about

Nia Long was a staple in black culture for most of my youth. She embodied beauty and class so effortlessly. Not only that, she was a whole vibe that inspired black women all over. This is us rocking out and putting out similar vibes, brown skin and a whole lot of magic.

lyrics

Nia Long



1st Verse: Erica


It’s been a long long long I’m time
since I picked the pen up and wrote out my sins on the page/
yeah/
though I have seen better days
/yeah/
I’m holding on to my faith/
ueahhhhh. /
cause I’ve been feeling like a flower in the attic/
far from average/
yo Im really holding it down/so sit back and witness the magic/
vamoose/
I’m chuckin the duece/ and spitting my truth/
hard proof/
healin my wounds/ water my roots
I go by Emoney/ so give me the loot/
Big/
greatness coursing through my veins/
yo I am proof/ it’s lit/
see I’m tryna master my cadence/ and patiently waitin/ Im fading away with the flow/
you can be on the right path/ then fall on your ass/ don’t let that diminish you growth/
demons be lurkin/ they workin/and searchin all through the night tryna find them a host/
so strengthen your spirit/ they fear it/ and hear it all in my voice when I’m spittin that dope/
ahhhhhhhh/
the great black hope/
my ancestors wildest of dreams/
yeahhhhh/
with my kinfolk/ you can’t real fuck with my team/
we used to be down bad now we buildin/we breakin the industry seams/ I know that you know what I mean/we floating down streams /yuuuup

Chorus:

We lighting booth
It's war in these streets
lace up ya boots
pulled up in a coup
me and Emoney the mufuckn truth
attack of the clones
all of this brown skin like Nia Long
love me or love me
love me or love me
or leave me alone




2nd Verse: Kay

Raindrops on my Afro
Good guy like Ted lasso
Welcome to the fiesta
My banda
Sweeter than pecan pie from my grandma
They call this broken grammar
but ain’t nothing broke
they Screaming revolution cause they think they woke
But will sabotage the entire tribe
and Sink the boat
They be like oh sisThink she adope
Nah sis I know I’m dope
I know I’m her
Dreams deferred
Dream team in this ting ting
Shinning shinning shinning with no bling bling
Hitting conas
Hitting conas
Hitting conas
Hitting conas
Praying soldiers
Dodging corona
Jesus is still King King
Moving up like George
yo Bitch check score we on a run
Celtics with no ime
Gimme the mic go dj
Just caught a body no replay
Tatum
Picture take em
Dead mcees I rake em
Dice we gon shake em
We guapale
Black fists
Crucifix
Ah Ah
Collard greens
Collard greens
Collard greens and catfish
I’m at this
Sis yo they got me pist
a takeover
a make over
Tryna to glaze over
They ain’t really did shit
we misfits
blow this whole thing up and I watch it burn like uzi
In a dishike
got it covered up like kufis
go and get yo cameras
It’s about to be a movie
yall betta bring yo cameras it's about to be a movie

Chorus:

We lighting booth
It's war in these streets
lace up ya boots
pulled up in a coup
me and Emoney the mufuckn truth
attack of the clones
all of this brown skin like Nia Long
love me or love me
love me or love me
or leave me alone


ya gotta love me or leave me alone
gotta love me or leave me alone
ya gotta love me or leave me alone
ya gotta love me or leave me alone
