Black Habits I (feat. Jackie Gouche)

D Smoke

4

Mm, Supa Good

Inglewood

Purple rain fallin′ down on a prince of the coast where the sun shine

All year 'round (Mm)

Purple haze over landscapes, still I hydrate in a lunch line

With the smog and clouds (What?) Start me out (Uh)

This song′s in the key of life and love is in need of more

Young nigga from Inglewood, barefoot on a cedar floor

If black music is the blood, then my heart has been beatin' more

Rapidly, happily, I look back on Afeni Shakur

Her son paved the way, now all eyes on me

'Cause I′m young, black and gifted, Nina, all eyes gon′ see

If you swung back when faced with a challenge that's meant to break you, unbalanced

Scales, you ain′t average, now throw your hands on three

Go on and put 'em up for

Black magic, black excellence

Black habits, this black medicine, everything

Black Chucks, black tux, everything, everything

Black hug, black love, everything

Praise black Jesus, play black Moses

Give ′em flowers while they still here, black roses, everything

Black tie, black ride, everything, everything

Black pride, black lives, everything (Ah-ah-ah)

Skin noir, friends noir, here you are, black

Everything you need, better believe you are that (Say it)

Skin noir, friends noir, here you are, black, every—

Every time they hear this, they gon' say "He made a anthem"

Life ain′t a panda, shit ain't black and white, it's a canvas

Spike Lee your dreams and Bruce Lee your tantrums

To beat that bullshit and go Michael Jordan, go Samson

Knock down the walls around me, strong and dark and so handsome, uh

Everything around me is shinin′ dark and the time is divine

I found a spark, when the clouds leak and the rain fall and I found peace

I′m black as the concrete, black as the street that's lined with the palm trees

I′m black as the night sky when you broke and your bread and your bacon just don't meet

Black as the bottom of Chuck Taylors, black on some "Fuck haters"

Black as the burned rubber hittin′ donuts in front of the store where two months later

They got stopped and the cops found a black burner underneath the seat on some Nat Turner

Black as the judge robe when the case closed, now your life on the back burner

Black magic (Black magic), black excellence (Black excellence)

Black habits (Black habits), this black medicine (Yeah), everything

Black Chucks, black tux, everything, everything

Black hug, black love, everything

Praise black Jesus (Yeah), play black Moses (Hah)

Give 'em flowers while they still here, black roses, everything

Black tie, black ride, everything, everything

Black pride, black lives, everything (Ah-ah-ah)

Skin noir, friends noir, here you are, black

Everything you need, better believe you are that (Say it)

Skin noir, friends noir, here you are, black

Everything you need, better believe you are that

Mira negrito, puro amor pa′ mis morenitos

Hice un giro cambiando idioma'

Vuelan palomas encima del rollercoaster

Cerca de la playa, ocean view

Blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice, we dancin' to soca, too

Only fuck with few real niggas that chill with us, bear with us and deal with us

Never pulled a trigger aimin′ at another man, but real hitters still pick up the phone

Ayy, Smoke, what you need? I ain′t on this mission alone

Used to dream of really stackin' my funds, now my window′s just as black as my guns

I feel divine, it came on time, God never changes

Ain't gon′ lie, I lost faith and cried, then my faith revived

And as soon as I let go and surrendered to him my talents

This young king took off like, "Go, Go Gadget", there go that

Black magic, black excellence

Black habits, this black medicine, everything

Black Chucks, black tux, everything, everything

Black hug, black love, everything

Praise black Jesus, play black Moses

Give 'em flowers while they still here, black roses, everything

Black tie, black ride, everything, everything

Black pride, black lives, everything (Ah-ah-ah)
