Nice For What

After Drake

They chose not to write your name in the history books
Called the streets after Johns and Roberts
They can deny, but they can't change
That you reinforce the concrete, 

You be the bones of these buildings 
You the mother of this city, raising it
A crane taller than a skyscraper
You quiet your footsteps? Keep anger out of your voice? 

A woman who isn't angry?
Don't make me laugh
Boy, you walk in these heels,
Silent while others speak, and tell me you won't resent a single thing 

O, a nursery rhyme told you our disposition?
Honey, you trippin'
