Reality Check
Fatimah Warner
Opportunity knockin'
A nigga was out for coffee
Inadequate like my window
The Grammy's is way too lofty
And I could stay here forever
I could die here
I don't have to try here
Can I get my two sugars please?
Jesus made an album
I'm still waiting in the line for cream
She dream in techni-color
Live black and white
Opportunity knockin'
A nigga just got her nails done
Skeletons in my closet gone open the door when Yale come
They ain't gonna wanna see my silhouette rap
He's fucking cognac
My smile in all black
Mississippi vagabond
Granny gone turn up in her grave
And say, my granny really was a slave for this
All your uncompleted similes and pages ripped
You know they whipped us niggas
How you afraid to rap it
You went to heaven after so we could free them now
Ain't no ocean floor when you can be a yeezus now
Don't fear the light
That dwells deep within
You are powerful
Beyond what you imagine
Just let your light glow
Seventeen moments and cloudy days on my snap
Mysterious aberration, illuminated the trap
My telefone-calications synonymous with the sunrise
Mountains against the foreground forever me coming back
I ain't gonna cry
The last time Ali marched Chicago
Twenty four and a late mojo teaching me how to drive
Whole world inside my rear view
This feel in me so alive
This feel in me so alive
Enjoy the joyride
Opportunity knockin'
It's finally time to answer
The doorbell was only broken 'cause auntie was fighting cancer
Cigarettes on my mantle keep callin' me by my first name
Loving me when I'm lonely
Pretending they really Noname
Don't fear the light
That dwells deep within
You are powerful
Beyond what you imagine
Just let your light glow
And when that call comes
(You better say hello)
You better say hello, no hesitation
(You better, yeah)
No hiding deep down below
No beg your pardon
(You better stay and grow)
You better stay and grow your liberation
(You better, yeah)
For your lonely soul
Or you'll be on your own
Opportunity knockin'
L'opportunità bussa
A nigga was out for coffee
Un negro era fuori per un caffè
Inadequate like my window
Inadeguato come la mia finestra
The Grammy's is way too lofty
I Grammy sono troppo alti
And I could stay here forever
E potrei restare qui per sempre
I could die here
Potrei morire qui
I don't have to try here
Non devo provare qui
Can I get my two sugars please?
Posso avere i miei due zuccheri per favore?

Una negra si è appena fatta le unghie
Skeletons in my closet gone open the door when Yale come
Gli scheletri nel mio armadio apriranno la porta quando arriverà Yale
They ain't gonna wanna see my silhouette rap
Non vorranno vedere il mio silhouette rap
He's fucking cognac
Lui è fucking cognac
My smile in all black
Il mio sorriso in tutto nero
Mississippi vagabond
Vagabondo del Mississippi
Granny gone turn up in her grave
La nonna si girerà nella sua tomba
And say, my granny really was a slave for this
E dirà, mia nonna era davvero una schiava per questo
All your uncompleted similes and pages ripped
Tutte le tue similitudini incomplete e pagine strappate
You know they whipped us niggas
Sai che ci hanno frustato noi negri
How you afraid to rap it
Come hai paura di rapparlo
You went to heaven after so we could free them now
Sei andato in paradiso dopo così potremmo liberarli ora
Ain't no ocean floor when you can be a yeezus now
Non c'è fondo oceanico quando puoi essere un yeezus ora
Don't fear the light
Non temere la luce
That dwells deep within
Che dimora profondamente dentro
You are powerful
Sei potente
Beyond what you imagine
Oltre quello che immagini
Just let your light glow
Lascia che la tua luce risplenda
Seventeen moments and cloudy days on my snap
Diciassette momenti e giornate nuvolose sul mio snap
Mysterious aberration, illuminated the trap
Misteriosa aberrazione, illuminata la trappola
My telefone-calications synonymous with the sunrise
Le mie telefonate-calicazioni sinonime dell'alba
Mountains against the foreground forever me coming back
Montagne contro lo sfondo per sempre io che torno
I ain't gonna cry
Non piangerò
The last time Ali marched Chicago
L'ultima volta che Ali marciò a Chicago
Twenty four and a late mojo teaching me how to drive
Ventiquattro e un mojo in ritardo mi insegnano a guidare
Whole world inside my rear view
Tutto il mondo dentro il mio specchietto retrovisore
This feel in me so alive
Questo sentimento in me così vivo
This feel in me so alive
Questo sentimento in me così vivo
Enjoy the joyride
Goditi il giro

Loving me when I'm lonely
Amarmi quando sono solo
Pretending they really Noname
Fingendo che siano davvero Noname
Don't fear the light
Non temere la luce
