Welcome to the life I live where I thought that I was gonna go crazy And it felt like I did Down the road march to the foes weary with targeted skin But we gettin rest for the kids Cause who am I to sit on my black ass as if justice is free Like ain't no price to live in peace if you look even sightly like me Like we wasn't set up differently Yours granted access to ends You'd never have to defend Or depend on a system meant to only give you privileged access to pen Convinced you're never enough Stained with a pain our ancestors thought they'd taken for us Where without cries from or for our mothers your reaper will take us in deafening silence And outcry for rights labeled as trivial violence Now I see Its not an issue of issues gone unseen But the fact you neglect your willful ignorance affects me And though we beg and we plead Body after body forced to head to the streets Gassed or not these tears that stream are all too familiar to me Knees to concrete not in prayer but in proclamation of the words that are haunting I can't breathe, there's no reprieve And you will still aim to fault me in torment I can not brandish a weapon I was born with White man we did not ask to be in this country we were forced in You swore to serve and protect Well sir would you please get your foot out of my neck Or at least give my momma some justice with my personal effects And then you ask why we riot It's cause we're sick and we're tired of fighting Only for you to have decided To ignore what was the cause and place your focus on the after When all we ask is in our deaths, for skin tone not to be a factor And in our births to be reverenced without the words being splattered But until then, we fight for kin We raise our fists Black Lives Matter Up ahead there's a long winded fight for peace If I don't well then who is gonna fight for me Unfair to be given to be given this life it seems But somethings coming Gotta keep goin goin My friend took a really long time to see System hasn't ever been meant for we Unfair to be given this fight it seems But somethings coming Gotta keep goin goin Its alright my nigga Know you gettin tired seems the task's getting bigger know the times seem dark but the light don't whither They can never kill the fight in us Its alright my nigga Know you gettin tired know the task seems bigger know the times seem dark but the light don't whither They can never kill the fight in us Up ahead there's a long winded fight for peace If I don't fight well who is gonna fight for me Unfair to be given to be given this life it seems But somethings coming Gotta keep goin goin My friend took a really long time to see System hasn't ever been meant for we Unfair to be given this life it seems But somethings coming Gotta keep goin goin Its alright my nigga Know you seem tired know the task seems bigger know the times seem dark but the light don't whither They can never kill the fight in us
