Tobe Nwigwe - Father Figure

[Verse 1: Tobe Nwigwe]

Look, I can do in days what may take them years

I done parted ways with those who move in fear

Hard to go astray when the vision's clear

Lowkey they might have to throw parades when I'm no longer here

This for the gangsters and the hustlers and the block bleeders

Ain't got a bar for a mark, unless it's Noxzema

If they ain't tweaking when you speaking, you cannot feature

Push a Hyundai Accent, like I can't afford a drop Beamer

Why? 'Cause it ain't about the car, it's 'bout the confidence

All my consonants are consequently due to confidence in

Elohim, though the metal bring me a peace of mind

We survived places that demonize feeble minds for what should be legalized

I'm, heh, just sayin', dawg, this big ol' facts

Be wary of the trap with cheese, 'cause there's big old rats

Ay, look, lowkey you could touch more cheese than a grater

Have some paper, but if you're known for hoin' your partners, you still big ol' trash

The real gon' understand, I pray the fake gon' listen

If you the fraud on your squad, you still can change positions

Before I had a pot to piss in or this diction

I envisioned every piece of fruit I brought into fruition

If you hatin', dawg, you trippin'

Garnered recognition with my missus, word to Jigga

I swear they'll have my art in exhibitions in a minute

Not just a rapper to these rappers, I swear I'm they father figure

I'm gone

[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe]

Yeah, I'm your father figure, ooh

I swear I'm your father figure, ooh

No, no, you, you, I'm your father figure

Not just a rapper to these rappers, I swear I'm they father figure

Ooh

[Verse 2: Black Thought]

Dearly beloved, if it's merely a budget, I'm clearly above it

My skin and my hair is Nigerian colored

And does what a Aryan's doesn't

If you purely a puppet

Then you'll really be stuck in end, you a suffix

I don't want to be toughest

I'll just keep it a hundred and think nothing of it

Timidly talkin' ain't part of my chemistry

I'm a OG, is you kiddin' me?

I see what you givin' me, B

It's your liberty still, but I see its stupidity

You lackin' humility, seeking validity, shake the mistaken identity

These lackin' ability jokers is killin' me, literally wastin' my energy

That's only a fact, they'll never hold me, I only adapt

You shouldn't have told me ya homie could rap

They shouldn't have shown me to Tobe and Fat

I'm blacker than black or packaging crack

Or packing the MAC in the back of the Ac'

I'm sayin' I'm somethin' spectacular

Don't at me, I'm biomolecular

Don't Google the aftermath, don't bother

Everything left on the floor is the lava

These nuts, George Washington Carver

What you want, boy? I'm a piranha

I'm a pariah, I am Nirvana

I am a king coming out of Wakanda

I'll run into you on tour, it's a problem

I'ma be honest, I am your father figure

[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe & Black Thought]

Yeah, I'm your father figure, ooh

I swear I'm your father figure, ooh

No, no, you you, I'm your father figure

Not just a rapper to these rappers, I swear I'm they father figure

Ooh

[Verse 3: Royce da 5'9]

African estate grass and grapes, masculine the slave, master hate

Exactly when they emasculate, congratulate gay, amass the hate

As the black lady ass'll shake, they fascinated, they masturbate

The black parade straight exacerbates

The actual hate they imaginate

That's when they racist asses straight, harass us as they evacuate

Imagine wearing they mask somewhere

Can't imagine making it past the day

Hell is hated, Heaven's a elevated melanated masquerade

We celebrate, they'll vaccinate, you separate, they assassinate

Weapons mastered, yes, they active, yes, they matter, Maj Toure

Rep they blackness, leather jackets, black beret

Pastor Mase, Ice Cube, Jam Master Jay

Trunks of jewelry, come through and truly

Trump security, Grand Master Jay

Gucci conned me out of Luciano, to Armani, I'm a moulinyano

Drove her out to hit the Neimans in Cabo

Scope the model, made her Venus De Milo

Spend a lot at the palazzo

Send you hollow semi-autos, powder blue Diablo

Probably pop a cop or two to honor Breonna and Amadou Diallo

They tracking the African breed to patent the seeds

They snatching the apple from Adam and Eve to patent the seeds

Attack chemically, then patent disease

I rep murder, violence, methane bars, jet stream God

You rep Turtle Island, just ain't y'alls, Epstein's log

And that king talk, my queen shopping in LA

See me out in that green drop, that thing not a Chevy

Beam on top of that slingshot, Glock sing soft as Dwele

And things start to fall apart like Chinua Achebe

[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe]

Yeah, I'm your father figure, ooh

I swear I'm your father figure, ooh

No, no, you, you, I'm your father figure

Not just a rapper to these rappers, I swear I'm they father figure

Ooh
