Key Lyrics

My mama was raised in the era when

Clean water was only served to the fairer skin

Doin' clothes, you woulda thought I had help

But they wasn't satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself

You see it's broke nigga racism

That's that "Don't touch anything in the store"

And it's rich nigga racism

That's that "Come in, please buy more"

"What you want, a Bentley? Fur coat? A diamond chain?

All you blacks want all the same things"

Used to only be niggas, now everybody playin'

Spendin' everything on Alexander Wang
