So this one is dedicated to Akeem Wray Rest in paradise, man, I love you for life I wrote this shit with so much tears in my eyes F*ck all the bars and sicker lines that I ain't choose to write There's bigger fish to fry Got better things in mind, in these depressing times And it's way bigger than me cause everyday somebody else has died So much violence and crime as I'm sitting on porcelain tiles I pray for discipline, consistency, I'm working overtime My rhymes are not just rhymes It's deeper than the lines It's poetry of the mind When I get this versatile Thinking about what's reported But what about the shit that ain't reported? Imagine shit that didn't get recorded That we don't know or even heard about It's scary, there'll no proof, only word of mouth Mi nah guh lie, di mount a tears mi used to cry Just waa fi commit suicide, a mi regular every night Mi nah guh lie, yeah All mi know is that mi fight, couldn't tell yuh how mi survive Wid all these thoughts inna mi mind Mi nah guh lie, yeah 2AM inna Jamaica and di worst tings deh pah mi mind Yeah 2AM inna Jamaica, cya rest cause mi sleep deprived We don't really know the half of what be happening What's covered up and what they choose to feed to us Won't be no laughing like Hyenas, ain't no cackling Cause there's a need for love but it depends on what it means to us So how much does it mean to us? Yeah Sometimes I'm at my lowest Like even now, I'm trying to refocus Feels like walls are closing in and it's my final moment Really needing Him, hoping He noticed Cause I just can't help feeling so hopeless The math ain't even mathing, this ain't calculus Bro it's hard but I'm just trying, ain't no stopping this But why is life so unfair? Ain't nobody really care Yet they be mad about what other people doing, that's weird I need to find my audience Cause this country holds me down more than gravity, it's obvious I pray the tables turn on all of this And I hope some bridges burn That's why I'm glad that I know how to swim Mi nah guh lie, di mount a tears mi used to cry Just waa fi commit suicide, a mi regular every night Mi nah guh lie, yeah All mi know is that mi fight, couldn't tell yuh how mi survive Wid all these thoughts inna mi mind Mi nah guh lie, yeah 2AM inna Jamaica and di worst tings deh pon mi mind Yeah 2AM inna Jamaica, cya rest cause mi sleep deprived I'll pull up like it's some high socks, for anybody that I love We live in fear so much you'd think that we got white cops Nah, but this is Jamaica Where instead of a heart, most people really got an ice box Cause killers just do it like Nike tops And robbers take what you work hard for, they need eyedrops for the red eye Meanwhile I'm fly like red eye Tryna hit this dream out the park and that's on Chicago White Sox All this shit turning me off like a light switch Really took a lot outta me just to write this And they be like "don't you give up" Easier said than done when this shit is a last resort It's all I wanna do, but can't sell myself short All I need are better days, like yesterday Negativity sells, but what it really pays? I make music that'll last, music that'll stay I'm just trying to be great Black people deserve so much more, not just on special days My generation is so sad, all I can do is pray Our parents barely know us, and they got toxic traits Paying over and over for that trauma like it's layaway Yeah
