lyrics

WANNABE
WANNABE
WANNABE

Hip hop took it to the top.
You said it was a fad
And we told you we won't stop.
All around the world is our culture.
Some even try to snatch it up,
Like vultures.
Cuz it's cool to wear and clothes
And fashion.
Especially if you got the cash
To cash in.
Until it's Black Lives Matter
Then where you at?
Oh, you silent? I see...
I'll remember that.

CHORUS:
Everybody wannabe a nigga
But don't nobody wanna be nigga
Go n figga.
Everybody wannabe a nigga
But don't nobody wanna be a nigga
Go n figga whicha.
Everybody wannabe a nigga
But don't nobody wanna be nigga
Go n figga.
Everybody wannabe a nigga
But don't nobody wanna be a nigga
Go n figga.

The greatest athlete
Ever, in America.
Don't even front
You know it's my girl, SERENA.
She be cripplin' bitches,
Have you seen her?
She give me life all day,
Aquafina.
Better than Larry Bird, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning,
Don't like it, suck on my dick.
Not here to make friends,
I'm here to spit truth
Don't like it, you can still suck my diiiiiick!
(Shout out to my boy, Kaeperniiiiiick!)

CHORUS:
Everybody wannabe a nigga
But don't nobody wanna be nigga
Go n figga.
Everybody wannabe a nigga
But don't nobody wanna be a nigga
Go n figga whicha.
Everybody wannabe a nigga
But don't nobody wanna be nigga
Go n figga.
Everybody wannabe

So the next time you "YIKES" on Kanye
Goin' "APESHIT" over Jay-Z and Beyoncé
Do take time,
Listen to what we got to say.
Know our lives matter when?
ALL DAY!

So when we BBQin' in parks
(Just leave us alone.)
I'm not a criminal cuz I'm dark.
(JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!)
Stop riggin' award shows against us...
It make you look thirsty cuuuuuuuuuuuz

Everybody wannabe a nigga
But don't nobody wanna be nigga
Go n figga.
Everybody wannabe a nigga
But don't nobody wanna be a nigga
Go n figga whicha.
Everybody wannabe a nigga
But don't nobody wanna be nigga
Go 'n figga.
Everybody wannabe...
