The E.N.D. Emanon

[Intro]
What's up world
It's Aloe Blacc
Been tryna let y'all know it's only one world we live in
But all I could do
Is just let you know through these lessons

[Verse 1]
My momma told me in so many words
Don't ever let nobody keep me from getting
All the things I deserve
But she' probably take it back if she knew
When it catch up to me one day
What' this karma gonn' do
'Cause I' been running from my past like a convict
Trapped in my own guilty hell of a [?]
Grabbing the sky
Like a blanket let it cover my sin
Little boy trying to wash the blackness off of my skin
'Cause nobody ever called me a king
Had to learn it myself
Had to evaluate my personal wealth
But see society was telling me that evil was black
And the media was supporting the fact
'til I learn all the facts
And I read them books
And then I' seen how the inside of a white lie looks
And then I dreamed of a Martin Luther king and a Malcom
Then I scream 'cause I wasn't really expecting the outcome
See this gleam of all better tomorrow
Shot down in a minute
All of my hopes and my dreams gone wit' it
Then my momma' voice came back and that's what did
You need to get what you deserve son get it
Momma I'm gonn' get it
