lyrics

What are you thinking when you look at me
Six Four, Black, had dreaded hair
What’s your conviction? Is it crook you see
That puts your whole family in intensive care
Don't you see I’m college educated
And my conversation’s polished, entertaining
Or do you see a criminal in True Religion Jeans
Who’s a shooter, nothing spiritual for superficial means
God forbid, I wear a hoodie, you might shoot me in the back
Cause I gotta be strapped right? Am I really that type
Ignoring who I could be? Yeah, that truly is a fact
When I follow God to act right, I’m about that life
Yet my hoodie & Timbs are scrutinized
While some brother’s in a suit and tie from 2 to five
Teaches after school sessions where he has kids molested
And it’s not all about appearance and it’s proven why
Know it’s Famous, Crooks and Castles and it’s Stussy when I bought ‘em
I’m not into wearing flannel, it’s just hoodies in the Autumn
And I like ‘em black mostly, I don’t need to be assaulted
By some neighborhood watch that the court would be have exalted
So you know the reason for parole
I was put to death but freed by Jesus in my soul
Black hoodie rap, my version of church clothes
Kill all misconceptions with the verse though

I know this is addictive, speakers are on blast
But to be specific, this is ain’t from the trap
No crack in this backpack, Yahweh leads my path
And I won’t be your Trayvon bringing these hoodies back
When I’m talking that
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
Black Hoodie Rap
When I’m talkin’ that
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
Black Hoodie Rap. Black
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
This is that Black Hoodie Rap
This is that Black Hoodie stance
Whether it’s hipster, thugged out, rocker
I am more much more than that
This is that Black Hoodie rap
It's radical for God’s plan
This ain’t that Jewish vs. Gentile
This ain’t ‘bout race or class

This is a public service announcement
From Beat Council and Dreadlock Slimmm
Even in the club, there’s a purpose about them
We ‘Follow the Leader’, don’t expect Rakim
Or even Eric B. For President
No comparison to a God that's excellent
My Propaganda in the lyrics where it’s evidenced
I could look gangsta but be a gentleman even in my sentiments
Even in the beat that got them speakers trembling
I could speak a word in your life for God to enter in
I’m too much of a rapper to be used like reverends
Well they thought the white boy couldn’t rap, now he’s Eminem
N.w.a’s in my ‘Roots’, gave me Adrenaline
But I turned Jay, not Snoop. That was my preference
Black hoodie rap though I got a different walk
Looking like I’m bumping Weezy when I listen to Bjork
And that’s even in New York
Know me well, know the opposite of everything you thought
Know me well, know the Christ I’m serving with my people
With tattoos and street dudes who barely dress Gq
God made me radical so you could hear him
So judge me by this appearance
I’m wearing my heart on my sleeve and my art on my knees
For the harvest indeed with the heart that’s redeemed

I know this is addictive, speakers are on blast
But to be specific, this is ain’t from the trap
No crack in this backpack, Yahweh leads my path
And I won’t be your Trayvon bringing these hoodies back
When I’m talking that
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
Black Hoodie Rap
When I’m talkin’ that
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
Black Hoodie Rap. Black
Black Hoodie Rap. Yeah
This is that Black Hoodie Rap
This is that Black Hoodie stance
Whether it’s hipster, thugged out, rocker
I am more much more than that
This is that Black Hoodie rap
It's radical for God’s plan
This ain’t that Jewish vs. Gentile
This ain’t ‘bout race or class
This is that Black Hoodie Rap
This is that Black Hoodie stance
Whether it’s hipster, thugged out, rocker
I am more much more than that
This is that Black Hoodie rap
It's radical for God’s plan
This ain’t that Jewish vs. Gentile
This ain’t ‘bout race or class
