[Verse 1: Amir Royale] I got the looks and talent But say that with avid admittance that I'm not conceded I mean it, like— These are things I've heard repeatedly said in my presence Guess they're a basic present But that don't mean that I believe it Much less that I'll achieve it in a shape or form Please sir, tell me what's the norm I must conform to Or is it just you I must perform for? Last year I didn't dare to dream But this year I got courage in my repitoir So I'm hoping it'll work out, work out Tryna be the first out, first out And I heard they're going nuts over this track So we'll probably get some cashews Take the oats out, to put some hope in All the things that we're pursuing here Tryna keep it true in here We're the 100% real deal my dear And if you looking for the dough or maybe even hoes They ain't in the studio, they outside waiting for us (sike) I like it here, don't wanna ever leave Listen when I tell ya Me, Nate, Vito and Marq, what you really gonna do When we come in the room and start it up, huh? Turn down for what? [Hook: Nathaniel & Amir Royale] Oooh—Ooh, Ooh Oooh—Ooh, Ooh Ooh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Ooh, Ooh Oooh—Ooh, Ooh [Verse 2: Nathaniel] I'm talking 'bout stars Dark stage, spotlights, no facades I'm talking 'bout dreams and me baby And we're tryna show you just who we are (Inside) Yeah, I love this Yeah, I need it And you best believe I'll achieve it With or without you girl T: Who's this? A: BSR [Verse 3: BSR] I'll be driving in Miami with my yellow Lamborghini With the boys lookin' at me and the girls tryna be me They all about the looks, but I'm all about the books Go to college and got my knowledge Okay, okay, now you looking my way Future out ahead, it's straight up the highway Don't intervene or ever come in between I was born made up for immortality [Hook: Nathaniel] Oooh—Ooh, Ooh Oooh—Ooh, Ooh Ooh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Ooh, Ooh Oooh—Ooh, Ooh A: Take it home Trav... [Verse 3: Travis Raeburn] I'm dealing with dealing all in my conscious Just tryna breed gardens all in my pockets Don't say that my sense of morals is nonsense We just looking for antidotes for the toxins I started with debts but now I cop tens You see its funny cuz they say all this for money But we really like the shine They say its sweeter than the honey—ugh And guess what? They say we doing good 'cause we superstars in the hood But we just manifesting decaptitated figures that we all put Chasing dreams—tryna make a box lean, I wish I could We say we feeding kids But we seed them things we never should Let me build a synopsis As I draw a map to the cracks of your mindset That anything at all was never accomplished That the world got lighter and we all lost fire So dark was whitening and then we lost our color And we enslaved the people that just looked like others This is a letter all the way from the womb Will I ever be able to live without someone's a**umptions? Or will I die so quick I'll be birthed in a tomb Groomed to be misunderstood by a concept I guess that means the world made a monster A distinct intellect that's grown to be hostile But I just need a purse for my mom Oh my god, stop and frisk cause he needs to be calm! (God damn!) My culture cla**ed as poor that's what motivated me more Gave me the inspiration to become an entrepreneur But this is not just a dark boy dream I share the same vision that an Asian can see I speak the same Spanglish as a Latino I feel the same spirit as a Native or an Indian For all we know, we as pale inside as lighties on the other side But we've lost it all due to the pride we've been deprived of Scary things, petty lies, petty lies... Love find us—come and find us I got old block negroes counting zeros Because they all deserve oscars So wave your flag like you about to conquer Cause the one eye's the biggest gang But we all got the power... [Hook: Nathaniel] Oooh—Ooh, Ooh Oooh—Ooh, Ooh Ooh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Ooh, Ooh Oooh—Ooh, Ooh [Hook] + [Segue 1: Travis Raeburn] Sing to me girl Won't you think of me now? Don't you change on me girl, oh no [Hook] + [Segue 1] + [Segue 2: Amir Royale] We are all coming together And we're getting something crazy I can't tell you anything but how we're So amazingly beautiful [Outro: True Artists] Make Believe Make Believe Make Believe Make Believe
