My people been lied on Still can't keep a light on Now they asking what side I'm on Feeling like it's always been a battle Got locked up and since that day I went and got a sidearm Never thought I'd ever need to fire Always had some shit I had my eye on Knew shit was racist but shit goddamn Can't even pretend no more Already had seen some shit aye Then again I'm about to end some shit aye F*ck what they say f*ck what they say Another black man got shot now they're dead How you gone say that he'd still be alive if he had just done what they had said Goddamn nigga They aint really fucking with us goddamn niggas Try and protest they put a bigger round in you Ain't no due process you in the ground nigga Try to get some paper but it's top down nigga Confederate symbols cause we southbound nigga How can you ever expect me to pledge to a flag that has not yet restored what we had Damn How you gone say that you dont understand but you got the statistic Oh now you gone say that I'm one of the good one's I beat a statistic Still don't feel at home in this land Still don't know what tribe that I'm in Might get a chain and a benz just like the chain that I'm in You got white hoes and white friends I got some friend's in the pen I got a pad and a pen Sing and dance they'll let you in Dread's on my head Jordan's my feet That don't mean I'm in a gang But I promise if you come and you stepping to me imma let that shit bang Clip in my hand strap on my hip Niggas be violent Difference between me and you My history dont hide it White folks be wilding slavery for people they finding Can't even hit up an island All of these white folks they nihilist Why the hell ya'll hiding knowledge I don't wanna go to your college You said I ain't one of your people I have just seen too much evil I got some stresses to think I don't want my money in your bank You know this is not your land Bitch nigga I am not your friend You made that shit clear from the jump This is not a game you said this is what you want So yeah imma give you what you want Pull that shit out the fucking trunk Nigga you is just a bunch of chumps This is not a game nigga I know what you want Remember cause my grandma saw it posted on the door Remember cause you had my ass pressed up on the floor F*ck all that peace that you say Heard all them lies that you spray Keeping them kids in a cage Police ain't keeping me safe Now I gotta reach in the safe Keep all them bad guys away And the bad guy today Is the one reading the case It's the one's locking us up Knee in our neck and we can't fucking breathe Tell me why you cannot see There's a human right underneath
