Set The Tone

I made a promise to myself I wouldn't bicker back Vocally strapped but I rather put it on a track I rather drill it in my head till I remember it It just my way of injecting myself with medicine Better than them and this ain't just bout the pen They rather rot in the pin my finger tapping within The only one that can judge me She can't even touch me I'm screwing up my face it's getting musty Never rusty don't be funny that's my skin tone They pull me over my hands up for the end zone I've always been precautionary this can end wrong I'm a shoulder so I got to keep my head strong My meds gone guess it's time for me to go ahead and re up Over think the process so I never really eat lunch I'll take a couple shots there's my shot just to eat brunch Bite into instrumentals like gristle that's a mean crunch I promised myself I wouldn't hide What's inside I get high and low something like the tide Yea I cried when my grandma died Don't shed many tears No ammo for my peers Only trust my engineer New year, Same me , same goals , getting close I got two hands prepared myself a toast To some I'm like a ghost Nigga see me if you see me I promise I will pop up on your tv The flow is Fiji I promised myself I said I promised myself Light the sativa Heating like up a fever Choose to go against me, I wouldn't either Grasping for the heir of the throne you need a breather See me Anita (I need the) Soul to really bounce from your speaker Since BLM I had to stop and think I was actually 12 when I experienced stop and frisk Target on my back for the color of my skin Put my hands up to avoid a cuff on the wrist Fast forward I'm grown, the years will miss you Being black will get you kissed by a pistol Unloading magazines cause the color is the issue I'm not talking Angel Soft family crying on the tissue The trauma is real Mercedes help me understand that the traumas surreal To be at a disadvantage from the minute you breathe To be far from the average but you get labeled the mean Numbers don't lie but the stats do change Charge it to the game but me I'm due change See this verse it's not politically charged I see the hearse and I'm racially scarred Broken promises that I never tried to fix Clothed in obstacles that I never got to fit I'm Taylor made to take swift Action, when the safety of my brothers at risk I promise you this You see I promise to be the best version of myself Not in retaliation but in rehabilitation Cause we all got to heal
