NIGGA WHO? NIGGA WHAT?

Uh
Uh
Yeah

Play your hand, touch paper
Can\'t touch the throne of Ali Boubacar Bonkano
Nigga what?
Nigga who?
Y\'all know damn well what Bonkano do

Gossip, gossip, nigga, cut the shit
Loose lips, loose change, that\'s a bad investment
Came from the deep end, now the deep end got a witness
Name ring through the walls, every brick got a digit

Nigga who?
Nigga what?

Fuck the captions, fuck the shit you heard
Whole damn biography built off three words
Blank page, crooked pen, somebody forged the margins
Now the ink got weight, every stroke left a charge in

Nigga what?
Nigga who?
Silver tongue, but the sentence came counterfeit
Nigga what?
Nigga who?
Big shoes, little footprints — who fitted that shit?
One loose thread and the whole damn weave get stripped

Static in the wire, now the signal got bent
Smoke in the mirror, but the glass keep evidence
Three names on the marquee, ain\'t no understudy here
Red ink in the ledger, every figure disappear

Nigga who?
Nigga what?
Whose hand on the seal?
Nigga who?
Nigga what?
Whose name on the bill?
Nigga who?
Nigga what?
What the fuck?
Nigga what?

Bonkano on the beat, floorboards know the pressure
Built the weight from the ground, now the ground need a stretcher
Rumor wear sneakers, truth move in leather
Lab-grade diamonds still crack under inspection

Nigga who?
Nigga what?

Pretty little picture with a frame full of cracks
Gold leaf on the surface, still the wood showing back
Name carry weight like a briefcase full of bricks
One stamp on the page make the counterfeit split

Nigga who?
Nigga who?
Nigga what?
Nigga what?

Play your hand, touch paper
Can\'t reach this altitude, Bonkano skyscraper
Dice hit the felt, now the odds look altered
One card face down got the whole deck compromised

Nigga what?
Nigga who?
Table tilted, now the cards got burned

Cold shoulder, warm receipt, that\'s a strange exchange
Velvet on the envelope, but the balance still changed
Keyboard keys bent, couldn\'t crack what was coded
Front-page ink can\'t rewrite what the ledger recorded

Nigga who?
Nigga what?
Who wired the fuse?
Nigga who?
Nigga what?
Who lit the news?

Fuck the fake shit, fuck the side-door pass
Sneak-print footprints all over the glass
If the shoe fit, let the sole leave proof
Bonkano name heavy, make the floor tell truth

Ali Boubacar Bonkano
Three names carved deep, that\'s a permanent inscription
Nigga who?
Nigga what?
Say all three, feel the room shift position

Nigga who?
Nigga what?
Say it with your chest
Nigga who?
Nigga what?
Who the fuck next?

Play your hand, touch paper
Can\'t touch the throne, different floor, different access
Nigga who?
Nigga what?
Y\'all know damn well what Bonkano do

Gossip, gossip, nigga, cut the shit
Rumor got a passport, truth don\'t need the trip
Headline got a price, fine print got the figure
Bonkano name stamped — counterfeit leave fingerprints

Nigga who?
Nigga what?
