**Lyrics**
[Intro]

Who you—

[Verse 1]

Who you know gettin' busy with the force? Like, haha

Laugh 'cause we good, that's hakuna matata

Bet you wanna see a Black woman get active

Whenever they chat shit, I just say nada

Free from the BS, I was carryin' the weight

Bein' stuck up in the matrix, it's a rat race

Givin' 'em our truth and they gave us blackface

Why you wanna make a mockery of my pain?

Way too long we been carryin' the shame

If we knew we had magic, would we put needles in our veins?

That's that selling-us-a-lie shit

Keep us low, then we get high quick

And it doesn't change

I was down and out, had my bank account untamed

Trustin' of thе people billin' evеry call made

Everybody here gettin' money off my name

Irony is I'm the only one not gettin' paid

You've been tannin' in the sun, so now I'ma throw shade

I probably paid for your Balmain

Know you're good at sellin' me the n\*\*\*a dream

One M might just make a n\*\*\*a scream, "N\*\*\*a, we made it"

Gimme equity if you about it

We been here climbin' these mountains, trekkin' through the rain

Ownership is the only conversation we can have

Takin' the throne back, you shouldn't have got attached

No mercy

No

[Verse 2]

Free the birds, tuppence a bag, hella diamonds in the stash

Currency in cash, put the bullshit in the trash

N\*\*\*as ridin' out, got the Bible on the dash

"God, do everything you can to prevent us from a crash"

You know that I'm unapologetically Black

I can see it make you nervous here, you ain't gotta act

I'm a human landmine

I am not a human being you can gaslight

If the contract more than two page, it's a bad sign

I was convinced it was fine, it's my damn time

Sixteen, callin' America on the landline

Thank God that my brother kept the flashlight

Needed guidance through the dark, I know sad times

I know good hearts, you is bad mind

Everything is archived, I can never be stopped

Can't get through to me, you'll see that you been blocked

No mercy

[Verse 3]

Don't get lost in the sauce when he talk

Take your time, be sure

They want you rushin' life decisions over a three-course meal

Next thing you know, you're doin' free tours

I can put you on game, power in your name

The minute you sell that, everything is gonna change

What would happen if you bought into their vision?

And what would happen if you put your people in positions?

You ain't in the studio with me, but want commission

And if I wanna release my art, I need permission

There's hidden agendas here we should unpack

Forgive me if I'm yakked, I'm just genuinely baffed

Please don't ever sell your soul, it's a trap

They want me talkin' online, but I put it in my raps

Looks like I'm the only one spittin' facts

I'm finally free and now they hopin' I relapse

No mercy

No mercy

[Outro]

They been hurting you

Do yourself a favour

They do not deserve you

You can't be their saviour

You're only human too

Do yourself a favour

They do not deserve you

You can't be their saviour

You're only human too

Do yourself a favour

They do not deserve you

You can't be their saviour

You're only human too
