Love Me Nina / Semiautomatic (Explicit)

Love Me Nina / Semiautomatic (Clean) - Wale

Nina Simone：

And to me we have a culture that uh

Is surpassed by by by by no other civilization

But we don't know anything about it

So again I think I've said this before in this same interview

I think my my job is to somehow make them curious enough

Or persuade them by hook or crook

To get more aware of themselves and where they came from

And what they are into and what is already there

And just to bring it out

This is what compels me to compel them

And I will do it by whatever means necessary

Detroit red flow

East coast west coast

Used to leave MoCo to hit Ledroit with Bo

I dated women with poppin' albums they got spouses

I dated strippers that trap loud inside they Challengers

To be black and talented all I've ever been

Took a tour de France while my partners was somewhere peddling

Yeah we make depression look so effortless

We desensitize while America tryna kill our kids

So it's weighin' on me Nina

It's weighin' on me Nina

They playin' with me Nina

Send 'em on they way to meet ya

Look at my skin look at my nose I'm grateful for my features

Like I made a CD with Mrs. Knowles and ain't pay a G

I'm on my way to GA magazine in the BM

Imagine the nazis see me a MAGA hat he can bleed in

Nina we just wanna be black and legendary

Be us and be proud by any means necessary

Nina got me feeling like I never have to walk alone

Walk alone Nina

Nina got me feeling like I never have to walk alone

Walk alone Nina

Yo yo

They playin' with me Nina

You stayin' with me Nina

They hatin' on me Nina

Send 'em on they way to meet ya

I misunderstood

Under your spell perhaps

Ain't no lookin' back

Young gifted black

Nina Simone：

Everybody avoids everybody all over the place

In most situations most all of the time

I know I'm one of those everybodys

Yeah a semi automatic

A scatterbrain I'm shooting out of aim

Since I've been famous it's hard for me to hit up a target

I'm sorry I was humble on all them red carpets

I got embarrassed GRAMMYs carried me for Sandra Bullock

Photo ops the paparazzi was opting out of

Was doing drops for jockeys that ain't bother my album

Telling me you honestly the best n***a

Though I believe that you one welling-a*s n***a

How many n***as with jobs feel like they underpaid

Let's say it's that plus you rhyme and 'bout to have a baby

Let's say they calling you bipolar

Not feeling you your rhymes legend but personality complicated

Shoot at whoever that's your only defense

Had a job you was poppin' now you lonely as s**t

Mental blocks every shot was harder than before

Like bootleg shoppers see I was rockin' my label wrong

But I digress 'cause this isn't that song

This just my plight I am no different than y'all

Speak to your boss me I speak in these songs

I speak how I feel I feel like a gun

Yeah a semi auto with a novice aim uh

A lot of thoughts and a lot of pain yeah

My ammunition come from all your hate

My brain a loaded semi I'm too offended to concentrate yeah

Everybody gets sprayed n***a

Ayy move get out the way n***a yeah

Under the surface we the same n***a

But my aim different I'm way too brilliant to shank n***as yeah

Everybody gets sprayed n***a

Move get out the way n***a yeah

Under the surface we the same n***a

I got that loaded semi that stain cement and paint pictures
