Carrio Xanders Black Boy Joy (feat. Rapturous)
[Chorus: Carrio]
Black boy, this that black boy joy
See we ain't the ones that your crack destroyed
Feel that black boy, feel that black boy joy
They only recognise us when we're black boy toys
This that black boy, this that black boy joy
See we ain't the ones that your crack destroyed
Feel that black boy, feel that black boy joy
They only recognise us when we're black boy toys
[Verse 1: Carrio]
The blue skies are back for a moment
Clouds disappearing, setting the sun in motion
Couldn't lock my mind in a penitentiary
But that wouldn't stop the bars dripping off this penmanship
La di da di, now we love to party
But life folds and unfolds like origami
Funny money loses tension when we start to cut it
And ain't here for the charcuterie, wallahi
Deuces, this the part where you split
And truth is, can't take back what you see
I knew this when they sold me a cruise ship
For a loosie, that's cow dung or bull...huh
Now you're dealing with a connoisseur
Better differentiate me from the commoner
It was raining down pain when I was coming up
In the same vein, this Plain Jane is popular
[Chorus: Carrio]
Black boy, this that black boy joy
See we ain't the ones that your crack destroyed
Feel that black boy, feel that black boy joy
They only recognise us when we're black boy toys
This that black boy, this that black boy joy
See we ain't the ones that your crack destroyed
Feel that black boy, feel that black boy joy
They only recognise us when we're black boy toys
[Verse 2: Carrio]
We're the ones that took pain and flipped it
Into passion, wonder why they call us misfits
I am the reincarnation of Nipsey
And God will certainly rise, yeah, that's the mystery
My God, what have you done with us?
It's only the beginning and you ain't done with us
Egyptian prince covered in golden nemes
Breakfast served out on the open terrace
I got the keys to the kingdom
And I brought Somalis and Namibians
Know why they call us heathens?
Cos we're cheffing it like Brazilian magicians
Heaven knows that I'm far from being average
Keep me out of your loop, I'm a maverick
Extremely blessed with the simile and assonance
It's natural the extravagance, stop rationing the sacrament
[Chorus: Carrio]
Black boy, this that black boy joy
See we ain't the ones that your crack destroyed
Feel that black boy, feel that black boy joy
They only recognise us when we're black boy toys
This that black boy, this that black boy joy
See we ain't the ones that your crack destroyed
Feel that black boy, feel that black boy joy
They only recognise us when we're black boy toys
[Verse 3: Rapturous]
Lock the body but can't trap the mind
Knock the hustle but can't stop the grind
So many times tried have a brother blind
The devil's got a plan but can't quench this little light of mine
Cos it shine nigga, through the darkest void
I swear I heard a voice clearly telling me and mines that it's fine niggas
Keep pushing on you can't recline nigga
It's almost time nigga
Survived the odds hovered over obstacles
From the slums to this concrete jungle can't let them muscle you or trouble you
Turn those Ls into Ws and start winning
Hard living and make that comfortable
This right here is for legends
Correctional facilities but who are they correcting
They took our ancestors and they put them in the trenches
Bet we took that pain and put it in the records, cash in
[Outro: Rapturous]
Light of mine, I'm gonna make it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna make it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna make it shine
Make it shine, make it shine, make it shine
