"Blackberry Marmalade" lyrics

"Blackberry Marmalade"

Oh
Oh

Empires built on bloodstained ground
Kanye West, I pray they all fall down (Uh-huh)
London Bridge, they're tryna cross you now (Uh-huh)
Don't crash out, Dirty Diana (Dirty Diana)
I got the hammer
I know it's polarizin' (You know)
I miss my nana
She used to tell me 'bout her

Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea
Beats the summer blaze, they say
Honesty the best policy, okay (Say it)
Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea
Beats the summer blaze, they say
Honesty the best policy, okay (Say it)

Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down

Anti-establishment, crackers on that shadiness (You know it)
Crackers watch me work and break my back and shit, they maniacs (You know it)
Crackers tap my pockets with taxes, said they made me rich (Yeah)
Cracker jack the sound of soul, you'll box me in and sell my shit, like- (Uh, uh)
Don't let 'em trouble you (Don't let it trouble you)
America'll front on you (It's gonna be okay)
I know it befuddle you
But don't let it get to you (Don't let it get to you)
Just know that they miserable (Know that they miserable)
And know that behind every smile
They thinkin' 'bout killin' you (Say it)

N-I-G-G-A (Say it)
N-I-G-G-A (It's o- it's okay to say)
N-I-G-G-A (Just say it, please)
N-I-G-G-A (I won't tell anybody)

Ghetto nigga, gangsta nigga, dangerous nigga, famous nigga
Bougie nigga, Louis nigga, Prada nigga, Gucci nigga
Artist nigga, hardest nigga, honest nigga, smartest nigga
Say it how I mean it and I call it like I saw it (Say it)
Scholar nigga, proper nigga, kill a nigga, rob a nigga
Conscious nigga, pompous nigga, South End Orizaba nigga
Californiacated nigga, highly elevated nigga
Ain't you glad I made it, nigga?
Gon' 'head and say it (Bitch)
Thuggish nigga, ruggish nigga, coveted, beloved nigga
Kiss a nigga, hug a nigga, if you find and fuck a nigga
Massa never love a nigga, always tryna cuff a nigga
Obama, Kamala nigga, who the fuck you calling nigga?

Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea
Beats the summer blaze, they say
Honesty the best policy, okay (Say it)
Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea
Beats the summer blaze, they say
Honesty the best policy, okay (They lying)

Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down
Promise me you won't gun me down
