Juneteenth (also known as Freedom Day) is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the southern United States that had formed the Confederacy.
lyrics
Pull up to the party in my new sneaks
Plenty women here, I’m talking two a piece
About to make it rain until the roof leaks
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
Top five nigga D.O.A
I’m just down south stacking up my Frito-Lay
It’s people out here eating, I want me a taste
Promise any drought or a recession, we gonna be okay
Lord protect me from the devil leading me astray
Occupations insecure, I’m talking Issa Rae
But I’m a hustler so the money is coming either way
Coming from deserted land, that stress is just a piece of cake
Now I need my forty acres, now I need a lake
Parisian maids, two mimosas baby, s’il vous plait
Black man flourishing, they never thought they’d see the day
Back when America was fighting not to free the slaves
Now we popping Ace of Spades, pour it on their graves
Make them devils mad, use a rebel flag to wipe my J’s
Let me turn on my location if you don’t like my ways
I ain’t ask for none of your acceptance, let me ride my wave
And get out my way
Pull up to the party in my new sneaks
Plenty women here, I’m talking two a piece
About to make it rain until the roof leaks
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
Put a finger to the ceiling if you’re feeling free
Presidential treatment in the V.I.P
Platinum status, they don’t never need to see ID
They know we notorious for doing it B-I-G
That’s just automatic, ain’t no static from the P-I-G’s
Ain’t it crazy how they hate you but they want to be you
They just love your art, fake smiling like the Mona Lisa
You want the movie, then you’ve got to take the bonus features
Gotta post it on the Gram, because if we don’t you won’t believe us
We savvy to them serpents so they won’t deceive us
Humble once upon a time but now we do them so egregious
Be hold a genius, hood famous, we the chosen leaders
Everybody’s working in my circle, we dispose of leeches
Make a toast to the days when we were broke dreamers
And all my niggas who ain’t make it that was supposed to meet us
If you ask me why I’m flashy in my lifestyle
You could not imagine all the times I prayed for right now
Pull up to the party in my new sneaks
Plenty women here, I’m talking two a piece
About to make it rain until the roof leaks
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
Put a finger to the ceiling if you’re feeling free
Listen when the truth speaks, guidance often comes in silence
You don’t really want equality, you want compliance
That’s why I made the soundtrack for the defiant
Put passion over plaques and my blackness over tyrants
Cast stones at giants, flash bombs and sirens
Black poems and pride, we won’t last long divided
Our pasts prone to violence because we been fighting all our lives
Any moment of trouble know I can call my tribe
For every time they made you doubt if you was qualified
We gonna make sure they can see us balling, don’t apologize
First they colonize, then they want to compromise
Try to jock the vibe, I’ll be honest though, I’m not surprised
Pull up to the party in my new sneaks
Plenty women here, I’m talking two a piece
About to make it rain until the roof leaks
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
And we gonna get it popping like it’s Juneteenth
Put a finger to the ceiling if you’re feeling free
