Death Of Autotune - Citizen

It's all good, it's all good
You know it's all good
This one is dedicated to all those who are like me
Afro Italians and not only
There's some shit we call ius soli
I'm about to tell you my personal story
Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your time
We really love y'all
It took a short time
My teachers were impressed for how fast I was
You know at the age of nine
My Italian accent was already good
Foreign people, different culture
Learning was a pleasure
I use to accompany my mother for appointments
My job was to translate for her
So I found a good school
The elementary school
The teachers were cool
They showed me how to be a man
To love mine like J Cole
Press pause, you better stop my flow
I sound really good
Man this beat is crazy
Unlike Bruno Mars
I won't be lazy
So y'all better stop thinking about your problem
Cause I got something cool for you right here
We call it refrain
It sound like this
Man we sound like this
We sound like this
Turn my volume high
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
I am the black man in the country of course
I'm a citizen
I'm a citizen, I'm a citizen, I'm a citizen
I'm a citizen, I'm a citizen, I'm a citizen
I'm a citizen
You a citizen
Y'all ready for the second part of my story?
I saw racist faces
A bad sign
I saw hate in some faces
I nine years old kid
I never, ever thought race before
My number one goal was to play football with white kids
You know that for sure
Even if I was only nine years old
Unlike my friends you know
I was mature
So I surely loved my friends
I will always say the truth no lie my friend
I never, ever understood
The usefulness of lying to another man
Keep control show love to each other man
Just keep control show love to each other yeah
I love the sound
Amazing sounds
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
I am the black man in the country of course
I'm a citizen
I'm a citizen, I'm a citizen, I'm a citizen
I'm a citizen, I'm a citizen, I'm a citizen
Scream that for your right
I'm a citizen
I'm a citizen
You're a citizen
You're a citizen
