Ice Cream (feat. Raheem DeVaughn) - Cupid

Yeah, ooh Mighty, mighty Magnolia (T-H-A) I was sittin' up under these trees She was talkin' to me, said "Son do you know who I am? Who I happen to be?" And I told her, "The Might Magnolia that stand tall for the shoulders of slaves" "And soldiers when the days get colder" I'm so older but I'm young in my spirit From the blood I'd hear it From Mr. Malcolm, Garvey and Marley Then she started to tell me How she was used in the lynching of blacks Branch cracked, broke her arms so his neck would snap And if I wouldn't rap I'd probably meet the same damn fate From the same damn rope, I'm 'bout the same damn weight I said, "Wait man, wait" I still got the nooses just loose and they tighten that bitch up When I'm speakin' the truth They need proof that God exist So I gave The God Box It ain't shit hard as this, it ain't shit hard as this Flick a wrist, I flick a brick An O, I still get this dough These bitches know Everywhere we go it's Mississippi ho Peace the dro This some old outer space ballin', spacecraft callin' Black George Jetson Juice City Jack kawin' Paintin' pictures of scriptures I know that y'all missed us Crackers out here stackin' they army Tryna enlist us You pissed us off enough to click up on your ass The last shall be first and the first shall be last No average, no savage, this King Mula Billion-dollar freedom fighter And I take it if I gotta nigga Cracker Oh, Mother Magnolia Your daughters and your sons May the sky start cryin' As they hung lifeless from your arms Please Mother Magnolia Although the fruit is strange It's been such a long time comin' But will the seasons ever change? Let me try to offer y'all a whole 'nother perspective really quick Now this African American officer was an undercover Who lost a little brother because of a gang color Which eventually accelerated the cancer that killed his mother And he was married to a white woman that they called a nigga lover And it became a full time job not to kill a nigga I wonder does he still consider that he's still a nigga We all got choices, and the real recognize what's real and chose But he's basically still undercover in his civilian clothes All the right reasons But he may not even get that love again 'Cause salary's still not enough to be a Republican Issues of growin' up without a dad Had one too many, one night and forgot his badge A brawl ensued with a racist cop Didn't stop and ask He was sure that he was a nigga when he shot his ass Oh, Mother Magnolia Your daughters and your sons May the sky start cryin' As they hung lifeless from your arms Please Mother Magnolia Although the fruit is strange It's been such a long time comin' But will the seasons ever change? If a tree could speak It's probably shed a tear and weep For the skin like mine For being there behind Confederate lines Mighty Magnolia Mighty Magnolia
