just being honest

'Cause there's no more living in fear
No more living in fear
If we don't talk about it, then who will?

I know I give a different vibe, yeah (Then who will?)
I'm doing what I like, woah, woah, woah (Then who will?)
I don't need your co-sign (Who will?)
'Cause I'm young enough and I'm old enough, both at the same time (Who will?)
Hey, don't trip on my aggression, baby, oh (Who will?)
'Cause I can go in different directions, baby (Who will?)
I'm just tryna live my life, do my best and that's alright (Who will?)
Yes, I'm comfortable and that's what's tight (Who will?)

Just moved out the hood, doesn't mean I'm doing it good
Wanna post this on the 'Gram, but don't think I should
Is it just for me or am I paranoid?
Gotta keep it on the low 'cause I been robbed before

Sometime I wanna say that I'm blessed (Baby)
Black man's grind gon' answer the test, ah
The box you tried to throw me in don't fit me no more, no
Creative spirit talking, creative spirit walking
And I ain't tryna hurt nobody, hurt nobody, hurt nobody

'Cause there's no more living in fear
No more living in fear
If we don't talk about it, then who will?

We don't talk, then we feel safe
Each one of us with tiny, tiny, tiny screens
I've been running, I've been running like a soul, woo
Sweating on 'em, now the beat gon' breathe
But I keep hearing
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop (Tell you what)
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop (Can't even imagine)
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop (Whatever I feel is real)
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, yeah, ayy, hey (It does not matter, I mean it)
