Mick Jenkins - Sunkissed Lyrics






(It's 18 hundred ways you can take the...)
It's 18 hundred ways
You can take the truth straight to the face
Better keep up pace
If you drinking this fam
Couple shots and that be it fam
Keep it thorough as a New York borough
Frankincense and myrrh haven't sent these gifts
We legit fam, take a look at who you took from
Look at love

You love my style
You love my skin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin

You love my style
You love my skin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin

Y'all can't just front on us niggas no mo'
Police can't keep pulling these triggers
Won't go for that shit much longer
Good smoke, lungs stronger
Damn near breathing underwater
Damn near feeling just like Peter
Damn near walking on this shit until I falter
Joint rolling need a filter
But I don't spit it with a filter
Brita filtered or the truth is off kilter
I mean whose history's author?
You was never right if you read it right
Am I throwing shade, am I shedding light?
I've been catching vibes
Young Jerry Rice going deep... with it
See it clear through Fetty Wap left eye, don't even gotta creep... with it
Monkey see, monkey do
Crabs in a barrel everybody sheep... with it
Thousand count sheet fitted everybody sleep with it
It's the system nigga we get it
They'll take the world
They'll break the world
Then look at us like (we... did it)

Ya'll just can't front on us niggas no mo'
Police can't keep pulling these triggers
Won't go for that shit much longer
Good smoke, lungs stronger
Damn near breathing underwater
Damn near breathing underwater
Damn near breathing under...

You love my style
You love my skin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin

You love my style
You love my skin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin

Smoking
This ain't Country Time
This ain't Minute Maid
This ain't lemonade
It ain't never that sweet
As you niggas out here smoking reggie
You can never match me
At the forefront of culture
How you tyrna drive it from the backseat?
More and more vultures coming at we
Racists motherfuckers ain't happy
Me and all my niggas in here banded up
Don't get it twisted fam this ain't backstreet
Progressing everyday this ain't last week
You can't catch we
If we eliminated every black invention
Motherfuckers wouldn't last a week
Still move haphazardly
On behalf of we

Ya'll just can't front on us niggas no mo'
Police can't keep pulling these triggers
Won't go for that shit much longer
Good smoke, lungs stronger
Damn near breathing underwater
Damn near breathing underwater
Damn near breathing under...

You love my style
You love my skin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin

You love my style
You love my skin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin
That melanin

This ain't Country Time
This ain't Minute Maid
This ain't lemonade
It ain't ever that sweet

  13. T.... B....

    T.... B....

  14. g.... ....

    he knows what black people mean to this world.

  15. K.... M....

    Just found this guy, and this is one of my favs. It sounds better on soundcloud to me personally.

  16. P.... ....

    How does one get their song on this channel?

  17. J.... S....

    Mick looks like a black lip Gallagher

  18. J.... R....

    Mick never disappoints man..🔥Trees N Truths , Waters, Waves , and THC

  19. J.... D....

    Hate when people say "this should have way more views" like be happy you know about the low key good shit. If everyone else knew about it you wouldn't fuck with it the same way

    J.... D....

    tip it's free

  27. N.... ....

    Dope AF.

  28. F.... D....

    "Everybody wanna be black, but don't nobody wanna BE BLACK" -- Paul Mooney

    Straight diss song to all the white culture vultures in America

  29. S.... B....

    Talking way too much racy bull now a days

    S.... B....

    Coz its happening. Someone has to.

    S.... B....

    Look at what the civil rights movement did to the black family and you'll see why this narrative is a lie and bad for blacks in America.

    S.... B....

    fams its undeniable that there's a lot of stuff going on involving black people in the US. To be fair to your point, I think the problem is 90% of the cryers and protestors is just proper nigga thinking niggas who wanna be in on the hype and wanna use the opportunity to complain about shit and start riots, with no real intrinsic knowledge on the core matter, nor care for it. They make those actually fighting for a cause and affected by real issues look bad

    S.... B....

    +Ray Kazembe I agree with you 100%. I would also look at statistics before the media started this race baiting. As far as police killing whites and blacks, both have remained pretty similar since before 2010 to now. The media is doing what it always does and is picking and choosing what problems matter to the general populous. Unfortunately it's brainwashing minorities to think they have no chance at succeeding in a FREE MARKET. Americans, no matter the color have all the opportunity in the world but will look for the first reason to say they don't have those opportunities.

  30. J.... S....

    Damn son, if this bass just hit a little harder this would be perfect. Mick still fire though.

    J.... S....

    haha i feel you, bars still on point!

  31. J.... T....

    mick jenkins is one of the most underrated rappers

    J.... T....

    fr, deserves so much more exposure its crazy

  32. t.... f....

    THC bout to fuck shit up

    t.... f....

    fr, one of the best albums of 2016 i bet

  33. B.... H....

    This channel is the reason I got YouTube Red

    B.... H....

    honestly never used YT red - is that a good thng haha?

    B.... H....

    I'm not sure... It downloads yt videos for offline listening. Perfect for listening to your channel when I'm not on wifi.

  34. Z.... T....

    wen does THC drop

    Z.... T....

    soon! need to look up an exact date

  35. T.... ....

    Good lord... Mick.. I honestly haven't said this about a rapper before and meant it this much, but he is the best out right now. His double and triple meanings are ridiculous. So consistent with the flows, and bars are always top notch. I knew from the first time I heard him that he had a bright future! Crossroads was the first song I heard and I was hooked since then. This nigga had me looking for every track he's ever made lol I rarely do that. He's one of the few artists that I can listen to on repeat for weeks. Mad talented.

    T.... ....

    Not the best out

    T.... ....

    *in my opinion

    T.... ....

    +TrizollinTehWorld cool opinion

  36. S.... R....

    YOU LOVE MY STYLE
    YOU LOVE MY SKIN
    THAT MELANIN THAT MELANIN
    THAT MELANIN THAT MELANIN

  37. r.... m....

    If you listen to it on Soundcloud, it sounds either better cuz you can hear all the base.

  38. J.... T....

    Anthem for the year.

    J.... T....

    for realll though

  39. K.... C....

    Anybody got other artist like mick tht they wanna recommend ??

    K.... C....

    in terms of chicago artists, Joey Purp is a dope one, you know him?

    K.... C....

    +Promoting Sounds Nah i dnt actually but ill check him out for sure

  40. C.... P....

    dope af

    C.... P....

    happy you feel it!

  41. N.... M....

    Mick been my favorite rapper since I heard Tree's and truths last summer. This man is going places.

    N.... M....

    you right, THC going to get him going global

    N.... M....

    Really hoping fame doesn't change him if it hits fame ya know? Though he's already had a lot of sound and lyrical progression, I feel it all sort of keeps this unique flow and way of speaking he has. Hope that never changes

  42. x.... X....

    Another W for mick

  43. L.... J....

    He's one of my favorite when it comes to smoking music

  44. L.... S....

    "Whose history's author? You was never right if you READ IT RIGHT. Am I throwing shade, am I SHEDDING LIGHT? Been catching vibes young JERRY RICE going deep wit it"

    L.... S....

    Mick easily has one of the best flows

  45. P.... ....

    i wanna hear what this osunds like if the bass was more full and harder hitting

    P.... ....

    Check out the version he put up on his soundcloud. The bass is a lot better

    P.... ....

    +Joshua Gaither that has for to be the most satisfying feeling ever, to listen to this for a long time, and then hear it finally with the bass on the level it was supposed to be on

  46. S.... R....

    wow! this song is amazing. i never listened to a full project by MJ, but I love this, Jerome, Jazz, Martyrs, & Vibe..

    S.... R....

    @90059 Be The Zip​ Nice to hear bro! His new album comes out this summer too!

    S.... R....

    +MH DOOM Stay Awake, Alchemy, Free Nation Rebel Soldiers ( 1 & 2). He don't miss.

    Ever since a nigga got locked up
    Perception been changed
    See the picture was cropped up for me
    But good conversation is like food for thought
    and we tend to treat it like a fucking potluck shorty.....
    DOPE!!!!!!!!

    S.... R....

    +Soul on ice 82 What did you bring?
