cosign - pearl, ezemdi & warner meadows lyrics

[chorus: warner meadows]

oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea

[verse: warner meadows]

everybody waiting for that co*sign
better be careful, you might run into a clothesline
when i get money, imma travel to the coastline
isn’t it funny how these labels
acting like dummies, telling these fables
when they really tryna take our soul
remember you can never sacrifice control
lil homie you a business
never let em take your vision
holy water in my system
on a mission
crossing up my competition
get the f*ck up out the kitchen
me and my father figure never talk
leave when i peep him coming up the block
whenever i see him, we barely communicate
sit on our phones and runnin’ up the clock
i know he love me, but he barely show it
and often, i feel like i just can’t cope
i’m hooked on the music, fiending for the dope
and imma protect it, it’s my only hope
but i’m blessed
you try to step to me, it ain’t no contest
when i make music, i don’t feel it, no stress
and that’s something you can never repress
i’m gon’ get my success
[chorus: warner meadows]

oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea (yea, yea)
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea (oh my)
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea (yea)
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea

[verse: ezemdi akalonu]

oh my, wanna see that co*sign
tryna keep it sublime before we run out of time
ain’t no missing the maker when there’s a mark on the paper
just give in to the takers and take a break when you make it like

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
hurry up child
won’t you hurry up child
take the cup child
time is running up child
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
hurry up child
won’t you hurry up child
take the cup child
time is running up child, yea yea
[chorus: warner meadows, ezemdi akalonu & rachel feldhaus)

oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea

oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea (yea yea)
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea (see that cosign baby, yea)
oh my, wanna see that cosign, yea

[verse: ezemdi akalonu]

when i was five, i told my mom i wanted to be cool
a.k.a. white
she proceeded to march down to the school and tell em off like
how you let this happen?
how you let this black boy think he was born unnatural
cuz of the complexion of your children’s classes?
they said apologies, oh mrs. akalonu we assure you
we are liberal, we let our children know
about the civil rights struggle and everything related
so we’re bewildered by the basis of that narrative that you’ve created
so mom said screw it and enrolled me in a book club with
kids akin to me
and taught me bout my history
and told me who i’m meant to be
and taught me what ezemdi means
and said my son, whenever you become misguided
you can send for me
i went to school and got miseducated about whiteness
like what it means, and what it does, and who is not invited
to prosperity, disparity of the youth divided
i spent all my years dragging myself to where my peers were guided
clouds filling my eyelids
jaded from living blinded i sit in silence
and contemplate my mental state
till now i’ve been contriving
to get my name in gold plates and star paste and papers i can sign it
will a co*sign from a label show i’m more than able?
or from white america get me a seat at the table?
or from ivy leagues make all my finances stable?
or from my family finally show that i’m a staple?
see i’ve been chasing acceptance since before i could help it
acceptance from god make me spiritually wealthy
acceptance from all my peers gon’ keep my ego upheld
but now i realize, i don’t have acceptance from myself
help me
