Been down bad from the block Run fast but we ain't catching up So we gotta keep going Been picked on by the cops Suspect, put us all in the box But we gotta keep going This been weighing heavy on my heart Why won't this war ever stop? We just gotta keep going I said we gotta keep going, yeah I said we gotta keep – I feel like I've grown up way too quick My perspective been jaded, I've hated this shit ever since I was a kid in the class, forced to pledge allegiance To a country that don't want me to exist I've been pissed off, fist up, bottle anger in As an oppressor make me bite my bottom lip Don't explode or they'll put you in the pen Darkness closing in all around me If you see me walking don't talk to me Life has been really hard for me Heart been guarded with armory All parts of me have been cautiously navigating this army of Killers, racists, and officers holding hands in comradery Autumn leaves have been dropping and falling onto the concrete Crumbling, being crushed like my people by our society I could be worry free but the fear is growing inside of me It's constantly reminding me that life could be fickle, all of my people really Been down bad from the block Run fast but we ain't catching up We just gotta keep going Been picked on by the cops Suspect, put us all in the box But we gotta keep going This been weighing heavy on my heart Why won't this war ever stop? We just gotta keep going Yeah, I said we gotta keep going Yeah, I said we gotta keep – Fist in the air praise king Kaep Worried on the block who the cops finna shoot at today? This the new wave This the vibe change This the break the system so we can feel sane for once Let me walk the block and feel safe for once Give me a country that got taste for once Look, check Black love, black power to my brothers and sisters It's been a long time coming now we rocking the system Right, left uppercut to the founding fathers and they can catch these hands I know they turning in their grave when they see me dance It kinda feels like a power shift Black boys and girls growing up with a new dynamic, a new gist See you best believe lil baby, baby we run shit but still… We been down bad from the block Run fast but we ain't catching up So we gotta keep going Been picked on by the cops Suspect, put us all in the box But we gotta keep going This been weighing heavy on my heart Why won't this war ever stop? We just gotta keep going Yeah, I said we gotta keep going, yeah I said here we go again, this ain't nothin new I should listen to my kin and go cop a tool Well, in my defense amendment number two Really don't protect niggas, man, that's my point of view Have the kids take a vest with 'em when they go to school Cause the cops be arresting them, no reason or proof And you could be the next nigga, watch how you move Feelin real hesitant to break any rule Cause you know that they favor the white man Yeah, I'm light skin, 1 plus 5'10 Just a lover, never fightin' Spittin' rhymes cause I can't stay silent They turn on a dime when we need em, now they hidin' Voted Biden cause, I mean, who else imma choose Every candidate be trippin', just go look at the news Every motherfucker got some loose screws Feelin' like this whole thing was a lose lose Damn, I shoulda knew cause I... Really been down bad from the block Run fast but we ain't catching up So we gotta keep going Been picked on by the cops Suspect, put us all in the box But we gotta keep going This been weighing heavy on my heart Why won't this war ever stop? We just gotta keep going Yeah, I said we gotta keep going Yeah, I said we gotta keep – Look, what the f*ck is this world dog? Every time I turn around something falling apart I put my pain in my art, cuz it can't stay in my heart I'm tryna change the world for real but I don't know where to start I put my soul into these verses, all I get is applause But nothing's changing, it's amazing how defying the odds Won't ever even the score, we pleading for something more But just discussing ain't enough for them to change up the law Cuz I done witnessed the politicians admit to a system Then say "reform" and other shit that make us want to believe them But really justice never been a listing on their agenda So come election time we feeling like no hope is within us And I think Joe is a win but only cuz Donald isn't Kamala shines as a beacon for all our colorful women But she was still up in Oakland everyday sentencing niggas So really how can I celebrate knowing war is still present Explain that
