Mogadishu - Black Panther, E Dot

What up, black?

Yo, it’s your brother.

How you doing fool?

Things cool?

Boys tell me that you be playing pool at the school

run up a debt and get my peoples upset at you.

Make ‘em mack a fool

I’m sorry for leaving all the crumbs that I did

But ma, she acting bugged, thinking that I do a bid

Wanting to march in my life with no fun, saying

I be doing rugs and acting trifling for fun

So I’m flashing—something I gotta do with my crew

Sipping brew with much to do

Getting respect that ma do.

She never gave me, true?

The only man I wanted in our life was some presidents on loot

So I call to say that «I'mma miss you

Yo, I joined the army and I’m off to Mogadishu

To be all that I can be—bloom into March flower

Goodbye, tomorrah.

0-six-hundred hours»

(Hello?) Yo, it’s me again.

Don’t know why I’m calling.

Feels as though I’ve

fallen

(Stress has got you off and out of shape?) Oh man.

I love tomorrah.

I’m killing mental reasons I don’t understand

I wanna speak to mama about the sweaters—it's cold

Rather sling ‘caine than be a vet.

I think I changed my mind

I wanna come home and stay the century

Go back out now.

Home’s a penitentiary

I’m all confused.

Self-abusing got me tripping

Feel myself slipping, man, into the grip of sand

let me go.

Don’t wanna leave ‘em fucked up, dog

‘Cause me and the block star ‘cause now I can see far

I apologize for all I’ve done.

Now you the only one

That’s thinking «How ‘bout ma?»

But I hope to return

Sporting garments of metals, sipping gin letting butterflies settle

So give my mother my love and, brother, hope for the best.

To get

Head off this mess, I’ll need an «S» on my chest

And I know that you with me in mind, love—it's faith

I’m out.

Peace and elevate

It’s all about love for the game, for the family

For papa—he made a man of me

For mama.

It’s real, black

Fuck what you heard ‘cause this is real fact

Love for the game, for the family

For papa—he made a man of me

For mama.

It’s real, black

Fuck what you heard ‘cause this is real fact
