Snow On Tha Bluff

          C#m7
Niggas be thinkin' I'm deep, 
intelligent, fooled by my college 
degree
         C#m7
My IQ is average, there's a young 
lady out there, she way smarter than
 me
                       G#m7
I scrolled through her timeline in 
these wild times, and 
I started to read
                 G#m7
She mad at these crackers, she mad 
at these capitalists, mad at these 
murder police
              C#m7
She mad at my niggas, she mad at our
 ignorance, she wear her heart on 
her sleeve
               C#m7
She mad at the celebrities, lowkey I
 be thinkin' she talkin' 'bout me
               G#m7
Now I ain't no dummy to think I'm 
above criticism

So when I see something that's 
valid, I listen
    G#m7
But shit, it's something about the 
queen tone that's botherin' me
                 C#m7
She strike me as somebody blessed 
enough to grow up in conscious 
environment
                  C#m7
With parents that know 'bout the 
struggle for liberation and in turn 
they provide her with
             G#m7
A perspective and awareness of the 
system and unfairness that afflicts 
'em
G#m7
  And the clearest understandin' of 
what we gotta do to get free
            C#m7
And the frustration that fills her 
words seems to come from the fact 
that most people don't see
                C#m7
Just 'cause you woke and I'm not, 
that shit ain't no reason to talk 
like you better than me
             G#m7          
How you gon' lead, when you 
attackin' the very same niggas that 
really do need the shit that you 
 G#m7
sayin'?

Instead of conveying you holier, 
come help get us up to speed
             C#m7
Shit, it's a reason it took like two
 hundred years for our ancestors 
just to get freed
                  C#m7
These shackles be lockin' the mental
 way more than the physical

I look at freedom like trees, can't 
       G#m7
grow a forest like overnight

Hit the ghetto and slowly start 
plantin' your seeds
            G#m7
Fuck is the point of you preaching 
your message to those that already 
believe what you believe?
             C#m7
I'm on some "Fuck a retweet," most 
people is sheep

You got all the answers but how you 
gon' reach?
   C#m7
If I could make one more suggestion 
respectfully
I would say it's more effective to 
      G#m7
treat people like children
Understandin' the time and love and 
                          G#m7
patience that's needed to grow

This change is inevitable but ain't 
none of us seen this before
             C#m7
Therefore we just gotta learn 
everything as we go

I struggle with thoughts on the 
daily
            C#m7
Feel like a slave that somehow done 
saved enough coins to buy his way up
 outta slavery
              G#m7
Thinkin' just maybe, in my pursuit 
to make life so much better for me 
and my babies
         G#m7
I done betrayed the very same people
 that look at me like I'm some kind 
of a hero
               C#m7
Because of the zeros that's next to 
the commas

But look here, I promise I'm not who
 you think
              C#m7
Ran into this nigga outside of the 
store yesterday

He said something that had me like, 
"Wait"
             G#m7
He was like "Cole, 'preciate what 
you been doin', my nigga, that's 
real"
                     G#m7
But damn, why I feel faker than Snow
 on Tha Bluff?

Well, maybe 'cause deep down I know 
I ain't doing enough

Can you walk with me?
                      C#m7
I hope we'll find the reason why we 
often sob, go on, cry
G#m7
Painful memories fuck up the vibe
         G#m7
Though I be tryin' to let the time 
heal my mind
C#m7
I was once a child, I've gotten 
older
C#m7
Still, I know I'm just a boy in 
God's eyes
G#m7
Fill me up with wisdom and some 
courage
G#m7
Plus endurance to survive, help mine
 thrive
