Yo imma let my pen do the talking But what's pent up inside me Make my pen feel exhausted Perhaps the penalty of penning down these thoughts that I often Have to pin down on the mat when its climbs back out the coffin It's outrageous and outstanding That in the middle of a pandemic we out standing Fist raised up high with a mask with our branding Saying I can't breathe and our families Gotta worry if we Gon' be dead on a street With our neck pressed with a knee Shirts pressed with our face on a tee And don't forget the "our" when are we finally free Too bad Christ wasn't the last to have his head hung on a tree The Civil Rights movement was an improvement But if I'm honest the congruent Vote of Congress still has us losing And it's proven that the 13th amend-meant We only got them prison bars instead of nooses An n-word gotta do what an n-word gotta do Why you focused on my outside my inward going thru And ye ain't gotta clue what my n-word's gotta prove but Imma bust a move and keep my focus on the truth An n-word gotta do what an n-word gotta do Why you focused on my outside my inward going thru And ye ain't gotta clue what my n-word's gotta prove but Imma bust a move and keep my focus on the truth Yo I'm feeling sick to my stomach Can't even sleep in our own bed or go jogging in public And I' ain't surprised at how they hardly ever get punished But God's near the broken-hearted and know that judgment is coming And I ain't trying to be militant But it's hard not knowing when a cop gonna kill again This is what you get when you mix Fred Hammond with Fred Hampton I'm about my fathers business like Red and Lamont Sanford It's outlandish that we living in the new Jim Crow But James chapter 1 we better read that slow These trials my brother not gon' last always But we tired and y'all just want us to get past our rage But drive past our graves laughing The traps all laid Crack our streets and I don't mean that they all not paved Imma survivor I got warrior DNA My Pop's said don't focus on color there's more in ya DNA But my melanin is full of elegance A perfect mixture of medicine and intelligence Worth more than its weight in gold No wonder they hate us My soul bought with a price and His blood is the payment Yea we speaking the language of the oppressed and the anguished We unplugged from the Matrix so you know that we're dangerous So while the inward is going thru changes We represent the Body to present ourselves blameless An n-word gotta do what an n-word gotta do Why you focused on my outside my inward going thru And ye ain't gotta clue what my n-word's gotta prove but Imma bust a move and keep my focus on the truth An n-word gotta do what an n-word gotta do Why you focused on my outside my inward going thru And ye ain't gotta clue what my n-word's gotta prove but Imma bust a move and keep my focus on the truth
