Why I gotta bleed for the colour of my skin?
Like, why we ain't free? Bet they hoping we pretend
Boxed up like a bird, cage, draw the gates
No way we ain't burning with hate
Why the old folks die with their brains on the street?
Police don't cry for the ones who can't breathe
Life goes in a blur, haze, medicate
I shed tears for the broken fates
Why I needa bleed for my skin?
Why I needa hide from the tint?
Why die when I ain't commit the sin?
F*ck game rules, bitch, I'm from the East where the Game Cube
Chute me down the drain, but I'm used to all the pain tubes
Same dude, 'member I gave you eight cues
Or eight clues, yell it til I became mute,
Same me, motherfucker, same you
Bleed the same, reap the same, skin made outta cellophane
We cry the same, unless somebody get murdered on the streets
And all you bitches dwell your fame
Remember to like and share until you feel like you've repaired
All the crimes on streets of red paint
Pursuing heads, call me Ichabod Crane
Leaving pain in your cranium like an ichiban gang
My brand symbol heated up with one character, like pleurisy
So my enemies recall my last name, motherfucker
Yeah, I know the sun don't shine sometimes
But, how we tryna bring these problems light?
Why I gotta bleed for the colour of my skin?
Like, why we ain't free? Bet they hoping we pretend
Boxed up like a bird, cage, draw the gates
No way we ain't burning with hate
Why the old folks die with their brains on the street?
Police don't cry for the ones who can't breathe
Life goes in a blur, haze, medicate
I shed tears for the broken fates
Gold is in my skintone
Mineral marrow just like a split bone
I spark viridian like a Flintstone, that's my emerald
Only diamond in the rough, do you get my MO?
Did you get my memo? FO if you driving late to the party
I might forget your name like Harvey
Dent in your nape, Marley
Coin me Two-faced like Harley
Yet, I hardly ever really know where to start
Might profess your death like a Japanese harp
Might provoke your death, red tiger lily heart
Might evoke your death, it's a controversial art
Bystanders be bystanders like, "I saw the least"
Splitting heads and legs on the lobe like isosceles
$20 trip to my mind, litmus paper can
Take the V the side to show you what I'm greater than
Yea, to show you what I'm greater than
All these motherfuckers tryna show you I'm a lesser man
Thinkin' that it's right about time to learn a lesson, fam
We all bleed the same colour in the motherland
Yea, I know the sun don't shine sometimes
But, how we tryna bring these problems light?
Yea, I know the sun don't shine sometimes
It won't shine sometimes
Three verses, I'll wrap it up like a sheikh turban
Knees hurting, I'll bandage it up like these virgins
Bee's Burt, you can't spit, your chapped lip's burning
Get in my way, I'm choppin 'em down like a tree surgeon
All aboard, this is your memento mori
We all die with a question like a sickle story
Better watch your step, get checked by the fickle flooring
Cops shoot artificial freckles like a stipple drawing
Cops shoot artificial pebbles like my art is official
We drawing Michelin stars like we ain't heard of initials
Initially, got me strained, smoking gingko leaves
Stickier than maple trees, paranoid got your neck spinning like samara leaves
Wait until the sorrow bleeds
Just cuz I'm yellow don't mean I got disease
Just cuz we're mellow don't mean we should be deceased
Why can't y'all see me as a human being?
Rhyme scheme lookin like Earl with the referral
Shooting pearls like an arrow in the barrel
I'm a B roll but, see, he roll like a hero
Questioning my faith like we Roman these cathedrals
Say I don't sin but I'm sinning, forgive me father
I don't swim, but I'm swimming in someone's daughter
A literary effect, whether it's death or sex
We don't deserve to die young cuz our skin is complex
