"Blackberry Marmalade"

Oh

Oh

Empires built on bloodstained ground

Kanye West, I pray they all fall down (uh-huh)

London Bridge, they're tryna cross you now (uh-huh)

Don't crash out, Dirty Diana (Dirty Diana)

I got the hammer

I know it's polarizin' (you know)

I miss my nana

She used to tell me 'bout her (oh)

Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea

Beats the summer blaze, they say

Honesty's the best policy, okay (say it)

Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea

Beats the summer blaze, they say

Honesty's the best policy, okay (say it)

Promise me you won't gun me down

Promise me you won't gun mе down

Promise me you won't gun me down

Promisе me you won't gun me down

Promise me you won't gun me down

Promise me you won't gun me down

Promise me you won't gun me down

Anti-establishment, crackers on that shadiness (you know it)

Crackers watched me work and break my back

And said they gave me this (you know it)

Crackers tapped my pockets with taxes, said they made me rich (yeah)

Cracker jacked the sound and soul

Then boxed me in and shelved my shit

Like black men

Don't let 'em trouble you (don't let it trouble you)

American front on you (it's gonna be okay)

I know it befuddle you

But don't let it get to you (don't let it get to you)

Just know that they miserable (know that they miserable)

And know that behind every smile

They thinkin' 'bout killin' you (say it)

N-I-G-G-A (say it)

N-I-G-G-A (it's o-, it's okay to say)

N-I-G-G-A (just say it, please)

N-I-G-G-A (I won't tell anybody)

Ghetto nigga, gangsta nigga, dangerous nigga, famous nigga

Bougie nigga, Louis nigga, Prada nigga, Gucci nigga

Artist nigga, heartless nigga, honest nigga, smartest nigga

Say it how I mean it, and I call it like I saw it (say it)

Scholar nigga, proper nigga, kill a nigga, rob a nigga

Conscious nigga, pompous nigga, South and Orizaba nigga

Californiacated nigga, highly elevated nigga

Ain't you glad I made it, nigga? Go on 'head, say it (bitch)

Thuggish nigga, ruggish nigga, coveted, beloved nigga

Kiss a nigga, hug a nigga, if you fine, then fuck a nigga

Master never love a nigga, always tryna cuff a nigga

Obama, Kamala nigga, who the fuck you calling nigga?

Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea

Beats the summer blaze, they say

Honesty the best policy, okay (say it)

Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea

Beats the summer blaze, they say

Honesty the best policy, okay (they lying)

Promise me you won't gun me down

Promise me you won't gun mе down

Promise me you won't gun me down

Promisе me you won't gun me down

Promise me you won't gun me down

Promise me you won't gun me down

Promise me you won't gun me down

N-I-G-G-A

N-I-G-G-A

N-I-G-G-A
