I know you're toting chrome Trigger finger never letting go Pressure got you blowing strong Only thing to balance out the lows Thumb and index by a thread, but you're still holding on Pick your head up Long as you've got me, you're not alone Sit still, no need to be a rolling stone When you're in my arms, you're home Like Alicia Keys, I'll be your diary You've been through many things That much I can agree Stick with you through anything, but don't you lie to me Cause I ain't talking bout college when I say first degree Just playing, I ain't gon hurt you Cause the world done did enough So I just wanna nurture you Feed your soul Ease your mind Cause round the clock, you watch your back Like that's your 9 to 5 But you ain't worried bout no suckers coming to bust you It's them red and blue lights and badges that you don't trust You feel like your life is ashes to ashes Dust to dust You're educated, you protest, you vote Is that still not enough So when you're out here on your grind, you keep it tucked Don't wanna end up in a body bag or hand cuffs Just know when you're down bad and you look up You'll see me standing by your side It's the world against us I know you're toting chrome Trigger finger never letting go Pressure got you blowing strong Only thing to balance out the lows Thumb and index by a thread, but you're still holding on Pick your head up Long as you've got me, you're not alone Sit still, no need to be a rolling stone When you're in my arms, you're home Got five lil' brothers, and I love'em all Father has an older son locked behind them cell walls Don't really know him that well Cause he's been in and out of jail since we was small But that's my brother, so I hold him down Come from different seeds, but we're tight like frat Our mamas and daddies Black, so we was born Black But ain't nothing wrong with that No other skin I'd rather be in Proud of my color, and I'm gon love it Until I'm no longer breathing No silver spoon, don't come from luxury We weather the storm Can't let nothing trouble me Got some brothers been hitting licks since they was six They get up and chase it Intentions good, just gotta know where to place it I understand you gotta get to the green Make your lettuce Don't ask for permission It's never are you gonna let us Daddy while you was in jail I read and kept all your letters Hate the way we fell out Seemed to have misled us You didn't have your father in your life either So the decisions that you made, it is what it is I can't blame ya Every Black man do me a favor Be in your kids life After all, you helped make'em Yeah I take this family thing serious Cause if we don't, it's so easy to Create a cycle that's so vicious Our childhood should be rainbows, hugs, and kisses But the way the system set up, They're pipelining us from schools to prisons Black man, Black man Just know I love you Been through a bagga tings, but don't you give up Never say die Hold your chin up As a woman, I can only partly understand your struggle But we're in this together The things you go and been through It's no wonder Why you're toting chrome Trigger finger never letting go Pressure got you blowing strong Only thing to balance out the lows Thumb and index by a thread, but you're still holding on Pick your head up Long as you've got me, you're not alone Sit still, no need to be a rolling stone When you're in my arms, you're home Thumb and index by a thread, but you're still holding on When you're in my arms, you're home When you're in my arms, you're home
