I woke up this morning with a burning in my chest Not really sure of my future, who knows what happens next One minute everything's cool Chillin and vibin Then suddenly there's lying, deceit, and arguments with no compromising It's not surprising, been fighting my whole life I was told if God got you then everything is alright They still question what's real or not Would the world be as messed up if there really was a God That's no offense to the true believers in Jesus But Jesus we need you when police beat us Pull up out the heaters and [gunshot] Then leave us bleeding Tragic when we discover a person of color dead because of a weapon no one recovered They fish in rivers of our mothers tears But we refuse to live in fear Surviving while we are here These demons they hate me They chase me, trying to rape me, break me Shoot me in the back cause they're not man enough to face me Lately I feel like the world has been against me My eyez and soul been looking empty I don't know what's gotten in me Praying someone can hear me I'm just beginning to live so don't let this racist hatred end me I have a passion that's everlasting for rapping and some of the fattest asses They turn me into a rabid savage, the black Hugh Jackman My fetish with lettuce supposedly brings me relish I'm skeptic cause I been chasing my dream but always fail to catch it Attracting negative attention Not to mention My rebuttals at the law reflect of an attentive menace Why do I need their acceptance Because their preference Is that a nigga be shooting hoops or rhyming a reference Creating hustles just to make it by Needing more than my 9-5 So I'm getting my people high Barely walking but I wanna be fly So I Give em that stuff that make em demand more of my supply The system hates niggas Oprah is an exception Been stressing since adolescence fighting depression Every day is a struggle Every mouth can't be muzzled Every word can't be mumbled And you can't knock my hustle The blood spilled on these curbs has upsurged It's absurd The cries from the people are being unheard Fears that I won't make it to tomorrow The life I'm living is borrowed Not given a thing but sorrow I'm in a gun fight with a bow and arrow Is supremacy really important They ban abortions and continue extortion just to seek fortune This has my mind distorted You planted cocaine around me for me to snort it An attempt at new world order I'm black, I rap, and I play ball My pants sag and I appear mad when I walk through halls I use slang and I got an accent when I talk And every now and then, I tend to grab my dick and balls Watermelon, fried chicken, my nigga I eat it all Gold chains, clean whips, and Jordans, I got em all But What's the point that I'm trying to make Even though I got these traits you don't got the right to discriminate You don't know what I been through Can't survive what I lived through The tears wiped up with tissues They say that race ain't an issue Labelled a threat because of my complexion Harassed, beaten, arrested Because of gold around my neck man They say the pen is mightier than the sword Then bullets flew And put those men on the floor Judicial hypocrites This they can't admit Cause murder is murder Race don't make it any different If they murdered me today, they'd feel like that's okay They can shoot me in the face while this song being played Now if he killed his equal, that's an automatic sentence Meanwhile they killed me and that's a death my people gotta deal with That's how it is for us here in Amerikkka They speaking of equality but thinking they superior Black lives matter and I can't stress it no more The police using excessive force and kicking doors, OH MY GOD If Fred Hampton still walked a campus, I'm sure he'd be very pleased I'm Huey Newton, no violence cause my death would come with ease They murdered JFK, MLK, and Malcolm X Marcus Garvey is dead so whose gonna be the voice next Bobby Seale had to kneel or he'd be shot too Claimed the Thug Life then gangbangin killed Pac too All of my role models are deceased or being censored Cause in a world full of snakes we still controlled by Master Splinter This nation wants to see my annihilation But I won't let a racist determine my fate cause I'm destined for greatness Labeled a riot when we stand up Cause y'all don't understand when we marching with our hands up Freedom and justice for all is what we want But it appears that the pledge was written in a different font They say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice Pac said the darker the flesh, the deeper the roots I say more colorful pigment, the more misleading the truth I hit the booth With hopes that I inspire the youth I'm here to end the mental pollution The revolution I create will lead to evolution Possibly solutions Cause February is just an illusion They lying like Lucious They wanna abuse us cause their confusion leaves us with contusions and lacerations Free my brothers thats incarcerated Off possession, discriminated Doing years like they were raping And at this point I'm fearing for my children And I'm also fearing for my women Cause they ain't protected They ain't respected And that's some bullshit Loading up a full clip cause I can't take no more of this Some do the things they do only to remain relevant Some people lack intelligence Others just for the hell of it All lives matter, yes I know Ain't gotta tell us this But black excellence being killed and that's some sketchy shit Yea In order for you and me to devise some kind of method or strategy To offset Some of the events or repetition of events That have taken place here in Los Angeles recently We have to go to the root We have to go to the cause Dealing with the condition itself is not enough And it is because of our effort Toward getting straight to the root that people often times think that we are dealing in hate We are oppressed We are exploited We are downtrodden We are denied not only civil rights but even human rights So the only way we're going to get some of this oppression And exploitation away from us or assigned to us Is come together against the common enemy Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair Who taught you to hate the color of your skin To such extent that you bleach to get like the white man Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose And the shape of your lips Who taught you to hate yourself From the top of your head To the soles of your feet Who taught you to hate your own kind
