Let me write my own Exodus
Where my father is a Moses with an impetus
And his visionary staff is a black Lexus
Teaching me oneness with the most high God, yeah
There were times when I did mess up
He would ask me to drink of his wrathful cup
No room for mistakes, yeah, no time to talk
That crown of salvation, it cannot drop, no
And on the way home we chop Gala
Believing the white man's way is much better
He raised his right hand to part waters
Now I'm in a strange land with some kind manner
To be an international flexer
Let my culture be my own visa
And I know my name's a tongue twister, right, baby? Oh
Life of an international flexer
Ride the waves like a soul surfer
Do I keep the change and the offer to see things
Internationally?
My mother say
"The white man, e don dada
You match im shoe, im no fear to cause drama
Though you suffering and smiling na im own Prada
Head down, read book and you go hammer", but
The truth became a lot clearer
Yeah, we're all victims and perpetrators
Of a story that allows for the class matter to be
That one man's king and one man's lesser
So go to school, shake the hands of a white teacher
They've got answers, maybe someday it'll be vise-versa
But from where I stand, life goes a lot deeper than
Status claiming like it's much sweeter
To be an international flexer
Let my culture be my own visa
And I know my name's a tongue twister, right, baby? Oh
Life of an international flexer
Ride the waves like a soul surfer
Do I keep the change and the offer to see things
Internationally?
To be an international flexer
Let my culture be my own visa
And I know my name's a tongue twister, right, baby? Oh
Life of an international flexer
Ride the waves like a soul surfer
Do I keep the change and the offer to see things
Internationally?
