I been down & out, running out of luck I been wildin out, just to feel a buzz Memories from my past, they keep coming Imma drown it out, with what's in this cup I just need some time, I feel it ticking away I feel like I'm losing mine, and I'm losing my mind I'm in this big ass world, but it feels empty to me I'm missing home because it's more than just a city to me Even on rainy days, when I'm at home I can escape From all the crazy things that float around in my brain My brothers kept me sane, being away from daily Seeing them live on without me is such a crazy thing I got so much on my mind but I never say a thing I turn my troubles to lyrics, I put the pen to page I don't where to go no more Issa cold cold word for a brownskinned boy You can live for tomorrow and get lost in today You can reach for the stars till you fall into space You can swim in the calm, and get caught in a wave We could hide till it's gone, we could all run away I been tryna cope, I been in the gym whenever I have time to go I been writing songs I been seeking somebody who's down to help me when I'm steering off course But ain't no love for the brownskinned boy He ain't got no waves, oh he ride the bus They don't entertain me I guess I'm not enough But it's a lot pain that I got bottled up Maybe shit would change if I had someone to trust I always run away Katrina told me just because I may have made peace with it doesn't mean it's ok That haunts me to this day Thinking of all the things I hid and things I meant to say I pushed people away and now All I got is me, imma be ok Don't need no one else, imma make a change I'm all alone of course Ain't no love in this world for a brownskinned boy You can live for tomorrow and get lost in today You can reach for the stars till you fall into space You can swim in the calm, and get caught in a wave We could hide till it's gone, we could all run away Don't know where I'm from, but I know how I came I don't know my lineage, where I get this name? Probably from the ones, that put us in chains And we still in cuffs, to this very day They look down on us, like we not the same I could be yo cousin, but they took us away I struggle with identity cause it was taken from me We still enslaved we just making money, listen Less than a dollar an hour, busting they ass And them commissary rates inflated it's a trap n**** And they wonder why trap n****s keep the strap with em 12 make black people feel like we need a pistol It's like we guilty till we innocent I turn on the TV to see officer acquitted for the murder he committed Industrial complexes put my brothers in them prisons Under the 13th Amendment but I think we had enough, somethings gotta change They pull out a gun, take your life away It's a cold cold world of course Ain't no justice ain't no peace a brownskinned boy You can live for tomorrow and get lost in today You can reach for the stars till you fall into space You can swim in the calm, and get caught in a wave We could hide till it's gone, we could all run away
