Used to bring the facts now we focus on stacks demoralizing our women
And queens just so we can make them racks ah when everyone is doing it it's
Time to bring the balance on back positivity will challenge that I'm on a whole
Different wave length you couldn't measure me my whole click stays lit we seeking
Treasures B, I found a lot walking pavements we free agents no Mental enslavement
To a system that will make you Famous but leave you vacant have you making payments
Sell your soul to Satan I'm blatant when I speak The truth awaken everybody seeking

We about to Bring it back y'all so just chill chill and relax
We about to bring it back Y'all we about to bring it back
We About to bring it back y'all so just Chill chill and relax
