Please Mister Don't take my life away, oh I had plans sir Lunch with the wife today Oh, oh And with no reason I fade to the blackness Ain't the faintest idea what just happened Well I'm sorry My skin tone could not appease and We're left with broken families With only broken picture frames to cry on at night A shattered image of a brother Tryna stray from a fight You know his mother taught him how to say Yes, sir No, sir But manners only brought his life A curtain with no closure, uh Close your eyes The way your soldier did to block the hate You close your eyes to heal But his are closed until the gate opens And he can say goodbye to the omens Blast away to higher ground with feelings unspoken But, at least he free from the madness Ain't that often niggas get to choose how life happens And when it goes dark to the beat of that hammer click We think about his last words for a minute When he ask the man Please Mister Don't take my life away, oh I had plans sir Lunch with the wife today Oh, oh And with no reason I fade to the blackness Ain't the faintest idea what just happened Well I'm sorry My skin tone could not appease and We're left with broken families Everybody knows it's cold out here Forced to take their pill, but I'm choking on fear There ain't no reason for all this Small names on tall lists A world so lawless we have to take the fall This time File straight in a line And act like everything that happens is fine Ain't no reward we receive When they tell us leave, oh And we're left with broken families I owe my father more than lying dead at coward feet If I admit I'm scared to die Will it help me sleep If I take on my Sheppard name Can I lead the sheep Or will I sheepishly ship off until I find my feet This ain't a world of black and white Yo' that sound so bleak I can't explain the way I turn a head amongst the meek It's maybe cause they mama wasn't there to kiss their cheek But when they hate me for the way I am I only think We isn't them I turn around and love my neighbor I will not let my soul be swallowed up with blood and anger Go on and flip me off Hit you with my first two fingers We haven't reached the mountaintop so Imma escalator Please Mister Don't take my life away, oh I had plans sir Lunch with the wife today Oh, oh And without reason I fade to the blackness Ain't the faintest idea what just happened Well I'm sorry My skin tone could not appease and We're left with broken families Everybody knows it's cold out here Forced to take their pill, but I'm choking on fear There ain't no reason for all this Small names on tall lists A world so lawless we have to take the fall This time File straight in a line And act like everything that happens is fine Ain't no reward we receive When they tell us leave, oh And we're left with broken families
