Tryna teach you a lesson I'm still teaching myself It's like sitting at the table you don't know what you been dealt I feel im 52 I don played the hand with the man But you just the joker I'm the king know where you stand Steady playing games I been on the sideline Friday night lights yea it's my time to shine Pick up the remote cause this life is on demand Still flipping through these channels to see where I began Pop goes the gun and we start the next race This race that we living and we still ain't found our place This place that we live in they just wanna do us wrong And it's gonna be all wrong until our people are gone Tell me sum new All I see is blue All they wanna do Is beat me like a fool Thud after thud til our faces is red Til i'm layin in blood and my body is dead They try to fill up our head wit all these lies and all theses games But they still ain't found a cure for all this misery and pain While I'm working for the man While we workin on a plan Feel like Tom and Jerry all we say is catch me if you can Til we winning and we chillin and we got the upper hand They steady chasing and debating and they takin all our brands But look and we back it's just popular demand And imma keep on grinding til it's me that got all the fans It's like Elon testing Tesla's All they wanna do is test us And we still ain't got no answers so we still just out here guessing Got us stressing for a lesson it's deja vu Got my number 2 and scantron don't know what to do Living black in America a daily strife Fighting for justice yea it's the story of life From the roots of oppression we gon rise with might Still gon face challenges every day and night I can't walk right out my door without them asking for more I can't walk back in the door I might cause an uproar Can you see my ID when I tell you it's me It just go right past they eyes it's the color they see Working 9-5 we just tryin to survive Got us walking the line we steady takin the fines They say the past is behind they must be thinking we blind So just open up yo eyes so you can see who's outlined In the land of the free where the dreams should soar For my black brothers and sisters its just a constant war Look we born into a system that's stacked against their race Struggle of living black in America that we gotta face In the streets we walk with targets on our backs Systemic biases they try to hold us back The use the color of our skin to justify they attacks You better bet we won't be silenced counter every act But still the struggle's real inequality's concealed From streets to courtrooms the biases will be revealed Walking on a tightrope in a system that's flawed Searching for justice everyday until we aint the outlaws Through art, through music, we raising our voice A powerful message and for that we should rejoice Shattering stereotypes its bought time we redefine The strength and the beauty of our beautiful black design We more than a statistic or a stereotype Our talents are so boundless and our soulful spirit ignites We break through every chain and let our dreams take flight In the face of adversity you always see we shine bright We steady saying that we can't talk it no more But you don't see us out here quitting we not layin on the floor This a battle that we fighting and it ain't just begin We gon keep on doin us til we win in the end
