lyrics

Give it to me now!

This is my hour
Cause I know My Power
I’m Black and I’m Proud
I’ll say it louder
This keg’s full of powder
All bets are off now
Lock and load…
Brrrah-Ahh!

Hook:
Put aside your feelings cause I’m not doing just what you want
I’ll do whatever feels right…
Form your tight opinions if you like
I pay it all no mind
Stay in your lane
I’ll stay in mine

Folks so judgmental these days
It seems you can’t do anything right
Try and take your might
Wanna turn everything into a fight
This fake outrageousness is just
Reactions from your amygdala
So check yo triggers, Bruh
I’m not ‘bout to play so go and find you one... who will…

Hook:
Put aside your feelings cause I’m not doing just what you want
(What you want)
I’ll do whatever feels right
(I’ll do whatever feels right…yeah)
Form your tired opinions if you like
(Form your tired opinions if you like…I’ll pay it all no mind)
I pay it all no mind
Stay in your lane
I’ll stay in mine

Hurt people hurt people
I’m empathetic with the whole scenario
But, you can’t do me, tho
I’ll wrap that shit up
You won’t see me no more
I spend time my wisely, speaking life, bringing light
What would I acknowledge the petty for?
Y’all must be bored…
And I can see that we’ll never be on one accord…yeah…come on now!

Hook:
Put aside your feelings cause I’m not doing just what you want
I’ll do whatever feels right
Form your tight opinions if you like
I pay it all no mind
Stay in your lane I’ll stay in mine

Bridge:
It’s such a shame to see how we are forced to compete..
in the scene..
Which is ultimately the community..
I really be out here..
Not bothering you my dear..
Somehow you sought me out..
And now want you want to run ya mouth
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Go and get yours
Focus on your own
Baby..work on yourself
Get you some help
Jealousy only confines…
Stay in your lane and I will stay in mine

Hook:
I’ll do whatever feels right
Stay in your lane I’ll stay in mine
(scat) Bye-Bye!
