I’m really getting tired I’m really getting tired Ayo They say violence ain’t the answer Well how you think our people overthrew the slave masters And escaped being captive Down in shackles And I just spoke to my grandpapa Think he dying but nobody told me that he had cancer And my uncle too I’m thinking in my own head what to do Father left us without a word But he was comfortable So sorry to you heavenly father I can’t look up to you What happens when the bad example of a man is haunting you Mix it with these lynchings and these CNN articles This a white mans planet I am just a particle Another pawn on the chessboard In reality we small But we wanna be big So we ride the latest trend Flexing for the whole globe to see They say I’m writing poetry in motion But I call it motion poetry I’m the reason why they say ya body’s made of water mostly cause you could see the flow in me Soon as you look into my eyes pupils focused on what’s on the other side Of the wall ya lil president built Crooked cops tryna tilt Me off the edge of this mountain that I’m sitting on While they listen on to knowledge Over beats I’m spitting on and they buy it when I publish Man they love it But it’s funny cause my hair nappier than Frederick Douglas Man they love it What a conundrum they love it You would think they would wanna kill me but they feel me If this is Armageddon then I’m getting out this country Need some reparations not just talking bout the money Used to be pharaohs then they turned us into mummies I ain’t got no property you took it all from me I don’t know what’s going on in my mind All I see is Armageddon when I walk outside Wanna go and get a job but you might get declined Wanna go out for a jog you might lose your life Dear Ameri k k k a can you hear my cries You don’t think my life matters but you love when I rhyme Don’t make my name a hashtag if I’m shot from behind You don’t know what it’s like, tryna make ends meet I was running low on bread, I had to make ends meet Tryna make a couple millions, tryna make M’s meet Pass em on to my children, I’ll never be a deadbeat I kill the track, lay it down, then I play the dead beat They killed the man, 8 minutes 46 seconds that his head was under the knee Another brother found he was hangin up from a tree Black lives matter, yeah you said it for bout a week You saw they painted a street Then it was back to the beach And while you sailing the sea Another black man bleeds She was 12 Threw her body in the river then them cowards fleed the scene Do you see What I’m sayin now Start protesting stop the praying now The prayers of the ignorant ain't never answered If you wanna be part of the show you can’t be acting like a background dancer If you got a problem wit violence Stand up and tell the masses And the massas Who, wanna see me dying faster on the TV All I see see mommas crying right after They just lost they son, to another bastard Carbon copy we get killed Then it sparks a lotta chatter not a action They say that we burning buildings down in a appalling fashion Oh did you forget what happened way back when in 1921? Black Wall Street was burned Whole city going to the curb going up in flames and ashes Why they killing us for sport Do it year-round got they season passes Wear em on they shirts and they call em badges If this is Armageddon then I’m getting out this country Need some reparations not just talking bout the money Used to be pharaohs then they turned us into mummies I ain’t got no property you took it all from me I don’t know what’s going on in my mind All I see is Armageddon when I walk outside Wanna go and get a job but you might get declined Wanna go out for a jog you might lose your life Dear Ameri k k k a can you hear my cries You don’t think my life matters but you love when I rhyme Don’t make my name a hashtag if I’m shot from behind
