[Intro]
Oh
Oh

[Verse 1]
Empires built on bloodstained ground
Kanye West, I pray they all fall down (Uh-huh)
London Bridge, they’re tryna cross you now (Uh-huh)
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 her

[Chorus]
Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea
Beats the summer blaze, they say
Honesty the best policy, okay (Say)
Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea
Beats the summer blaze, they say
Honesty the best policy, okay (Say)

[Post-Chorus]
Promise me you won’t gun me down
Promise me you won’t gun mе down
Promise me you won’t gun me down
Promisе 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

[Verse 2]
Anti-establishment, crackers on that shadiness (You know)
Crackers watch me work and break my back and s*it, they
[maniacs/made me this] (??) (Know it)
Crackers tack my pockets with taxes that they made me miss, yeah
Cracker jack the sound of soul, you’ll box me in and sell my s*it, like (Move, move)

Never let ’em trouble you (Don’t let it trouble you)
America front on you (It’s gonna be okay)
I know it befuddle you
But don’t let it get to you (Don’t let it get to you)
Just know that they miserable (Know that they miserable)
You know that behind every smile
They thinking bout killing you (Say)
N-I-G-G-A (Say)
N-I-G-G-A (It’s, it’s okay, just say)
N-I-G-G-A (Just say it, please)
N-I-G-G-A

[Verse 3]
(I won’t tell anyone)
Ghetto n!gga, gangsta n!gga, dangerous n!gga, famous n!gga
Bougie n!gga, Louis n!gga, Prada n!gga, Gucci n!gga
Artist n!gga, hardest n!gga, honest n!gga, smartest n!gga
Say it how I mean it and I call it like I saw it (Say)
Scholar n!gga, proper n!gga, kill a n!gga, rob a n!gga
Conscious n!gga, pompous n!gga, (??) and go resolve the n!gga
Californiacated n!gga, highly elevated n!gga
Ain’t you glad I made it, n!gga?
Go ahead, say it— (N!gga)
Thuggish n!gga, ruggish n!gga, coveted, beloved n!gga
Kiss a n!gga, hug a n!gga, if you finally fu*k with n!gga
Massa never love a n!gga, always tryna cuff a n!gga
Obama, Kamala, n!gga, who the fu*k you calling n!gga?

[Chorus]
Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea
Beats the summer blaze, they say
Honesty the best policy, okay (Say)
Blackberry marmalade and sweet tea
Beats the summer blaze, they say
Honesty the best policy, okay (Say; they lying)

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
