REPARATIONS

Hook:
What you gon’ do when you get your reparations?
What you gon’ do when you get your reparations?
I’m gon’ have some fun
Pass down to my young
everything that was stolen and plus some
Oohhhh Oohhhhh Oohhhhh Reparations now.
I’m gon’ have some fun
Pass down to my young
everything that was stolen and plus some
Oohhhh Oohhhhh Oohhhhh Reparations now.


Verse 1:
Imma buy up all the old plantations
Imma elevate my whole generation
Imma start a couple foundations
Build better schools across the nation
Imma grow my own food and make my own rules
Blessings rain down on me, fondue
Keep my family safe from the boys in blue
Now we so high up ain't never gon lose

Hook:
What you gon’ do when you get your reparations?
What you gon’ do when you get your reparations?
I’m gon’ have some fun
Pass down to my young
everything that was stolen and plus some
Oohhhh Oohhhhh Oohhhhh Reparations now.
I’m gon’ have some fun
Gonna pass down to my young
everything that was stolen and plus some
Oohhhh Oohhhhh Oohhhhh Reparations now.

Verse 2:
So what you thought? I wasn't gon’ get no sneaks?
See I own the whole company put my name on the crease
New system in the whip just to bang this beat
Now the dope boys ain’t got to slang in the street

Currency creates options now I’m popping
Everywhere I go, see I'm the topic
Afro indigenous owned, check the Optics
Head to toe, goddess flow, know, I’m a problem
They used to say that we would squander all the money
But when they stole it from us we ain’t get to count their pockets, funny?
Now we hollering land back, time’s up
Whole crew mentality like Mamba

Bridge:
So for every back you broke - (reparations)
Everybody that you stole - (reparations)
Every mama strung on dope - (reparations)
It's time to pay up what you owe- (reparations)

Hook:
What you gon’ do when you get your reparations?
What you gon’ do when you get your reparations?
I’m gon’ have some fun
Pass down to my young
Everything that was stolen and plus some
Oohhhh Oohhhhh Oohhhhh Reparations now.
I’m gon’ have some fun
Pass down to my young
Everything that was stolen and plus some
Oohhhh Oohhhhh Oohhhhh Reparations now.
Oohhhh Oohhhhh Oohhhhh Reparations now.
Oohhhh Oohhhhh Oohhhhh Reparations now.
