No Apologies - August Greene, Common, Robert Glasper

Follow, follow, follow, follow me

I be living out a prophecy, ayy

Living, no apologies, living, no apologies

Follow, follow, follow, follow me

I be living out a prophecy, ayy

Living, no apologies, living, no apologies

Follow, follow, follow, follow me

I be living out a prophecy, ayy

Living, no apologies, living, no apologies

Government tried to swallow me, wish we had our own colony

Black space odyssey, we land on property

I’m an anomaly to the economy, get dollars, we chase policy

, watch Amélie, unapologetic, no stopping me philosophy

A man, I wasn’t told how to be, in some ways, hip-hop fathered me

Pops said anything is possibly, «Inshallah,» that’s the Islam in me

Pardon me, my artery is martyry, go hard to free those in poverty

Peace is a part of me, revolved in me, involved in me, I’m God to be

Follow, follow, follow, follow me

I be living out a prophecy, ayy

Living, no apologies, living, no apologies

Follow, follow, follow, follow me

I be living out a prophecy, ayy

Living, no apologies, living, no apologies

Follow, follow, follow, follow me

I be living out a prophecy, ayy

Living, no apologies, living, no apologies

Meta-, meta-, metaphysical, reppin' is a ritual

School days, I’m the principal, still wannabes and jiggaboos

Light-skin, field nigga dues, don’t question me, no interviews

It’s gonna take a miracle to change the block and that’s spiritual

Tactics for black kids, it’s mind over matter, where blacks is

It’s captive where the trap is, the ghetto is radioactive

The struggle’s attractive, made moves and backslid

So I could back, give, back to Jackson

See blacks were, blacks in fashion, in fact the

Now it was style, it was loud, it was proud

Endowed by the clout of the people’s profile

Reach out, speak now, we down, feet down on the ground where it’s cold

Facetime, bass lines, grace fines, great minds intertwined on the road

Follow, follow, follow, follow me

I be living out a prophecy, ayy

Living, no apologies, living, no apologies

Follow, follow, follow, follow me

I be living out a prophecy, ayy

Living, no apologies, living, no apologies

Follow, follow, follow, follow me

I be living out a prophecy, ayy

Living, no apologies, living, no apologies
