Wicked Cotton

Story Behind The Song

Social media like world star hip hop, and facebook are constantly receiving praise from for displaying black on black violence on their websites. It is frustrating as a black man growing up in a rough environment I know what its like to be backed in a corner for the sake of entertainment of blood thirsty people. This song is about me taking out my own personal frustrations on my community across America.

Lyrics

Shit is sickening out here B
Man we gotta do better folk


Verse 1

WORLDSTAR when we fighting

White man use ta box us

Now we still in box's
(Slaves)
It's uh endless saga

Blacks turn blue n red

We some crabs in lobsters

That won't help you stay black
(Nah)
You gon loose ya color

Heads get hit wit copper

My folks gettin clobbered

What it mean to stay Black?

Fill yo head wit knowledge

Instead of all them toxins

These street need some washing

Instead of oxy cotton


*hook*
Wicked still picking cotton
(Slaves)
Killa Brotha you uh Possum
(Lord)
Wicked still picking cotton

Viewing life through uh tube
(T.V)
Nuttin new but the shoes
(ballin)



Babies born Pappa's Dieing
(Nite Nite)
Death door see Em knocking
(Creepy knocking w/verb)

Didn't wanna use they noggin
Now they egg Un-hardened
(Crackling eggs)

Brothers wit da stove frying
Talkin all that stove topping

Now they in that soil rotten
(Raven or vulture)

*hook*
Wicked still picking cotton
(Slaves)
Killa Brotha you uh Possum
(Scary)
Wicked still picking cotton

Viewing life through uh tube
(T.v)
Nuttin new but the shoes
(Ballin)

New Nikes Good Night
(Gun shots)

Lock da
Orange Black,
said da Blue White
(Cuff Em)
(Prison sound/bars men chanting at you/ chains)

Where da wicked's reunite
Idolizing Poltergeist

Body's cost uh Fisher Price
(Fishy watery wave, seagul sound)

O You left him wit da fishes right


Monkeys hanging from uh tree
(Monkey,bushes, branches, forest ambience)
They just doing what they see


Give uh damn what you poppin
Then you wonder what's ya problem?
(Molly)

No I ain't got the time to solve em


*hook*
You Wicked's still picking cotton
(Slave)
Killa Brotha you uh Possum
(Scary)
You Wicked still picking cotton
(Slaves)
Viewing life through uh tube
(T.v)
Nuttin new but ya shoes
