Some of your best friends are just like me
The fire gets higher and I feel the heat
Everytime, recognize
Everytime, recognize
About how I feel when you call all your white friends
What you don't know about me is
What you don't know about me is
Homeboy and nigga and homie
But when they're not around you make jokes and conspire
I am ingredients far beyond flour and molecules
And the shit I hear you say just blows my mind
I'm in between it all
The shit I hear you say just blows my mind
I don't have to volunteer and say
I am invisible, I am
Obviously you can't tell
Everytime, recognize
Who is more deceived?
That I was born a particular way
Am I responsible? I am
What you don't know about me is
Though who I am to you is not a lie
My blood is thicker than any man
I don't have to volunteer and say
I got no uniform, I'm camouflaged in any light
I'm a double agent on my mama's side
And what do you hear when you hear me?
What-what, what-what, what-what, what-what
Betcha never get stopped by the police
We went to the same school
Calluses, family jewels, I'm no fool
The shit I hear you say just blows my mind
I got no uniform, I'm camouflaged in any light
And you talk with your hands like an MC
That my lips are shaped
I got no uniform, I'm camouflaged in any light
Obviously you can't tell
Obviously you can't tell
Rising underneath
You see my long blonde hair and the particular way
That I was born a particular way
I'm a double agent on my mama's side
Don't file me under categories, you're deceived
You don't know me, I'm not only a surface, a country
What do you see when you see me?
Everytime, recognize
Obviously you can't tell
You never ask me about me, no, no, no
Though who I am to you is not a lie
I got no uniform, I'm camouflaged in any light
I am part of no plan
Though who I am to you is not a lie
I'm a double agent on my mama's side
I'm a double agent on my mama's side
That I was born a particular way
Double agent on my mama's side
Oh, please it hurts me and you don't see
I hear you crank up Jay-Z, it's your favorite jam
My honesty is contraband
What do you know when you know me?
I don't have to volunteer and say
Though who I am to you is not a lie
What do you like when you like me?
I don't have to volunteer and say
The shit I hear you say just blows my mind
That I was born a particular way
I told you everybody's got a story
I'm a double agent on my mama's side
That my body takes when you talk to me
I'm a double agent on my mama's side
Who is the enemy?
Don't you like me?
