Tranquilizer

[Intro]

Sometimes I gotta vent, I don't have no one to talk to

Gotta put my pride aside just to call you

These piano keys, they study me well

Kids, listen up, I got some stories to tell

[Verse 1]

This bitch said my woman not black, uh

Because she light skinned with her hair down her back, uh

See, growing up, none of us niggas cared about that, uh

We all off the Top Ramen

We all in apartments looking at Martin on broke recliners (I know she know)

I say, "What's your feelings on that?", she say, "Fuck them hoes"

She say it's sad to see black women act different to other black women

Clashing and color ad-libbing to fuck over each other

When half of our mothers' conditions did the dirty work for us

"So what’s the dirty work?", she said, "Nigga, we insecure

From a grown man’s insecurity

Lack of profession, lack of maturity

Manipulation like sex the only reason for you and me

We tolerate this

Your perception of bad bitches make us hate the next bitch

So I ain't mad when they be mad, and speaking on me

Take a jab, because I got heart and I look the part with a lookin' ass"

I understand it's deeper than colorism

I said, "What about the ones that pray?", she said, "Fuck them bitches"

"'Cause they be praying on your downfall, wannabe feminists, turn into serpents around y'all"

Maybe I'm sensitive, maybe observant, maybe I'm flawed, maybe been through too much

Living life in the ghetto as a woman kept us in cuffs

Cause the light-skins get picked on, the dark-skins don't get picked

Whoever choose sides need to die so we can exist

[Chorus]

Some of you niggas need tranquilizer

Some of you bitches need tranquilizer

Some of you crackers need tranquilizer

And I vow to put you all down

You got me fucked up

And I vow to put you all down

[Verse 2]

I seen the liars, I seen the opportunists, I seen the tired

I seen my own flesh and blood try to sue me

I seen it coming, this day made desires

I give and give 'till I can't give no more

Then forget to forgive once I don't feel no more

Who took advantage of you?

How foul do you gotta play to get a W?

They'll smile in your mother's face, then try and hustle you

Wish I can make this all up, I cannot share enough of me

It was them versus us (Us), had to swap out my company

No more, you fuck with me

Maybe I'm too sensitive, forever live would be trill

Especially when my intentions is to set sail

The family fortune further would go, but that's a fantasy

I'm fortunate, 'cause now I know

[Chorus]

Some of you niggas need tranquilizer

Some of you bitches need tranquilizer

Some of you crackers need tranquilizer

And I vow to put you all down

You got me fucked up

And I vow to put you all down

[Outro]

Sometimes I vent

She said, "Whatever you feel right now, just vent"

He said, "However you feel right now, just..."

She said, "Whatever you feel right now, just vent"

And I vow to put you all down
