Growing up black is some shit
Don't know the R word but you sense that ish
Tightly clutched purse out the blue
Most of us don't fit your distorted view
Matter fact plenty of us do anything we can do
To not fit in the boxes you procreate socially
Angry black woman, Violent black man two used openly
Yet here we are Karen with you tryna to tell me about my life
Like how is it so bad if I'm at whole foods right
See my boss has an unchecked racial biased
This keeps her from giving everyone a fair shot
Told my superiors time and time again
But they care not
See they praise me in front of corporate it makes em look good
But really they would f*ck me any chance that they could
But I still just keep my head
Level my anger with a blunt instead
Too poor too black the story of my life
That's why they told me take the program
No faith in the system to do right
Though evidence suggest my charge a scam
I can't pay someone to care enough to fight
Heart heavy with a hopeless disbelief
I got white friends who paid to get theirs wiped
Their emotional support was brief
10K for a withheld disposition
Judge said convicted by accident laughed it off
Your joke turns to my act of sedition
Get the rona have that smug face get a wet cough
Jax system is lost
When my mom go to jail over a drunk that's pale
America's system is lost
When cops knee you to death with charges unmet
Racism here everyday
My fro get a oh my we touch it it's so
We are tired of being tired
And never ever feeling safe
Nah I swear to god I never feel safe
Not at my home or job
There's not a single fucking place
But I still just keep my head
Level my anger
With a blunt instead
We as a people must know
Let the hate stew and we can't grow
I think how can you sleep at night
Knowing you toke an innocent life
King said to turn the other cheek
But my face is bleeding and I can't see
There's only red before me
Every time I hurt the pain run deep
Oh
What if next up is me
What if next up is me
What if next up is me
What if next up is
