To infinity and beyond now, that's how I count my blessings
If you focus on yourself, they gonna tell you that you're selfish
Scared of others thinking that you still amount to nothing
So you Snapchat your wins so they can know that you're finessing
Meanwhile there's people out in counties getting nothing
Many races still dying out because of suffering
I know you see the damage, look away and say nothing
I wonder how you sleep at night and get up every morning. Yeah
Listen Up
Listen up
I know there's people saying that I'm still on my soft ishhh
Pray for us
Amen
Did Martin Luther die just so we could lose our crowns
To see our blood shed and painted all around the town
My people never settled cuz they running all around
I have to see my people chased by the cops and gunned down
Click clack bang. When he's gone he can't be brought back
We die by the pistol or we die from fear attacks
The cop was fearing for his life but shot a brother in the back
And he was shot 20 times cuz they knew that he was black
Kill us in the day and then they kill us in the dark
We were minding our business till the protest to react
And all lives matter was a protest to ours
And white lives matter was a protest too far
Feeling like I'm Moses shouting let my people go
Address the situation just to let the people know
Pave a better way so we can see the little grow
Yo, I love my brother INI and I'm praying that be blows
Rest in peace the rappers who didn't make it to the end
X was lifeless in the car and smoke was shot up till he bled
We're either taken by the streets or we're taken by the feds
So when I go and meet the lord, I pray you bury me in red
Listen Up
Listen up
They used to take me for a fool until I said I had enough
Till I said I had enough
Yesterday, I learned to turn my 6 into a 9
So whatever situation, I just flip it upside down
And all the battles ever won, are won all overnight
So now I gotta make sure I never have to kiss the ground
I've been jumping over obstacles. I know I'm meant to touch the sky
If you keep quiet, we lose our mind before you testify
And your testimony helps the people to decide
It could separate the right and leave the wrong to the side
But when it comes to me, I never let the wrong decide
So they tell me that I'm cocky and I'm filling up with pride
I gotta brush it off and tell myself that it's fine
Cuz if they get in my head, they'll be ahead all the time
They'll be on top all the time
And I'll be stressed all the time
Cuz I'll be pissed and I wouldn't be at peace all the time
Cuz I'll probably be in pieces
They say I'm never there whenever they need me
I move in certain ways. They say I'm way over my head
I'm working all the time, I barely get to eat the bread
Now they begging for some food they never checked if I was fed
But I'm not petty like the rest, I never wanna see you dead
Scrolling through my twitter in the hopes of feeling better
I've been breaking all the pieces just to put them back together
Stop begging for reward it you didn't put the effort
Don't expect to be a diamond if you didn't go through pressure
If you're a sucker to the world, you let the people deceive you
If you let your guard down, you let the people defeat you
I'm just speaking from experience even though I don't need to
I'm looking forward to my sleep. I know everything's peaceful
If I ever have a dream, I pray you never wake me up
Cuz in the real world, everything is messing up
You used to take me for a fool until I said I had enough
You broke that pinkie promise, now I don't know how to trust
I need a helping hand so I'm begging for some guidance
They've been tipping all the scales now I'm begging for some balance
Used to have a lot of questions, always begging for some answers
Now I'm begging for some silence
