FATHER FIGURE - Tobe Nwigwe/Royce da 5'9"/Black Thought
Lyrics by：Tobe Nwigwe/Tariq Trotter/Ryan Montgomery

Look I can do in days what may take them years
I done parted ways with those who move in fear
Hard to go astray when the vision's clear
Low-key they might have to throw parades when I'm no longer here
This for the gangsters and the hustlers and the block bleeders
Ain't got a bar for a mark unless it's Noxzema
If they ain't tweaking when you speaking you cannot feature
Push a Hyundai Accent like I can't afford a drop Bimmer
Why 'cause it ain't about the car it's 'bout the confidence
All my consonants are consequently due to confidence in
Elohim though the metal bring me a peace of mind
We survived places that demonize
Feeble minds for what should be legalized
I'm heh just sayin' dawg that's big ol' facts
Be wary of the trap with cheese 'cause there's big old rats
Ay look low-key you could touch more cheese than a grater
Have some paper but if you're known for hoin' your partners
You still big ol' trash
The real gon' understand
I pray the fake gon' listen
If you the fraud on your squad
You still can change positions
Before I had a pot to piss in or this diction
I envisioned every piece of fruit
I brought into fruition ugh
If you hatin' dawg you trippin'
Garnered recognition with my missus word to Jigga
I swear they'll have my art in exhibitions in a minute
Not just a rapper to these rappers
I swear I'm they father figure
I'm gone
Yeah I'm your father figure ooh
I swear I'm your father figure ooh
No no you you I'm your father figure
Not just a rapper to these rappers
I swear I'm they father figure ooh
Dearly beloved if it's merely a budget
I'm clearly above it
My skin and my hair is
Nigerian colored and does what a Aryan's doesn't
If you purely a puppet
Then you'll really be stuck in end you a suffix
I don't want to be toughest
I just keep it a hundred and think nothing of it
Timidly talkin' ain't part of my chemistry
I'm a OG is you kiddin' me
I see what you givin' me B
It's your liberty still but I see it's stupidity
You lackin' humility seeking validity
Shake the mistaken identity
These lackin' ability jokers is killin' me
Literally wastin' my energy
That's only a fact they'll never hold me
I only adapt
You shouldn't have told me ya homie could rap
They shouldn't have shown me to tobe and fat
I'm blacker than black or packaging crack
Or packing the mac in the back of the Ac'
I'm sayin' I'm somethin' spectacular
Don't at me I'm biomolecular
Don't google the aftermath don't bother
Everything left on the floor is the lava
These nuts George Washington Carver
What you want boy I'm a piranha
I'm a pariah I am Nirvana
I am a king coming out of Wakanda
I'll run into you on tour it's a problem
I'ma be honest I am your father figure
Yeah I'm your father figure ooh
I swear I'm your father figure ooh
No no you you I'm your father figure
Not just a rapper to these rappers
I swear I'm they father figure ooh
African estate grass and grapes
Masculine the slave master hate
Exactly when they emasculate
Congratulate gay amass the hate
As the black lady shake
They fascinated they masturbate
The black parade straight exacerbates
The actual hate they imaginate
That's when they racist straight harass us as they evacuate
Imagine wearing they mask somewhere
Can't imagine making it past the day
Hell is hated heaven's a elevated melanated masquerade
We celebrate they'll vaccinate
You separate they assassinate
Weapons mastered yes they active
Yes they matter Maj Toure Toure
Rep they blackness leather jackets black beret beret
Pastor Mase ice cube Jam Master Jay
Trunks of jewelry come through and truly
Trump security Grand Master Jay
Gucci conned me out of Luciano
To Armani I'm a moulinyano
Drove her out to hit the Neimans in Cabo
Scope the model made her Venus De Milo
Spend a lot at the Palazzo
Send you hollow semi-autos powder blue Diablo
Probably pop a cop or two to honor Breonna and Amadou Diallo
They tracking the African breed to patent the seeds
They snatching the apple from Adam and Eve to patent the seeds
Attack chemically then patent disease
I rep murder violence methane bars jet stream God
You rep Turtle Island just ain't y'alls Epstein's log
And that king talk my queen shopping in LA LA
See me out in that green
Drop that thing not a Chevy Chevy
Beam on top of that slingshot
Glock sing soft as Dwele Dwele
And things start to fall apart like Chinua Achebe chebe
Yeah I'm your father figure ooh
I swear I'm your father figure ooh
No no you you I'm your father figure
Not just a rapper to these rappers
I swear I'm they father figure ooh
