i am posdnous
i be the new generation of slaves
here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes
the pile of revenue i create
but i guess i don't get a cut cuz my rent's a month late
product of a north carolina cat
who scratched the back of a pretty woman named hattie
who departed life just a little too soon
and didn't see me grab the plug tune fame
as we go a little somethin' like this
look ma
no protection
now i got a daughter named ayana monay
and i can play the cowboy to rustle in the dough
so the scenery is healthy where her eyes lay
i am an early bird but the feathers are black
so the apples that i catch are usually all worms
but it's a must to decipher one's queen
from a worm who plays groupie and spread around the bad germ
i cherish the twilight
i maximize
my soul is the right size
i watch for the power to run out on the moon
faker than a fist of kids
speakin that they're black
when they're just niggas trying to be greek
or some tongues who lied
and said we'll be natives to the end"
