Aw man, know I had to hit 'em with a part three real quick Let me talk to 'em I started writing this shit during deep contemplation Inspired by my very first time leaving the nation Realizing that we suffer from lack of appreciation And I been affected too, this shit is really contagious Now I understand my people still suffering from hatred And I fucking hate it, yeah I fucking hate it And all those lives lost, man we can never replace em But let’s stop using that for us to be complacent And let’s stop saying that we wasn’t ‘sposed to make it When one of our kind grinds to rise to occasion All that ever does is just add to conversation Of excuses we been making hella generations Of the system holding back niggas, that’s just motivation And maybe I’m alone, but I know I’m ‘sposed to make it Sick of these reminders, our people lacking in power Kinda like these slave movies, crimes and police shootings Let’s find some new solutions, but think about the blessing The success is more appealing when it’s unexpected Rather than someone on a straight path to manifest it No hardships, no struggles, ain’t equipped for the pressure But while we steady focused on the separation Do you know what we can learn from unfamiliar faces? Different ages, different races, and people from different places But we stay separated by concepts of the races Aw man we got Jon Lewis in this bitch Gotta give him a proper introduction to talk his shit He just touched down, I didn't even hear his verse yet so I'm just as surprised as y'all are Jon Lewis where you at? It's been up and on my mind, things been different as of late We living in a crazy time, still gotta make a way Know that nerves are at a high in this pandemic state But hard separating real from the fake Tell us stay up in the house, folks say we should listen 'Til it's time to leave and now they saying that they trippin' Maybe now it's time that we make our own decisions And that's real 'Cause it's like they give the blueprint since we some was little kids Tell us things just happen and it is what it is But that done took a toll after all of them years Now they wonder why anxiety and depression are some fears 'Cause folks gon' count your L's before they wipe away your tears And we 'gon change the topic 'fore we talk bout something serious For many, isolation made it hard to look in mirrors Validation from your peers and a job to keep you busy Work up through the ranks and then retire when you 60 Gotta change the thinking, we can dream for more Strive to help another dream or work to help for yours God gave you a purpose, walk in it, you gotta soar And you know that I'ma soar And you know that I'ma soar Now I know we talking about some heavy topics but we still having a good time But I ain't done yet, let me go back in For most of my life I was focused on being liked So I would keep thoughts to myself out of the fear I might Cause confrontation, but f*ck that shit now I fight For everything that I believe, making sure the approach is right Cause differentiated ideas could really change some lives and People realize if they open up they mind they’ll Be able to see where they don’t want us to look 'Cause you know they keep the lie buried in the books I wanna change the education system’s methods Feeling like it’s too much emphasis on perfection And they try to teach it’s only one way of doing things Stripping us of our creative expression Never quite understood the concept of testing Like in the real world we can’t get help with a question But off that, I’m off that, got more raps that’s all facts Exhausted from mindsets and I can’t just fall back Y’all saying niggas ain’t shit, bitches ain’t shit, I get it But the fact is both accurate, my nigga Hypocrisy is just a part human nature So reflect on your own acts the next time you say it And niggas misogynistic, so baby just know I get it Can’t lie that I’ve been addicted to feelings the pussy gives me But never been disrespectful, these niggas ain’t got no limits These niggas be really tripping, I side with your feminism But I lose respect girl, it shouldn’t matter You lose all them morals when he’s of a higher status And when he exceeds beyond your tax bracket So you telling me that’s not a toxic action? Throwing words around, but be blind to yourself But off that, some trapped, I just wish I could help Wishing every soul living had ambition but the truth is The shit we look down on, somebody gotta do it Yeah you getting money, but who babysitting? You go out to eat, but tell me who's in the kitchen You the boss dawg, but who carries out your vision? Them employees that you hired that ain't got the riches But I can guarantee you that they rich in spirit Through the hardships doing the best for their children And crying behind closed doors, but smiling in their face And enforcing values to make the world a better place So the next time you witness someone going through the struggle Make sure you ain’t looking down on 'em motherfucker 'Cause roles can switch, now you out tryna recover And you ain’t equipped, to be the one to have to suffer You know people really love to see a finished product But quick to disregard you when you just a work-in-progress But don’t take it personal, that’s just the way of the world From strangers, but even worse from the ones that you love Lately it’s been f*ck everybody, that’s just one half of me The other focused on having faith in humanity 'Cause I’ve been let down so many times But it’s balanced by some pure-hearted people I found Why do we put so much emphasis on who ain’t there? ‘Stead of ‘preciating the ones that prove they care You swallow pride, express yourself, and then what they do? All they do is show you they ain’t sincere They make it clear, but don’t you ever change, young man 'Cause when they throw them flowers on your grave, young man That’s when they choose to appreciate, young man Now they speaking highly of your name, young man Same shit they disregard while you here, young man Is the same shit to make 'em shed tears, young man You was hoping they would notice it for years, young man Now they sorry but you ain’t there to forgive, young man Just being real, young man Now how you feel, young man Damn Got a nigga running out of breath and all that I swear to God y'all gotta play this at my funeral
