[Verse 1]
I am the provo king, the leader of the unknown beings
I am exactly what the fuck you're thinkin' provo means
The line I walk is thinner than a fuckin' yo-yo string
So what the fuck is crazy? For me there's no such thing
So much emotion, I can sense it but it's so unseen
Cause when the other side is callin', your phone don't ring
You know what my logo means, wear more than some Polo jeans
Somethin', somethin', somethin', virtuoso dreams
The tubes is knockin', you pillow talkin in red, white and blue pajamas
Sometimes I'm super honest, cause I can't be who you want me to be
Or how they want me to speak
Yeah I'm a free thinker, that's why they're comin' for me
Yeah you n***as asleep, that's why I'm callin' you sheep
Deep fry your mind, you a human omelette with cheese
The all seein' eye, the beast monitors me
Your mama, your daddy, your auntie, your uncle, your neice

[Hook]
And a n***a came up, lookin' in the street lights
Tryna dodge a gun, and the judge and police lights
We out here starvin' tryna find a way to eat right
'Bout to touch the sky, let a n***a get his feet right
N***a came up, n***a came up
I said a n***a came up, a n***a came up
A n***a came up, lookin' at the street lights
Tryna survive another night on the east side
And we out here starvin' tryna find a way to eat right
'Bout to touch the sky, let a n***a get his feet right
A n***a came up, a n***a came up
I said a n***a came up, a n***a came up
[Verse 2]
Redeem myself for who? Redeem myself for you?
Redeem myself for your squad? Redeem myself for your crew?
I'm tradin' blows with a giant, I'm in the ring with a deuce
I broke myself out the chains, I cut myself out the noose
So fuck your slanted review, you write at home in your room
So busy spreadin' the hate, you end up missin' the truth
You mothafuckas can shove it, I never back down for nothin'
The man got his hand up your pants, you just a puppet
I'm throwin' a fit and fussin' cause n***as killin' their cousin
Make it worse, he just a kid, kid of your mama's brother
Ask the world, can I live, live, live? No discussion
'Fore they put you in the picture, first they gotta check the color
Where are your rights that get left in the dust?
They get the cheese and don't throw us the crust
Plus sayin' please doesn't make it a must
So we get strapped, give me buck or I bust

[Hook]

[Bridge] x2
Dark skinned n***a, light skinned n***a
Don't mean shit when the light man hit yah
I said dark skinned n***a, light skinned n***a
See you on the news, hope your white friends miss you
Cause a n***a came up
