Black Genius

Nina uMfotisitsa, what's up?
Hangata nekhutlo hapele akai, etetebetsi, tetebetsi
Ke senao, ke tsebao re na eng ke eng
Empa, o re thetwa, wa sekopo, wa mantswi
Wa mphameny'etla baore ke kelelo hape hape
Ke thata hape hape, ke tsebao re

This that shit for rap addicts, uh
Malcolm told you, the bullet, it cast ballots, power in mathematics
Rap like a sister who walked divorced marriage
Talk to these paws, pen stroke and force damage
Need a banker or a rhino, Ralph Angel on my mattress
Whisper in my ear, "Twirl for me, get ratchet"
Queen of sugar cane, no half-stepping on the magic
Black as the nigga recounting what had happened, Lord
The god lyricist, back on the atlas
Backbending soundwaves to onset the balance
Facts got the heatwave, keep mortal men gathered
Talking 'bout the blackest jewel you gotta have it
Smooth as Ella, melanated to the snob level
Another flight, a layover so the God bless you
It's over, said it'd be years, just for the hard questions
Why you should never bite the slave hand that breastfed you
Heart of Harriet, mind, the shrine for ancestors
Backside commodified by these trendsetters
My little sister still cry, though Daddy been left us
Guess time don't heal it all, message
His loss, lessons we can't ignore
Don't let your tongue run a tab your ass can't afford
Read Audre Lorde, been on the world tour, came back for your
Prodigal metaphor, infinite repertoire
Plus fifty, eleven more, African booty scratcher
Peas in my kitchen, boy, George typhoon
Boy, get on the record y'all been listening for
And grinding on back and forth like a lover's crawl
Black women, turn me up, this right here for y'all

Black genius, black genius
Uh, big lips and thick features, uh
Black genius, black genius
Uh, it's Navu once again, y'all, look
Black genius, black genius
Uh, most hated 'cause the world wanna be us, yes
Black genius, black genius
Uh, enjoy his power for a people at war, y'all

Uh, black as that neck, back, elbows and kneecaps
Descriptions of sugar for that diabetes relapse
Epic on the camera, watch the light meter react
Loud mouths turn mime into traps where we be at
Sweet back, type cinema, flow be straight enema
Syntax hardcore '96, Lil' Kim and 'em
Rap nonlinear, time-space continuum
Duke Ellington shoe boot, and now swing the pendulum
Pandemonium hype when Cool strikes the pen again
Contenders went apeshit when faced with the penmanship
Head nod, God rap with a neck brace and bandages
Approach the altar, take your hat off when the candles lit
On winter day, I came, held me close at the border
Tender Water broke us, an angel called, "Precious Lord"
As I passed, cross glass, calloused hands waved sad
Travel fast to a light source, Momma screaming "Welcome to the world"
We got another black genius

Black genius, black genius
Uh, uh, connect a line, twist with two fingers, yeah
Black genius, black genius
Uh, uh, uh, uh, like Wendy Milton on them keys, y'all, yes
Black genius, black genius
Alright, hey, most hated 'cause the world wanna be us, yes
Black genius, black genius
Uh, enjoy his power for a people at war, uh
Black genius, black genius
Alright, alright, alright
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
Black genius, black genius
