american pharaoh - jase harley lyrics
[intro]
what you say?
[chorus]
woke up in the morning
broke all my chains
money’s my language
but i’m n0body’s slave
open my eyes
see the crabs in the barrel
’cause i’m on the rise
an american pharaoh
[verse 1]
ahh, i’m young and i’m black in america
they try to attack and embarr-ss us
y’all don’t want your daughters to marry us
but they love this d-ck so i tear it up
got her wetter than mariners
half of society scared of us
my n-gga i’m young with no barriers
so if you owe me money just ante up
police k!lled my best friend, they shot him dead
i do not forgive, i do not forget
my life is a cliff and i’m by the ledge
and in less than a moment, a lot is said
but if you don’t know me, do not allege
the thoughts in my head, you cannot arrest
i see that as a promise and not a threat
i don’t answer my phone if it’s not a check
i’m on plus, your money on minus
no love for the righteous, just call me your highness
you can’t bite this, my flyness science
no time for bullsh-t, i require silence
people wanna bottle my virus
sneeze on the track, it came out of my sinus
but you won’t see no sign of survivors
so i sped off, hear the sound of my tires
[chorus]
woke up in the morning
broke all my chains
money’s my language
but i’m n0body’s slave
open my eyes
see the crabs in the barrel
’cause i’m on the rise
an american pharaoh (what you said?)
woke up in the morning
broke all my chains
money’s my language
but i’m n0body’s slave
open my eyes
see the crabs in the barrel
’cause i’m on the rise
an american pharaoh
[verse 2]
ahh, i’m young and i’m black in america
they stop and they frisk us and jail us up
i don’t understand what they jealous of
see they crucify us and nail us up
and there is no such thing as privilege
that was not in the curriculum
this is the world that i’m living in
like i’m only one-third of a citizen
but f-ck it, i’m getting my money up
three ain’t company when you wanna be number one
second and third place, i don’t wanna be none of ’em
after all of the effort, how could i settle for runner-up?
give ’em a foot, they take a mile and run ’em amok
i went through a drought, no one was hittin’ my number up
i used to be stuck in my own head like what was up
but sometimes sh-t can go downhill when you coming up
they try to divide up, my kingdom with violence
they know i’m a tyrant, they riot, we hose ’em, and fight ’em
take they gold and they diamonds
then hang them by rope with no trials
no jesus christ for your crisis
i’m just raking in green like i’m irish
with no ocean to part every sea is too narrow
i rose from the battle, an american pharaoh
[chorus]
woke up in the morning
broke all my chains
money’s my language
but i’m n0body’s slave
open my eyes
see the crabs in the barrel
’cause i’m on the rise
an american pharaoh
