I done spent my time and money man Trick, get to twerkin on this money brand If you don’t understand, then uh you man Stayed placed or get a dose of double backhands The bible back my philosophy / screw ya lil misogyny Philogyny a fallacy Disagree, misandry You wrecking yoself ‘Stead of checking yo-self Hm. White miss, accomplice When she check kin with pompos Cautious of Godless complex Death, jaundiced her optics White miss, dismissed Fight lacking intersections If you don’t get this message Strip yo name of progressive This yo lesson this yo sermon Before brown angels haunt this service Understand that yes were women but our pains from different sources I’m the moth to yo butterfly Gorilla to the canary Solidified that you are the normal And were some sort of crazy Black Woman are getting scary Bleaching bodies euro-friendly botching bodies vixen aesthetic x2 dyin on the table ‘stead of sitting Cryin on the table ‘stead of sitting Dyin on the table ‘stead of sitting

May I ask question? Why dont blacks + africans have positive progression? Misconceptions lead to disconnections, severed tied never reconnecting Two sides of the same coin so maybe thats why you can’t see each other It takes time to open your eyes through another side, let us try, if we try that is growth That is change 3 eye bleeds, truth be strange If you ask me, y’all both deranged Clowin cultures, y’all both need chains X2” Hol up hol up hol up maxx Let me turn og staxxx Lemme turn to OG X Dissected the lesson hope the injection aint ejection Straight barred intersection on a tape on intersections time for loan collections / bro my bank account be stressin’ guess In retrospection/ shoulda neva interjected deFLECtion then deFECtion Allyship turned white rejection, Gotta leave it x3 Get a trigga x3 Didn’t know I was a muva till had to son a nigga He was coming for my broads, Now he blacking out he blacking out My hands know pacquiao, go pacquiao Tryin pacquiao-out the uptown, granada even hov my own lane madi’s garden And If ain’t discriminal I’ll be a poet criminal This Curse will slit ya syllables my visionals ya visuals Its OG sh political my metaphor is mythical I hope you sense subliminals DAMN! To be black and be african Is to be tied by glass ribbons To be black and african Is to be tied by glass ribbons x2 You see the reason for the disconnection You see the why’s before the misconception You know magnitude, of a complexion The lil child asks bout the wild If the lions tigers bears were on the prowl If AIDS is everywhere are you afoul Ya booty scratcher cousin starvin now? The lil child grows into a man He blacks and proud he’s knows himself and kin Cept’ africans they stayed some savages And they bougie anyway so fuck them Sure they smart but why do they lookin down Like they be superior somehow, Yeah ill talk kente here and now But y’all need to go back to ya town Now here for the immigrated child feelin foreign, forced to exit-ile He thinks the other browns will reconcile His thoughts are wrong they laugh hyena wild Now immigrated child turns to man He’s AfriCAN and Knows his father’s land Know niggas to be gangin hooligans Gun-totin’ violent vicious brands of men Section 8, Ebonics be the main You hoods so disrespectful, got disdain Any black aint from my country chain You see the reasons for the disconnection You see the whys before the misconception You know magnitude of our complexion Black and africans have no rejections To be black tied by glass ribbons To be black and african Tis tied by glass ribbons x2 “But that is growth That is change 3 eye bleeds, truth be strange If u ask me, y’all both deranged Clowin cultures, y’all both need chains X2”

about

Although Ogechi's melodic sound and style are qualities all her own, there is something very familiar about her music, like home.

iBlvck is an essay written in EP form, Ogechi knows she is no teacher; but she hopes you learn a lesson.

She is undoubtedly her own artist but...Ogechi has the songwriting of Frank Ocean, mixed with the flows of Kendrick Lamar, featuring the poetry that Beyoncé tried to do with Lemonade, topped off with the soul of Erykah Badu.
