To all my ethnic women of colour
Trust, you're a stunner
Especially when the skin glows there in the summer
But I still tell my bruddas dem take time
Not every wife you can bring to the mother
Got every man after the bad Bs
Me I still pree for the bookstore lover
Cah you want a girl like RiRi
I want a girl like Zarah Sultana
Yeah, one for the labour
Likkle bit of nerd flare there for the flavour
And if you don't read text on the paper
It's an ex ting like my name Xavier
Got my friends doing English-Lit
Sending man voicenotes about colonisation
And I'm there like "yeah man it's lit"
I love learning new things when I'm in conversation
But, that's a different vibration
If the vibe vacant, tell her don't force it
If it ain't anime or Jeremy Corbyn
Tell 'em that the call there's nothing important
Chilling in Shoreditch, cardiac tough
Cah the price of the slush there suttin' appalling
Feeling extorted, hoodwinked
It's a good thing that a man was ballin
But I still got my eye on the NOCTA puffer
Same colour as Jimmy from the Jailhouse
Royalties I get paid out, spud the Gs and then bail out
Yeah, showed her unreleased I'm her fave now
Redundant G's say I've changed, saying I've changed now
But that's cap, still the same old me
That was making figurines out of Lego from Gundam
Just cause I glowed up clean, now they
Figured that I move prestige, what a silly assumption
Ever since Emerald Green, I been
Repping for the nerds and the neeks and it's never reluctant
PvP or the RPG man will EXP glitch that dungeon
Wait, I been on the grind like a hundred days
Trynna switch flows like a hundred ways
Trynna turn blackness to something great
While these podcast niggas in the sunken place
I just show love on my sleeve it's bait
But when that love come back around it's great
It's great, that's why I always got love for my dargs
Like my G there in a hijab getting married in July
She said "Wale please could you hop on a flight"
I just said "God's grace", she said 'insha'Allah"
Mum always told me life was a par
Cah when you get older, life's on a path
That might separate you from the OGs
You gotta plan meet-ups months in advance
And I was like "rah"
Cah I still got my eye on that NOCTA puffer
Same colour as Jimmy from the Jailhouse
Royalties I get paid out, spud the Gs and then bail-out
Yeah, I showed her unreleased I'm her fave now
Redundant Gs saying I've changed, saying I've changed now
Look, spud the Gs and then bail out
Showed her unreleased I'm her fave now
Redundant Gs say I've changed, saying I've changed now
But back to my women of colour
Said you're a stunner, especially in summer
But I still tell my bruddas dem take time
Not every wife you can bring to the mother
Got every man after the bad Bs
Me I still pree for the bookstore lover
Cah you want a girl like RiRi, I want a girl like Michelle Obama
