Текст песни CRYPTOGRAPHY. - Mazbou Q

Yeah
Ayo
Gather round

All my people on code, locked in
Cryptography
Midnight, ink to mahogany
I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe
If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly
My people on code, locked in
Cryptography
Midnight, ink to mahogany
I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe
If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly
My people on code, locked in
Cryptography

City house, village homes
Motherlands, to the clouds, to the globe
We are damned, disavowed and disowned
But to tap ain't allowed, it's the code
Tired of the old
When the tyres hit the road
We'll retire and dispose
Suit and ties who oppose what we tirelessly grow
I don't advertise what I own
I just advertise what I know
It's asinine when you gloat
It's classist and I can't align with them folks
If you're gassin' us to resist
But want passiveness in approach
It's cowardice under clothes
Strip down and it's status with the quo
I'm the baddest with the flow
It's unanimously known
I could say that with Diana's lasso wrapped around my throat
It's an infraction to myself to give a half and not the whole
Dawg, I'm African, don't make me get my ancestors involved
God's gift is stamped on me, I'm Okechukwu
And I don't need brands on me, my name is FUBU
And not to be confused with Anansi or voodoo
Nah its juju in my nation
It's the kind of doodoo that you do not wanna play with
And if you do do it on an occasion
You might get that doodoo upon all your generations
It bonds to you like Connery
Only way that I'm xenophobic
Is cos surrender's a foreign notion
I've never known it or given motion to quittin' or an apology
The thought of it is comedy
Cos we be on code, locked in

Cryptography
Midnight, ink to mahogany
I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe
If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly
My people on code, locked in
Cryptography
Midnight, ink to mahogany
I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe
If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly
My people on code, locked in

Flyin' business class upon these planes of parallel existence
You can tell that we've resisted every hell and each condition
It became a kind of ritual to excel in each position
Every time they held us down
We never fell into submission
Swung from high to low
Now back to highest is the mission
Duck alliances cos of the biases within them
Some of them will lie or just cry at the lightest criticism
Producin' they truest colors like a light within a prism
Or a white within a prison
Nah
I know that they just followin' codes
Like cops, when people of colour involved
Stop
Kinda like prey and predator hydrate together at the watering hole
You heard it somewhere, you swear
But never did care to think of it logically though
That's what we call privilege
If that stirs the hate in you
You're cooked, and prolly bigoted
"But Blacks can be racist too!"
F**k outta here with that gibberish
The fact is if you separate your ego from your pigment
Then perhaps it wouldn't take a little rap for me to trigger it
Aura feelin' infinite
Homies want some proximity
To cop them just a little bit
But I'm constant with the discipline
And they probably couldn't stick to it
With epoxy resin in the mix
I am just built a little different
And I distill knowledge
Then I pour it til the brim filled
Then I'm drinkin' it
Wonderin' where anybody this filled with the spirit is
Or maybe this skilled with the rhythmic
They takin' it low but we stay high
That bit is binary
Cos we be on code locked in

Cryptography
Midnight, ink to mahogany
I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe
If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly
My people on code, locked in
Cryptography
Midnight, ink to mahogany
I'll be damned if I'm troubled by a wannabe
If you see us fold, then you watchin' an anomaly
My people on code, locked in
Cryptography

Yeah
Locked in, cryptography
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
And I'll be damned if my people gon' fold
Cos my people on code, locked in
