    Uh-uh-uh what up
    Uh I'm tryna what up

    Uh-uh I'm tryna get something
    Uh-uh-uh I'm tryna what up

    I say what up

    Uh-uh I'm tryna
    Sometimes I wanna leave
    Sometimes I wanna cry
    Sometimes I hate to bear the truth
    Sometimes I wanna lie
    Sometimes I wanna school the youth
    Sometimes I wanna ride
    Sometimes I wanna not think
    Sometimes I wanna vibe
    Sometimes I wanna bump Tribe and zone out
    This song bout a young boy
    That's going wild inside
    When my world collide
    With your world where your girl
    And your kids reside
    We kill the facades
    We feel free to fly
    We're birds that reserve in the charismatic sky
    I care about my pride too much
    If my clothes is new
    If my ride is plush if my hair is cut
    If my diamonds is crushed
    I look in the mirror I'm trendy enough Wrong

    Insecurity roams the black community
    Homes where kids must have jewelry
    The high school female need earrings and details
    So she can be cool to be amongst popularity
    The various name brands that reach the price scan
    That's not about the right price
    But more like the right scam
    To rule us all confuse us all
    Hit the bank within five minutes and then withdraw

    Now let's draw the picture of a rapper with a chain
    In a Range that is not paid for
    My cousin from the South said he just bought him a house
    That lives around his neck like a white collar
    So why fast forward
    Then I rewind
    A time machine can help me double back to slavery times
    Picking cotton from a field that a white man own
    The blacker you are
    Farther you from the white man's home
    Negro spiritual zones gave us some type of sanity
    Before your vanity they parted our families

    They put us in hundred-degree shade
    And outside we bathed
    The more we were afraid
    The more they made rules
    And trapped our minds in the cage
    Our freedom was so fake
    Couldn't see it with the eyes
    Of Tracee Ross uh
    And school was exempt
    See we couldn't have smarts
    And a smirk could get you hurt
    Wound diversed from a scar
    Four-hundred years of nothing
    Four-hundred years of suffering
    Four-hundred years of tears
    And tribulation miseducation
    See what we facing is now coming
    Back to the roots
    Remember whips on our back and
    If we would run they would shoot
    Call us niggers and figured
    That we'd never lived in pursuit
    Of happiness
    We captured these feelings
    In things that we do
    Thought it's abstinence in slavery
    But we made it come to
    A modern perspective
    My shoe selection gotta be Louie
    Her handbag gotta be Gucci
    It's fake then she foobie
    She still bad though
    And her fake Gucci ain't that bad though
    We filling up the gas for Rollies
    Upgrade to twenty-sixes out there riding Kobes
    My cousin from the South
    Slavery start in the South and I bet ya
    He overcompensates for the life of his ancestors
    So blame it on the four-hundred years we never saw
    The reason why the next four-hundred we gotta floss
    Slaves

    Uh I say the four-hundred years
    We never had nothing

    Barely had clothes on our back

    It's the reason why
    When we get a little bit of change
    We over-exaggerate on our living expenses

    So if you get your first big check
    And you cop a chain before you buy a house
    You're a vanity slave

    If you're a female and you got four
    Five six rings on your finger
    Four holes in your left ear and a nose piercing

    You're a vanity slave

    If you got an '02 Monte
    Carlo with twenty-fo's on it
    And on the back of the window it says

    "get on my level hoe"

    You're a vanity slave

    We all vanity slaves

    And with that being said

    Can somebody please tell me where the mall at

    I'm not from around here
    Hey Ali where we at Idaho

    Yeah ***** you know the first of the month

    You know them checks come in
    I'm tryna get something but what up
