Stuck in my past And I can't let it go Said I don't wanna hide Can't run no more Why do I try Knowing that I'm gone fail And if I don't die They gone put me in jail So we supposed to live on how you feeling Know people still in jail for the same thing that you dealing Hate the skin color but you love the way we rock Riding coattails just to make it to the top And if I wanted your job I'd be overqualified Bought my first car but you know that they denied People hating on me I don't even know why And kids popping pills like they not gone die Kids thinking they only choice is to deal or do Just to stack a couple bands and buy a chain or two Been censoring just to hit a million But what good as that gone do if I'm not reeling in Not good at dropping lines so I'm working overtime I'd hate to have to do it but I know if I resign I already left a path that I know they gonna find I'd never want they life wonder why they want mine Stuck in my past And I can't let it go Said I don't wanna hide Can't run no more Why do I try Knowing that I'm gone fail And if I don't die They gone put me in jail White voice, phone calls and handshakes Just because some people intimidated by blackface Not paint the melanin I'm born with it My identity stolen so now I'm Bourne with it You expect me to believe that all your ways sticking Out of my mind you mad that I ain't cotton-picking Free slaves never thought you'd see the day You look mad, please say what you gotta say Kids bullied, teachers unruly No representation of who they are fully All they see is drugs, ballers, rappers on the screen They don't know the struggles that they go through in between Parents learn something from this message that I bring Kids going through some things we ain't never seen Kids doing anything just to get the green And you don't even care they turned into a dope fiend Sick of skipping topics everybody get a stance with Just in case my music ever made it to the top hits Take it how I give it Or leave it how it was found Spent way too many days focused only on the sound Now I bring a message with a wisdom profound Bring a generation up even when they tear me down History repeats but only if we let it Surrounded by so many that still don't get it Aye, aye somebody stomp him Som- grab my gun Som- we got a- Mary Lou get the dogs We got a- Somebody stop him We got a run away slave Stuck in my past And I can't let it go Said I don't wanna hide Can't run no more Why do I try Knowing that I'm gone fail And if I don't die They gone put me in jail Stuck in my past Don't wanna hide Why do I try And if I don't die
