Talk Is Cheap (feat. Tim Dillon, Lucee & Mykah Estelle)

You must establish a new base And we are as a group demanding That a new base be established Yeah but be careful as a woman What you demand of a man I demand that he be a man Yeah but you can't say You demand it You have to suggest it That that's your ego that says that No I demand it Now you deal with that Alright Ok I'll even go with that I demand that you be a man And I don't think that that's Asking too much Talk is cheap I wanna see The difference in us honestly Fightin white supremacy While chasin money power cheeks Yall really bout this revolution and equality Or just wish that you could split The pie and get the biggest piece All colors creeds Gay bisexual straight Every man upon the planet Walks a privileged way Peep that wisdom from our sisters Mister get off the stage Take a seat and take some notes As women gift us with rage It's difficult to listen Even harder to change But I know a God with power To call men up out the grave Don't need no fake religion Homies frontin like they godly All these Huxtables is really Undercover Cosbys Even Cosby is not too destitute for grace But the truth can't set you free If you keep lyin out yo face Just admit it I got plenty dirt and blood on my hands I done hurt so many of my family Lovers and friends Consequences when you foolish Can't always restore the ruins But you can build something new If you switch up the way you movin I'll never be the brother That I shoulda been to Ariel But a lot of younger chirren Really countin on me now I'll keep it real I aint the quickest to change A tortoise on you hares But you should see where I came The Lord is able To make an Abel out of a Cain I still be messin up But not defined by my mistakes A righteous man get up Every time he fall on his face Steady learnin I'm determined And love is never too late I been checkin my heart I been diggin so deep Tell me what kinda man Am I really gon be Whenever I fall I get back on my feet By the grace of my God Ima be a new me I been checkin my heart I been diggin so deep Tell me what kinda man Am I really gon be Whenever I fall I get back on my feet By the grace of my God Ima be a new me Talk is cheap I don't need your compliments Or your flattery Treat women disgusting But you frontin and callin me queen You only friendly Because you feelin my steeze Your kindness would disappear If you didn't want in my jeans I'm making moves Got visions and prophesies Foolish if you think we just be feinin For diamonds rings Don't want no sugar daddy I'm growin some healthy greens Get up outa my lane Or invest in the dream Need homies and business partners Who aint tryin to hit it But committed to equality And leverage their privilege To help women raise to leadership They try to omit us Even when we more than capable And doing it better I'm so tired of oppression I aint come here to ask I'm demanding that you give us What we already have Dignity and that's it Aint no need to protect Just stop preying on us And I'm pretty sure we'll be set Shouldn't have to be your Momma wifey daughter or sis To receive respect and honor Every human should get I been checkin my heart I been diggin so deep Tell me what kinda man Am I really gon be Whenever I fall I get back on my feet By the grace of my God Ima be a new me Aye talk is cheap You see the The strange flesh Had turned us to strange fruits You treat me estranged Yet I still pick you like strange roots Community full of pain And the stigma like stained juice We joint but remain loose And it feel like the same noose Check your heart at the thought of me Check your mouth when you joke And why your pride in your money Knowing they keeping us broke Why I tip toe around yo ego In my Jordans You don't wanna talk about it Talk about avoidance Know money power don't mean respect You need to wake up And love if I'm a bitch Cause I don't like you Need to shape up Think men show no emotion But you really wear yo heart on yo sleeve Don't need to argue bout respect We need to learn how to grieve And we can't climb out of this hole If the shovels is still digging We lack but we still winning We black but we still women They label us angry Them mean queen Corettas We the daughters of slaves And the wives of female forgetters I been checkin my heart I been diggin so deep Tell me what kinda man Am I really gon be Whenever I fall I get back on my feet By the grace of my God Ima be a new me I been checkin my heart I been diggin so deep Tell me what kinda man Am I really gon be Whenever I fall I get back on my feet By the grace of my God Ima be a new me
