[00:14.15]I ain't been this hurt ever
[00:16.36]And we deserve better
[00:17.93]When you see destruction it's corruption then it's vendetta
[00:21.05]We can stand or settle every black boy ain't just born ghetto
[00:24.79]But we're in this bracket police tactics holding warm metal
[00:28.18]Whether you athlete or a actress this is hard as ever
[00:31.82]All just pose distractions moving backwards while we're all disheveled
[00:35.2]Why we can't ignore this devil
[00:37.06]My peoples more than fed up
[00:38.86]We just earn a fraction when there's actually much more to give us
[00:42.24]Riddled in these lies oppressors wanna kill our strides
[00:45.32]Though the only way they can shake us up is to take lives
[00:48.85]It's cowardice
[00:49.85]Fists hoisted high will leave them powerless
[00:52.29]Dog this ain't new to us it took too long just to acknowledge this
[00:56.26]Our black skin is amethyst our melanin discovered
[00:58.98]Spread our culture like Evangelists
[01:01.22]Anunnaki tribes now there's bludgeoned black lives
[01:04.5]Though it's constant we can't be conditioned or desensitized
[01:07.58]To break the stigmas rise
[01:09.64]Freedom Fighters reuniting please just be advised
[01:12.84]We can wage together break the penn to free my guys
[01:16.9]Every fiber in me says that we built ain't for this demise
[01:19.979996]Overstand what hatred does but don't let it eat you alive
[01:24.11]First time looking in the mirror
[01:26.68]Another one resting in the fight
[01:30.38]Rolling the dice to get the game going
[01:33.84]The game gone take another life
[01:37.21]And I know it makes no sense
[01:40.6]Can everyone be selfish
[01:44.04]I'll cry about it 'cause
[01:47.08]I don't wanna
[01:48.78]I don't wanna die
[01:50.83]When the music from the soul boy you Future-Proof
[01:54.7]Throw my fam a couple bucks know they could use a few
[01:58.009995]Yeah I wish that I had more but I make due with two
[02:01.38]Just monitor what type of energy is fueling you
[02:04.74]Our ancestors our antennas
[02:07.39]Reaching for a place
[02:09.17]Somewhere out of space
[02:10.29]Or just somewhere
[02:11.59]Now I'm running circles in this labyrinth
[02:14.18]Many just avoid the pain I had to decongest it
[02:17.43]Fools just manifest it
[02:19.26]I was there without this motive rolled over in my emotions
[02:22.70999]I ain't listen when you said things'll change when you get older
[02:25.94]Now its funny I'm hearing whispers on my conscious
[02:28.62]And though it hurts to reminisce the thoughts with you are timeless
[02:32.53]Couldn't wait to tell you bout how I got some records out
[02:35.9]Always lent an ear to me and always down check it out
[02:39.51]Tensions boiling over that s**t creeping through my dome
[02:42.75]I fear another death so much I dread just picking up my phone
[02:45.99]My fortitude is high I saw my homeys in the sky
[02:49.3]Seeking for another chance on this planet we reside
[02:52.68]Wish that I could hold your hand wish that we could be together
[02:56.28]I learned the hard way that Nothing Seems To Last Forever
[03:00.17]Or does it
[03:01.11]First time looking in the mirror
[03:04.32]Another one resting in the fight
[03:07.76]Rolling the dice to get the game going
[03:11.25]The game gone take another life
[03:14.6]And I know it makes no sense
[03:17.88]Can everyone be selfish
[03:21.57]I'll cry about it 'cause
[03:24.48]I don't wanna
[03:26.39]I don't wanna die
