I love my life but I’m tired of living cheque to cheque,
I love the music but tired of getting no respect.
I love my people but tired of all the foolishness, 
I love twitter but tired of famous hooligans.
Petty beefs and twitter chatter,
If you climbed the ladder, hashtag black lives matter. 
Use your status for good,
Instead of only spitting how you’re repping the hood. 
Father forgive us our sins, because the world we live in, 
Is full of rotten demons, wanna pound my head up on the f@!#&^ cement,
But instead I repent, 
You getting tired being surrounded by yes men?
I’m tired of all the nonsense,
I’ll drop the mic and ride into the sunset.
But if I quit what example would I set,
Because my daughter needs answers, can’t shield her from this s@!$. 
Cop killings, drug dealings, blurred lines, 
Hands high, show time, Columbine.
Politicians should be well ahead of the game,
But their priority’s overseas and smear campaigns.
Say her name,
I don’t hear you, mother f@!$%#, SAY HER NAME.
Rest in peace to all who’re deceased,
Where are you God, the devil’s unleashed.
Your people are in the belly of the beast,
Show yourself give them something to believe.
Huh, well, times are hard.
Was Hopsin right, are you just a façade? 
Are we living to get into a heaven,
That may not exist like he spit in Ill Mind 7? 
But f!@# it, I believe,
In my mind only something divine would let me live to see.
A man like Obama come to be,
Don’t get it twisted my n!@$# we still ain’t free.
You wonder why he’s big to all the black folk,
We’re only one generation away from being owned. 
The nation needs saving, 
Slavery is in the prison, it’s the new plantation.
I’m tired of middle class, 
I’m tired of feeling guilty with wants, when most don’t have. 
I’m learning ‘want’ doesn’t mean ‘need’, 
I’m tired of chasing dreams when others don’t have a place to sleep.
I never fully came from the gutter,
4 kids and 1 mother living good but we still struggled. 
I’m tired that my color some despise,
That we have to live our lives through two sets of eyes. 
I’m tired of subtle racists,
Tired of being judged when I ain’t spoken broken English.
Yes, I’m educated I can formulate a sentence,
Cause it’s basic elementary, a subject and a predicate.
Wow, guess education is a crime,
Hip-hop respects, selling nickel bags and tricking dimes. 
So, what if I was the king of the rock, top dog of the block 
and not a college product could I still get a spot hip hop?
I’m tired of self-doubt,
I’m tired of being left out, tired of being not hot. 
But I ain’t going nowhere did I mention,
The only flat line is my potential 
I just realized how that sounds,
And no, I’m not throwing in the towel, 
One end’s on the ground and the other’s heaven bound
Still you need me to define?
If one end’s on the ground and the other’s in the sky,
Is that not still a flat line?

Gave you a bar to think about it,
I’m heading to the stars and never doubted. 
So if I need another 30 years,
Another lifetime, best believe I’m a shine.
So if you’re tired like me than take a stand, 
It’s gonna take every woman and every man.
Every race, creed, color and religion,
Together, to turn this s@!$ around.
