D Smoke - Black Habits I

Mm, Supa Good
Inglewood

Purple rain fallin' down on a prince of the coast where the sun shine
All year 'round (Mm)
Purple haze over landscapes, still I hydrate in a lunch line
With the smog and clouds (What?) Start me out (Uh)
This song's in the key of life and love is in need of more
Young nigga from Inglewood, barefoot on a cedar floor
If black music is the blood, then my heart has been beatin' more
Rapidly, happily, I look back on Afeni Shakur
Her son paved the way, now all eyes on me
'Cause I'm young, black and gifted, Nina, all eyes gon' see
If you swung back when faced with a challenge that's meant to break you, unbalanced
Scales, you ain't average, now throw your hands on three
Go on and put 'em up for

Black magic, black excellence
Black habits, this black medicine, everything
Black Chucks, black tux, everything, everything
Black hug, black love, everything
Praise black Jesus, play black Moses
Give 'em flowers while they still here, black roses, everything
Black tie, black ride, everything, everything
Black pride, black lives, everything (Ah-ah-ah)

Skin noir, friends noir, here you are, black
Everything you need, better believe you are that (Say it)
Skin noir, friends noir, here you are, black, every—

Every time they hear this, they gon' say "He made a anthem"
Life ain't a panda, shit ain't black and white, it's a canvas
Spike Lee your dreams and Bruce Lee your tantrums
To beat that bullshit and go Michael Jordan, go Samson
Knock down the walls around me, strong and dark and so handsome, uh
Everything around me is shinin' dark and the time is divine
I found a spark, when the clouds leak and the rain fall and I found peace
I'm black as the concrete, black as the street that's lined with the palm trees
I'm black as the night sky when you broke and your bread and your bacon just don't meet
Black as the bottom of Chuck Taylors, black on some "Fuck haters"
Black as the burned rubber hittin' donuts in front of the store where two months later
They got stopped and the cops found a black burner underneath the seat on some Nat Turner
Black as the judge robe when the case closed, now your life on the back burner

Black magic (Black magic), black excellence (Black excellence)
Black habits (Black habits), this black medicine (Yeah), everything
Black Chucks, black tux, everything, everything
Black hug, black love, everything
Praise black Jesus (Yeah), play black Moses (Hah)
Give 'em flowers while they still here, black roses, everything
Black tie, black ride, everything, everything
Black pride, black lives, everything (Ah-ah-ah)

Skin noir, friends noir, here you are, black
Everything you need, better believe you are that (Say it)
Skin noir, friends noir, here you are, black
Everything you need, better believe you are that

Mira negrito, puro amor pa' mis morenitos
Hice un giro cambiando idioma'
Vuelan palomas encima del rollercoaster
Cerca de la playa, ocean view
Blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice, we dancin' to soca, too
Only fuck with few real niggas that chill with us, bear with us and deal with us
Never pulled a trigger aimin' at another man, but real hitters still pick up the phone
Ayy, Smoke, what you need? I ain't on this mission alone
Used to dream of really stackin' my funds, now my window's just as black as my guns
I feel divine, it came on time, God never changes
Ain't gon' lie, I lost faith and cried, then my faith revived
And as soon as I let go and surrendered to him my talents
This young king took off like, "Go, Go Gadget", there go that

Black magic, black excellence
Black habits, this black medicine, everything
Black Chucks, black tux, everything, everything
Black hug, black love, everything
Praise black Jesus, play black Moses
Give 'em flowers while they still here, black roses, everything
Black tie, black ride, everything, everything
Black pride, black lives, everything (Ah-ah-ah)
