I see how it ran me, how this greed s**** understands me. How it got in my bones from my granddaddy's dispossession, that scarcity. So, today of all days to feed grandmama new seeds, I release this motherf******' hungry ghost of greeeeeeeed!
I see how it ran me. How this program understands me. How it's not just money, it's everything. It's on everything. It's on women, it's ideas, it's food. Man, please, but not no more.
It's still everywhere, but we off that 'cause I fully see how it fed on me, that scarcity, that "I ain't gon' have nothin'," so I hoard, that "these n***** gon' steal it," so I store.
I had it all, still felt like I needed more. Had the show...I wanted more. Had my lady, and my other lady. I still felt like I needed more.
I know it was all above board, we all read the books, we was honest, everything, but, but, you know, but grandmama, I won't bore you with the details.
The point is we not on that no more. From now on, I'm askin' OG before I take even one drop more.
See, I'm second. I'm on my little brother s****. You know, "take a little bit when mama not lookin" type s****. You know "do it 'cause I can get away with it" type s****, n****. You know, greed.
That sheisty s****, but, you know, cute with it. That I'm tryna be a king, but toxically 'cause I'm, like, tryna be like Kemele 'cause he got this thing, he got that thing, you know. That I could be him... I can live his whole story. I can have this land here and I could have hers over there. And it'll be ours everywhere. We can't grow zucchini.
N****, greed. But Easter told me it's time to be like the bee...work for your own food 'cause your own food the most sweet and give what you receive.
So today, in front of all y'all, in the sight of the star, the Earth, the egungun, kiki, egungun.
Greed (moment of pause).
It is released.
