This is Yeah Jacob Mbayo, huh Rahel what up! Woah Yeah Woah Yeah Woah Yeah Let's go Last year was a long ride We lost lives and we lost time Hearts, minds tore us apart Kind of like the apartheid There was a time where sanity Yeah I lost mine So we're caught in this false grind Where it feels almost wrong To call out an enemy if they cross lines Victimized by assault, crimes And those put in power seem to walk blind But when it's our kind, it's all fine and they just charge fines In an era that is moving at the speed of a click It really takes a man slaughtered on camera for people to really see that it's sick And when the posts on social media start dying out The problem starts to cease to exist This world, I ain't staying People out in the streets letting that can blam I had to speak about it, sat down and started getting on a roll In other words, for this I can't stand Okay I drop jewels like Killer Mike and El-P Tell my stories though hella rhymes and LP's You frauds speak a dialect we don't dare speak And that means there's nothing that they can tell me I'm not a hypebeast But these gorillas chasing checks to be supreme and will never be on my LV I pray the Lord keeps me healthy I'm in the gym doing me, turning L's into LB's Honestly the constant hate is starting to vex me Pardon me if the fake love don't impress me I didn't plan to be called the chosen My raps are the spur of the moment like DeMar DeRozan But I prepare for the worst and I pray for the best And try to look at my obstacles like I'm taking a test I poor my heart into these lines and every single lyric This is a message for anybody that needs to hear it And I feel all I can do is do wrong Had to speak about it, been silent for too long How I'm feeling How I'm feeling is too strong Searching for how to move on It's clear to me Together's how it's supposed to be and Yes With you and me We'll make it through eventually Yes Quarantine after quarantine So it seems it gets more extreme As a kid you probably vow to stay strong and never fall in front of no disease But in the heat of the moment, we had the coldest feet Everything closed, but I still speak openly Floating deep in my inner thoughts tryna pick apart who I was like I couldn't even notice me So I kick game on the mic (What's that?) Jordan 3's (Right) And it still sound good like some Jodeci I'm bringing victories back home for the bro to see Uh huh I'm doing me, don't need a crew for help (Not at all) They steady asking why I focused on the rapping Like I ain't been spitting since I was a kid, I'm staying true to self (Right) Like I ain't been stacking books filled with rhymes by the dozen All over the desk and my parents newest shelves (Right) 'Cause staying true to yourself could be the purest wealth (Come on!) Look, I gotta devise a plan That's not about the paper or moving a thousand fans But more about the love and about giving out a hand And showing someone that there is way more to like than grams But me myself have seen the societal screen placed upon certain realms And they really don't understand That's why I need me a scheme unrelated to green So we can come together and you could see what I'm saying And what I'm saying is that times will get rough But will you fall and back down or stand tall and get up Seeing brothers knocked down and my family in the clouds Didn't say it out loud, but it got me messed up Walking through this life alone is very scary, I get it If you ever wanna find a quest together, I'm with it Throughout all of this pain, I still look for my purpose 'Cause the day you stop searching is the day you stop living And I feel all I can do is do wrong Had to speak about it, been silent for too long How I'm feeling How I'm feeling is too strong Searching for how to move on It's clear to me Together's how it's supposed to be and With you and me We'll make it through eventually
