[Chorus] Woke up in the morning Broke all my chains Money's my language But I'm nobody's slave Open my eyes See the crabs in the barrel 'Cause I'm on the rise An American pharaoh [Verse 1] Ahh, I’m young and I’m black in America They try to attack and embarrass us Y'all don't want your daughters to marry us But they love this dick so I tear it up Got her wetter than mariners Half of society scared of us My nigga I'm young with no barriers So if you owe me money just ante up Police killed my best friend, they shot him dead I do not forgive, I do not forget My life is a cliff and I'm by the ledge And in less than a moment, a lot is said But if you don't know me, do not allege The thoughts in my head, you cannot arrest I see that as a promise and not a threat I don't answer my phone if it's not a check I'm on plus, your money on minus No love for the righteous, just call me your highness You can't bite this, my flyness science No time for bullshit, I require silence People wanna bottle my virus Sneeze on the track, it came out of my sinus But you won't see no sign of survivors So I sped off, hear the sound of my tires [Chorus] Woke up in the morning Broke all my chains Money's my language But I'm nobody's slave Open my eyes See the crabs in the barrel 'Cause I'm on the rise An American pharaoh (what you said?) Woke up in the morning Broke all my chains Money's my language But I'm nobody's slave Open my eyes See the crabs in the barrel 'Cause I'm on the rise An American pharaoh [Verse 2] Ahh, I'm young and I'm black in America They stop and they frisk us and jail us up I don't understand what they jealous of See they crucify us and nail us up And there is no such thing as privilege That was not in the curriculum This is the world that I'm living in Like I'm only one-third of a citizen But fuck it, I'm getting my money up Three ain't company when you wanna be number one Second and third place, I don't wanna be none of 'em After all of the effort, how could I settle for runner-up? Give 'em a foot, they take a mile and run 'em amok I went through a drought, no one was hittin' my number up I used to be stuck in my own head like what was up But sometimes shit can go downhill when you coming up They try to divide up, my kingdom with violence They know I'm a tyrant, they riot, we hose 'em, and fight 'em Take they gold and they diamonds Then hang them by rope with no trials No Jesus Christ for your crisis I'm just raking in green like I'm Irish With no ocean to part every sea is too narrow I rose from the battle, an American pharaoh [Chorus] Woke up in the morning Broke all my chains Money's my language But I'm nobody's slave Open my eyes See the crabs in the barrel 'Cause I'm on the rise An American pharaoh [Outro] What you say?
