Set It Off

Uh-uh, uh-uh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, ayy

Set it off on 'em, yeah, we 'bout to set it right

I've been laying low with it but I'm 'bout to strike

The future too on, man, future too bright

We 'bout to set it off, bitch, call it dynamite

They put us out of sight, yeah, then they dilute the truth

I've been feeling real lost since my last bathing suit

The two bloodlines, ooh, get your shit confused

I've been tryna run away since I could tie my shoes

And stay to the streets, feeling hungry, gotta eat

And the food that they've been feeding us the start of our defeat

I woke up from my sleep, they got chains up on our feet

We are slaves to the system, that's no matter how discrete

Push on for my people, I'm a pillar, I'm not feeble

And you cannot kill my spirit, flying free, I am an eagle

Equal, I don't know, man, this shit subliminal

Had me feeling criminal, had me feeling pitiful

I ain't never been the same, no, I ain't your typical

But I'm here, I'm proud of me and shit, boy, that's the miracle

I keep climbing past these limits, climbing to the pinnacle

And I'm here, I'm proud of me and shit, boy, that's the miracle

Set it off on 'em, yeah, we 'bout to set it off

Set it off on 'em, yeah, we 'bout to set it off

We going hard on 'em, nah, we never going soft

We set it off on 'em, yeah, we 'bout to set it off

Set it off on 'em, yeah, we 'bout to set it off

We set it off on 'em, yeah, we 'bout to set it off

We going hard on 'em, nah, we never going soft

We set it off on 'em, yeah, we 'bout to set it off

Now I'm on my journey and I walk my A to Z

And I cannot change your mind, but at least my mind is free

Running laps like it ain't nothing, I'm a cold MC

I wear my story everyday, they're just all wannabes

I wipe these tears off for my sister, can you see?

We been gold, our souls glimmer, now I told you, can you see?

Melanin run deep, now I'm just hoping you can see

That there's a queen up in the mirror getting clearer, can you see?
