Lyrics of Interlude by Tyler, The Creator
verse
Alright, that was cool
That was whatever
You guys right there in that corner are awesome
You guys are wild, the black dude in the little yellow tank top
You guys see him? He′s killing it
Blacka, is there any niggas in the crowd?
I see no black, oh, wait, one (I see one) two, three, four
(That nigga mix) wait, you're mixed, you don′t, you don't count
Five, six (okay) seven, okay we got seven blacks in the crowd, I feel safe
Where's the darkest nigga at?
If you dark as fuck, put your hand up
I don′t see no any dark people out there
That′s okay though
I like white people
Alright guys (you guys are crazy)
This is where, this is where I get serious
And like, like I just start rapping
And it's actually not really fun
So just bear with me and let me do this
Writer(s): Frank Paparelli, Raymond Leveen, John Dizzy Gillespie
