Album Cover Black Savage

Black Savage

Royce Da 5'9"

8

I don′t know what this world is coming to

Yeah, I ain't ya average rapper residing in CalabasasMashin′ the Aston through Malagasy in Madagascar

I don't believe in your white Jesus and last suppers

I place value on brothers who never had justice

I am the black savage, Ali and Foreman in Zaire fightin' for black magic

Rifles and flack jackets, momma was suicidal, poppa had bad habits

Product of true survival, rocker like Black Sabbath

Hoppin′ up out the Chevy, Pac, Biggie, Machiavelli

OG like Nas or Reggie, culture like Ox in Belly

Vulgar like Akinyele, focus like Dr. Sebi

We did it your way but now the culture is boppin′ to our Sinatra medley

I'm limitless energy, they gimmicks and imagery

Kendrick, Cole and the Kennedys, lyrical Holy Trinity

General of the city, they into promoting silly beef

Keepin′ it Willy D, Weezy on the "A Milli" beat

Dream Chaser facin' the enemy like my nigga Meek

Tyler Perry writing my winning speech like it′s Emmy week

Heart of gold, never sold my soul, Glock weighs a ton

Hov tellin' Lori Harvey no at Roc Nation Brunch

One life to live just don′t settle, one life I'ma live forever

Stand for something, fall for nothing, no

Rest in Peace to the dead, that's on my soul

You only die once and then you gone

Who thought we′d be fighting all along?

Who don′t know the rights from the wrong

Truth comes to the light behind it all

How much more do you want?

You wanna send us back to where we came from

'Cause we just savages

Well here′s my ass to kiss, yeah yeah

I'm made of gold my nigga

I go back home, I′m a goldmine nigga

We taking all the land back they stole my nigga

'Cause what you reap now is what you sow my nigga

Where your soul my nigga? Goddamn

One life to live just don′t settle, one life I'ma live forever

Stand for something, fall for nothing, no

Rest in Peace to the dead, that's on my soul

You only die once and then you gone

Who thought we′d be fighting all along?

Who don′t know the rights from the wrong

Truth comes to the light behind it all (Ha)

If I ruled the world

I would go return all the gold that was stole

Reupholster the nose on the sphinx it's a world war huh

They tryin′ to take soul outta soul

Niggas say I sold out I never sold out a show

Even though people drove out in droves

Plus a whole lotta hoes I suppose

On the road to success, you gotta pay the toll I was told

I don't hang with pawns, I′m Genghis Khan

Slang with a gang of cons that came with guns

Who speak the language from the ancient ones

Dangerous huh, we shinin' nigga, shame the sun

Do I move D or stay in Saint Laurent?

′Cause y'all fashion week and this ain't Milan

Collusive to your once Ponce De Leon

Make sure it′s peppercorn sauce on my filet mignon, my nigga

One life to live just don′t settle, one life I'ma live forever

Stand for something, fall for nothing no

Rest in Peace to the dead, that′s on my soul

You only die once and then you gone

Who thought we'd be fighting all along?

Who don′t know the rights from the wrong

Truth comes to the light behind it all

My first reaction, raise my hands up along with my antenna

Sinner 'cause we born sinners, killas ′cause we want dinner

Try to warn nigga, better keep on growin'

Try to stay away from foreign nigga

Better recognize when the devil show his horns

He enjoying his whores like Donald Goines

There's a difference between yours and Tomeka and Lauren

Young Warren Buffet in his prime, you ain′t even know it

How she supposed to get thick you just be feedin′ her corn?

With your corny ass get robbed while she fuckin' on your horny-ass

Go to jail tell it all before you ask for your attorney-ass

Nigga, well you could never be me

Knew who I was before I got out the trap to sell a CD

I been shoulder to shoulder with gangsta facin′ LAPD

Felony after felony, still they be yelling me free

Now my philosophy is, "No possession, no apostrophe"

'Cause ain′t no use in being in prison, you don't gotta be

Ironically we dodging crazy crackers with hammers

Just how they used to dodge nigga with braids and bandana

Man it been more mass killin′ than it's days in the year

Wonder if fighting for it worth as much as leaving it here, I'm sayin′

One life to live just don′t settle, one life I'ma live forever

Stand for something, fall for nothing no

Rest in Peace to the dead, that′s on my soul

You only die once and then you gone

Who thought we'd be fighting all along

Who don′t know the rights from the wrong

Truth comes to the light behind it all

Brothers and sisters

I don't know what this world is coming to

Truth comes to the light behind it all
