lyrics

Ah narolane haha…

Ah ah
I’ve never been to Mexico
But I know you Cancun
And I’m coming back soon
So you need to make room
And I’ve never been to Kosovo
But you know we Balkan
You handle my Shere Khan
Colder than your snow man

I’ve never been to Mexico
But I know you Cancun
And I’m coming back soon
So you need to make room
Never been to Kosovo
But you know we Balkan
You handle my Shere Khan
Colder than your snow man

Huh
Sometimes
Man I think I’m Kanye, sometimes
Might rub you the wrong way
Sometimes
Huh?
Just sometimes
Man I think I’m Kanye, sometimes
Might rub you the wrong way
Sometimes
Not afraid of crossing
Some lines
Just, huh
Sometimes

Zunguzunguguzunguzeng
You can bite my flow but we’re not the same
Might hate it but you can say my name
Unfortunately I can’t say the same
C H A I L A
Be your own advocate because not today
Satan
I made my lane
I’m ethereal I’m on another plane
Young titan
Never bow to Zeus or Poseidon
Swords, sceptres or tridents
Strider, return of the king
Bun liars,
Worm tails worm tongues
I’m tired
Dora Milaje, call me Akata
Got my Bushidō, heart of Assata
I am the shogun, studied Bambara
Child of the soil and the child of my father uh

I’ve never been to Mexico
But I know you Cancun
And I’m coming back soon
So you need to make room
Never been to Kosovo
But you know we Balkan
You handle my Shere Khan
Colder than your snow man

Huh
Sometimes
Man I think I’m Kanye, sometimes
Might rub you the wrong way
Sometimes
Huh?
Just sometimes
Man I think I’m Kanye, sometimes
Might rub you the wrong way
Sometimes
Not afraid of crossing some lines
Just huh, sometimes

Your transphobia is whack your homophobia is whack
We see through you
My parents respect me way too much for me to ever entertain what you do
Black Knight, on a quantum level
Grounded but I never settle
Don’t Hyde, but I just might Jekyll
Divine; I correct the devil
If I can rob you of your dominance then you stole it to begin with
You make way too many assumptions
Did I ever say I was cis?
Don’t take leave of your common sense
Cause you know that I can act right
Give me one reason to go Gotham and this isn’t staying polite

Huh,
Sometimes
Man I think I’m Kanye, sometimes
Might rub you the wrong way
Sometimes
Huh uh
Sometimes
Man, I think I’m Kanye, sometimes
Might rub you the wrong way
Sometimes
Not afraid of crossing
Some lines
Uh Sometimes


I’ve never been to Mexico
But I know you Cancun
And I’m coming back soon
So you need to make room
Never been to Kosovo
But you know we Balkan
You handle my Shere Khan
Colder than your snow man

Huh
Sometimes
Man, I think I’m Kanye, sometimes
Might rub you the wrong way
Sometimes huh?
Just sometimes
Man, I think I’m Kanye, sometimes
Might rub you the wrong way
Not afraid of crossing
Some lines
Just, sometimes
