(Verse 1)
Chillin in my yamaka on Hanukkah
IPhone holla's what you doin? Eatin Challa bruh
It's freezing on my hip hop thermometer
And momma's makin latkes while I convo with a doctor
To him I'm just a scholar in an Oxford
So he may be hot and bothered if i rap or mention Harlem
Like, talking garbage hardly understands the topic
Then responding with "woah your aapartments by the projects?"
Oh, I'm about to vomit
Silently I ponder should I target all the comments?
Arguing is bound to be the least of all our problems
Cause I bet my bottom dollar he's perceiving this as harmless
Obnoxious, I guess I can't be honest
But you see I went to college just to school this f**in novice
I'm a product of knowledge
Polished with proverbs and phonics
Modest but harder to harness
When Im offended or tarnished
Darnit...I'm barely getting started and
Surround by accounts and a thousand dollar carpets
A shark pit, scarfin on my conscious kid
Pardon me Im starving imma be right back....
(Chorus)
Complex
Culture is Complex (2x)
(Verse 2)
In fact, imma keep it a stack
You can call it a handshake I'll call it a dap
Talk facts that's, tax cuts, labels and traps
And the white man get paid off of all of that
Dagg. When entangled only angle is rap man
Finagling some records and relaying the facts fam
Relax damn ya baggage is tackling all my habits
I've had it with all the laughing your manic or actin static
All the half a** chats and bad looks that it took
Make me wanna go and look in my psychology books
Boy I probably should, instead ill model the good
And after that I hope to god you're not afraid of the hood
Cause It's important that we listen
Order was just resistance
Portions worlds are splitting sure facilitate position
The vision was nothing different than Malcolm and Martin's wisdom
The smartest and well intentioned are harnessing all their weapons
Attacking the radio, there you let em know
Dollar signs show so we're taking control bro
We're using the shows Promoting diamonds and hoes
Hoping that nobody knows so their perception is froze
But yo hip hop is prose, a platform to speak
It's beauty and complexities alleviate the siege
But jeez, when I mingle with you three, sheesh
It's not peace it's illegal to be free uh
(Chorus)
Complex
Culture Is Complex (2x)
