I know you got him, I know you got him picked But the man's in trouble I'mma show YOU how GREAT I AM! [Verse 1] Hold up! Black excellence, I be rappin' it differently, uh Tell Howard Cosell I’m Howard Hughes with this rapping thing? (uh) Underrated from Chocolate City with all the flavor My b**hes ball like I'm Q. McCall, they Sanaa Lathan Black excellence, we depart from the negative, boy Black denim that keep a knot like a pessimist, boy Black n***as hate black n***as, that's evident so Keep black windows with masked n***as that never miss, boy Charles Manson to celebrate it, somebody save us Dr. Sebi was really curing what people gave us I'm a beacon of what you become if you got pa**ion I feel like Ali, but feel like I be with all the cash is Never could reach the ma**es Label said I'm too deep and I told them people that's frownin' Blacks executed for movin' around And maybe I think too deep, but I think it be for this brown skin Pro-black isn't anti-white But how we act like we don't see no Tiki Torches at night? (Ya dig) Pro-black isn't anti-white, but if a Nazi try me, catch these Ali hands on sight (ya dig, dig) [Interlude: Jimmy Jacobs] He's young, he's handsome. He's a poet, a prophet - And many people believe he'll be the next heavyweight champion of the world... [Verse 2] Uh, yeah, boy Yeah, black excellence, a young perfectionist White America's fear is intelligent men with melanin Uh, rap effortless, son of African immigrants Every baguete is packed, like I'm 'bout to "psh, psh" with anyone You a field n***a, posing as real n***a An uncle Tom that can sorta rhyme, so they deal with ya With me, I see through it The honorable Wale Folarin, Ca**ius, Muhammad Sonny Liston you lil' n***as Say my name (Olu), now say my name (Olu) Tell the ref to lift up my fist Mr. Heyman pay me my loot Black excellence, uh, black Lexus that we never drive Ride me, if you get the drift I'm the underdog, they don't talk about what I've done The odds seven-to-one, the seventh bell, you'll be done I talk how I talk, I'm walking that walk Could never fight for a country that want me to fall, nah Exiled for a short minute when Zyla was born Beef with her mama literally was throwin' me off But I'm back, that's my word, if he back Then I be in the speedback, and go "brrrrt", yeah A gat with the words Black excellence, chocolate city, b**h I'm on the phone with Kuna [?] talkin' a milly, b**h Just a correctional, cut the message off really quick No pressure, impressive, despite they effort, hit 'em again You have a collect call from - Double M, DC and I'ma rep my dog, yeah Nah, y'all never catch my vibes I mean I write it, I really write it, I'm still South Paw Awkward, lefty, introvert, it's hard to get near me That's why I'm in interviews high because I be highly defensive, for real I'm black and I'm proud, no walkin' me down We shockin' the world again, let me give it out!
