Prayer: Please don't let me die tonight Please don't let this be my last good time tonight Please let me make it home to my family And don't let them be threatened by the melanin in me AMEN Bridge You aint gotta be a criminal Being melanated is enough I'm just tryna make it home Why is that do tough? The weapon that you see Is only skin deep And its THE MELANIN IN ME 1st verse Imagine being armed From the day that you were born Never having a choice But its a choice Like I ain't choose to be black But people choose not to like that And that just puts a target on my back But nevermind the facts I could be perfect with no lack And you'll still empty the clip in my ass It's like I can't win A hamster running in my glass pin And the whole world's tuned in watchin So who's gonna save me? The recordings will be saved But somehow they'll forget my name Or maybe they'll chant it in the streets But whose gonna save me Cuz it won't be the police Hook 2x It's that Melanin in me That'll get you 50 shots in these streets It's that Melanin in me It's that Melanin in me It's that Melanin in me That make em feel so incomplete IT'S THAT MELANIN IN ME! 2nd verse Why I gotta beg? Why I can't just live? Why I gotta be different? Where's my privilege? What I do to you For you to give me this hate? It's deeper than just a bad day It aint no way You just gone take my life And justice say that it's right When I'm just tryna enjoy my night Can you just tell me why? I'm just tryna make it home These officers won't leave me alone They keep tellin me I'm wrong But I'm not who they're lookin for But I'll always fit the description It's like the prescription Apparently To fix it Just kill em You can even shoot em in the back If they're black They'll show it on the TV And none of the officers will ever be guilty Its the wicked world we live in You aint gotta ask Cuz 50 shots is what they're givin Bullets dont have names But these officers do And there should be accountability When officers shoot There's no excuses But it'll all fade away And you'll die in vain But f*ck what they say You ain't deserve to be slain We'll carry your name And keep fighting for change Until they throw away these chains And let us outta the cage Hook 2x Guitar Solo
