"My nose wide as the Red Sea (Red Sea)
Lips full, fillers don't fill me (Fill me)
Soon as my cousin killer's on trial (Woah)
Family gon' pull 'em sitting courtside
Godsend they say, we singing la-la-la
Don't want no vultures on our si-i-ide
Looking black as the messi-i-iah
I got time...When we die, where do my people go?
To the stars where they can't steal your glow
When we die, where do my people go?
To the stars where they can't steal your glow
