Original
Empires built on blood stained ground. Kanye West, I pray they all fall down.
London Bridge, they tryin' to cross you now. Don't crash out, Dirty Diana.
Dirty Diana.
I got the hammer.
-I know it's polarizing. -You know.
I miss my nana.
-She used to tell me 'bout a- -Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea, beach, the summer breeze. They say honesty's the best policy, okay.
Say it.
Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea, beach, the summer breeze.
They say honesty's the best policy, okay.
Say it.
Promise me you won't gun me down. Promise me you won't gun me down.
Promise me you won't gun me down. Promise me you won't gun me down.
Promise me you won't gun me down. Promise me you won't gun me down. Promise me you won't gun me down.
Anti-establishment, crackers on that shady shit.
-You know it.
-Crackers watch me work and break my back -and said they made me rich. -You know it.
Crackers tax my pockets with tax and said they made me rich.
Cracker jack this here on the show, then box me in with shell my shit like that, -man. Don't let 'em trouble you. -Don't let 'em trouble you.
-America front on you. -It's gonna be okay.
I know it befuddle you. But don't let it get to you.

-Know that they miserable.
-And know that behind every smile, they -thinkin' 'bout killin' you. -Say it.

Go -on 'head say it. -Nigga.
Thuggish nigga, rugged nigga, covered nigga, love a nigga, kiss a nigga, hug a nigga, if you fine, then fuck a nigga.

Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea, beach, the summer breeze.
They say honesty's the best policy, okay.
