Black Effect Lyrics - The Carters

[Intro] 

Can you tell us about love? 

Hmm, well there's love of children 

Love of self 

Love of God 

Love of a partner 

All of them have a different shape 

But all of them is the same in the end 

It's about sensitivity, it's about passion 

It's about unconditional giving of self to another person 

And there's love of humanity 

That's the love that is right now needed most 

Love of humanity 

But in everything, in all of that love, there is a soul 

It's like when you take some eggs and break them 

And you take the shells and mix them up 

Trying to find the ones that match 

And you find the perfect match 

When you find the perfect match 

That compatibility results in passion 

Results in unconditional giving of self

[Chorus: JAY-Z] 

I'm good on any MLK Boulevard 

I'm good on any MLK Boulevard 

See my vision with a TEC, bitch, I'm Malcolm X 

Haters dreadin' my effect, they want that Das EFX 

Get your hands up high like a false arrest 

Let me see 'em up high, this is not a test 

Yes, put 'em up, this is not a test 

Now hands where I can see them, fuck a false arrest 

[Verse 1: JAY-Z] 

This all white fit that I rock shit permanent 

The fro that I grow got no perm in it 

Hmm, a nigga late but he best dressed 

Got slowed down by the weight of my necklaces 

Parked the Lexus in the projects, bitch I'm reckless 

Extra magazine hopped on a jet with my Ebony chick 

Blacker than the Essence fest 

The behind the back pass is so effortless 

LeBron James to you Omaroses 

Dapper Dan at 4AM, shit, I am the culture 

I made my own waves so now they're anti-Tidal 

I'm livin' the no sock life despite you 

Since the Khalif died, they've been at my neck 

Y'all can tell 'em Trayvon is comin' next 

The FCC, the FBI or the IRS 

I pass the alphabet, boys, like an eye test

[Chorus: JAY-Z and Beyonce] 

I'm good on any MLK Boulevard (I'm good) 

I'm good on any MLK Boulevard (He good) 

See my vision with a TEC, bitch, I'm Malcolm X (I'm Malcom X) 

Haters dreadin' my effect, they want that Das EFX (Yeah) 

Get your hands up high like a false arrest 

Let me see 'em up high, this is not a test 

Yes, put 'em up, this is not a test 

Put your hands where I can see them, fuck a false arrest 

[Post-Chorus: Beyonce] 

Higher, higher 

Higher, higher 

Higher, Higher 

Higher, higher 

Higher 

[Verse 2: JAY-Z, Beyonce and both] 

I'm good any way I go, any way I go (go) 

I pull up like the Freedom Riders, hop out on rodeo 

Stunt with your curls, your lips, Sarah Baartman hips 

Gotta hop into my jeans, like I hop into my whip 

Mobbin' in a hoodie like Melo 

Come up out that pretty motherfucker like Hello, Hello 

I will never let you shoot the nose off my Pharaoh 

I like purple and purple rain 

Tryna put red and blue together, bitch, that's all gang 

These people tryna get me out the paint 

'Cause I cook collard greens and yams better than your aunt 

Man, we started with a mustard seed 

Now we in the gray 911 with the mustard seats 

Sheesh! Matte black puma jet 

Shining my light on the world just like UMI Says 

Got the Richard Milie all colors 

Might hit you with the Rose Gold all summer 

For the culture 

They even biting cornrows, put your scarecrows up 

I come from the finest crop 

Tell em the god's on row, watch them line the block 

The Chitlin' circuit is stopped 

Now we in stadiums, Eighty Thou a wop, Watch 

[Chorus: Jay-Z and Beyonce] 

I'm good on any MLK Boulevard (He good) 

I'm good on any MLK Boulevard (We good) 

See my vision with a TEC, bitch, I'm Malcolm X (I'm Malcom X) 

Haters dreadin' my effect, they want that Das EFX (Yeah) 

Get your hands up high like a false arrest 

(Get your hands up high like a false arrest) 

Let me see 'em up high, this is not a test 

(Let me see 'em up high, this is not a test) 

Yes, put 'em up, this is not a test 

(Yes, put em up, this is not a test) 

Now hands where I can see them, fuck a false arrest 

[Outro] 

I know, I only got one [?] 

But look in the mirror, I see him holding me 

Not realizing all that you're [?] could mean 

But I know, I only got one [?]
