I'm from the 2020 riot, your crime don't matter at all Best best to stay quiet if you wasn't involved Simply do what we need to, we don't need any Bluffs Fear the claws of the laws that don't love Us at all Feel the hatred, it don't matter if we're Sacred Never had a fair chance, was the mule in 40 Acres, can you compensate our fear? Genetic PTSD, leave a dollar for every tear Pockets never empty, fear turns to anger Anger turns to rage, all this pain snowballing Wish it would turn to rain, remove these fucking chains Give my people back their names The truth is our hope and dreams will never Be the same I guess I'm singing the blues, always paying My dues Is it really fake news, I guess that's why We confused The same system that's corrupting our youth Poison the food, poison the schools Use the media to turn us to tools Me against you, you against me And you wonder why we're so quick to shoot So quick to loot, look my babies in the eyes Turn my back so they don't see me cry Wish I could but I ain't got the time to take some time Descendants of kings and queens, sitting by the malls Tired and yet my skin color's a crime Ain't nothing like the present, hope the future carries blessings I'm fighting for the sun, storm, crescent Universal family, living universal law And big brother don't love us at all, can't find a way to evolve The reality is that we live here The reality is that we live here Had to be the worst writer's block experience yet Can't find inspiration, with your knee in my neck When my brothers and sisters suffer, I lose breath It's hard to get it back, like there ain't nothing left Gotta earn respect, gotta earn the trust You know, ain't no justice, you know Feeling guilty when I'm cooking for my babies When it's mothers and fathers like us mourning their babies Complete understatement, saying it's crazy When the genocide leaves us hazy Need all of us to rise, most of us ain't rising Hard to survive when they don't care about surviving Feel selfish when I make this shit personal But I can't deny, I'm created from original Original blood, yeah the original mud Original railroad, Ms. Harriet Tubb Had to snap Turner, if we should've turned her Other chicken left these racist motherfuckers burnin So I don't give a f*ck what his past was We gotta pass, the real is we gotta live here and make it pass Black boy lost, became a black boy family In the middle of a cesspool, pass it around Bad, bad police beat me, I was 14 My mama was too scared to say a thing If you was watching from the comfort of quarantine Shit, keep watching, don't say a thing The reality is that we live here The reality is that we live here The reality is that we live here The reality is that we live here The reality is that we live here The reality is that we live here
