BLACKEST BLACK

Blackest black, that's the only shade I wear

Walk in late, they still saving me a chair

You can look, baby, I don't mind the stare

Blackest black, and I'm going nowhere

Blackest black, from my nails to my ride

Got the whole room quiet when I slide

I don't chase, I don't call, I don't try

Blackest black, and you still can't see inside

Florin Road, sunroof back, moving slow

Light rail passing by and I already know

Mama made adobo, daddy played the soul

Two kitchens in one house, that's why I'm so whole

I ain't ever had to pick, I just took it all

Tagalog on Sunday when my lola call

Matte black on the whip, no chrome, no shine

Tint so dark you gotta guess if it's mine

He text "wyd," I left it on read (mm)

I was in my robe with a mask on instead

Peace is expensive and I pay it on time

You want my attention? Get in line

Blackest black, that's the only shade I wear

Walk in late, they still saving me a chair

You can look, baby, I don't mind the stare

Blackest black, and I'm going nowhere

Sacramento heat, hundred five in July

I'm in all black anyway, I don't even try

Girls at the mall asking "where you get that?"

Thrifted it on Stockton, put a stitch in the back

First time on a record, I was only on the hook

Twelve seconds long and that was all it took

Now they know the voice before they know the face

That's the way I like it, I'ma keep my space

Soft voice, heavy step, that's the whole trick

I don't raise it up, I just let it sit

You don't have to be loud

To be the only one they hear

(Blackest black)

Blackest black, that's the only shade I wear

Walk in late, they still saving me a chair

You can look, baby, I don't mind the stare

Blackest black, and I'm going nowhere

Blackest black, from my nails to my ride

Blackest black, and you still can't see inside
