Lyrics of 'Culture (feat. Mez, REASON, Symba & 8AE)' by Dreamville

Everybody wanna be a real nigga
But are you willin' to die on that hill, nigga?
Reverse the roles, how the fuck you gon' feel, nigga?
Talk a big game 'cause I been up in the field, nigga
Culture, culture
Culture, gotta gatekeep from the vultures
Culture, culture
Melanated soldier, culture

And my family from the drug culture
Moved to Baltimore just to have the plug closer
Don't tell nobody what you feelin' like a thug supposed to
Friends love guns like the bitches love Sosa
In life, I grew up with Corolla but I want Rover
Some niggas' life a lot worse than that, they just want it over
I never been content but some niggas just want a moment
I blame the internet, I ain't into that, watch your tone and
Most shorties wouldn't have a nigga if it wasn't for the top
I would probably have a cousin if it wasn't for the cops
My boy used to be a hooper till he end up gettin' shot
Man, he would've been a bucket if it wasn't for the mop
Goddamn, we should start a love culture
Where submachine guns ain't the only subculture
Till we figure that, tell rappers that I'm done jokin'
Want all the smoke, I'll be back for it when I'm done smokin'

Everybody wanna be a real nigga
But are you willin' to die on that hill, nigga?
Reverse the roles, how the fuck you gon' feel, nigga?
Talk a big game 'cause I been up in the field, nigga
Culture, culture
Culture, gotta gatekeep from the vultures
Culture, culture
Melanated soldier (Yeah, yeah), culture (Yeah, yeah)

Look, if niggas talkin' culture, I got lots to speak on
We ain't buyin' that bullshit, we need our refund
Started from the bottom like tree trunks, three trunks
Past, present, future, Vegeta’s son, what he on?
It's REASON, ghetto past, tough as nails, brother
I done dreaded more shit than XXL covers, still color
Y'all put pussy on a pedestal and look what fell from it
Love my Black queens but we need real women
Can I get a Hallelujah? Broke in, I'm intruder
Push an all-white foreign, I've been drivin' in a Luca
Jesus, thank You, we done came a way from racist scooters
Look, scoop to the side, rap here 'cause I'm alive
I've been workin' on myself, you see the heart I spilt, yeah
Trump ain't even fuckin' with the walls I've built, yeah
Sharks ain't even fuckin' with the jaws I felt
You know the women love REAS', love 'em more, it's a gift
It's a curse, it's a disease, evil's a loosie move and
Take an L, you'll see why all my niggas is losin'
Look, I'm improvin', REAS' the definition of culture dried out
Central twenty years from now, you'll see a reason scorchin'
I'm so Carson

Everybody wanna be a real nigga
But are you willin' to die on that hill, nigga?
Reverse the roles, how the fuck you gon' feel, nigga?
Talk a big game 'cause I been up in the field, nigga
Culture, culture
Culture, gotta gatekeep from the vultures
Culture, culture
Melanated soldier, culture, shh (Shh, ayy)

Cookin' crack on the hot water heater, that's culture
Pourin' lean in the two litter, nigga, that's culture
Loaded F&N when I'm on the block, that's culture
Shootin' at the opps like cops shoot at the culture
I do what I want y'all niggas do what you supposed to
Shh, I ain't sold a record but I'm livin' like I'm Sosa
Nova Scotia, two-tone toaster
Shh, if God turned men into women, I'd be Oprah
Rich in Rovers
Was buyin' Dior just to fuck hoes who rock Fashion Nova
I come from the Bay where we stretch bricks like yoga
And white women play Gucci Mane in they Toyota
I flooded out the Rollie, my nigga, this ain't a boulder
Got my bitch twerkin' for Birkins off the mimosas
Got more money in these Amiris than I'm supposed to
Draco on the side of the sofa, this for the culture

Everybody wanna be a real nigga (Real nigga, real nigga)
Reverse the roles, how the fuck you gon' feel, nigga? (Feel, nigga, feel, nigga)
Culture, culture
Gotta gatekeep from the vultures
Culture, culture
Melanated soldier, culture
