[intro]
yeah!
this right here’s for all my n+ggas!
this right here’s for+++
yeah

[verse 1]
i get closer everyday to the brink
my soul ain’t sitting right, my heart ain’t beating well or in sync
i get lost inside my thoughts when i think, all my wisdom extinct
just an artist when i’m rapping, when if we link
a n+gga boy to this systеm that wants me dead or gone missing
and got mе fed up existing. i’ll throw my life in the ring
just to feel something. anything to feel something
now even stating what i like brings me anger, fear, and spite
i ain’t lost, just a soldier with his helmet and his knife
lost the rifle and his sight, i ain’t pressed, just ight
at my best when i’m mourning or i’m stressing through the night
haven’t known happiness since i was pushed forced to see the light
i know i’m passionate but that won’t be enough to prove i’m right
am i wrong if i’m questioning the methods of our fight
how much is my freedom worth if freedom’s free for whites
the men i thought were leaders showed their colors blue and pink
corrupted by the substance, capitol their ghoulish kink
tossed the goal aside and tore us down for cuban links
’cause n+ggas gon be broke until the systems’ broken
they showed me why i stand with women when it’s fists we’re holding
ain’t satisfied till it’s survivors that we give devotion
i hope you notice i’ve been focused on my actions mostly
and stepping back, lending sp+ce for those not in this for the boasting
i hear stomping in the street, will i rise or ride the beat
if my eyes are watching god i’d find some solace on my feet
no more silence not from me, i let my conscience loose to speak
all these actions and words as intentional as can be
[verse 2]
yo
we want revision, some n+ggas don’t see the vision
not begging for you to listen but hold up, shift your pistons
they’re gearing up for a war and we’re peering off to the distance
fighting for revolution, you marching for recognition!
what is it, that you wanted? decisions, fall upon us
to make, so we can break and be victims like how they want us
predictable as a sonnet, you’d k!ll us for half their privilege
dawg, black men we living so disingenuous
pillaging our own villages for everything that’s provided
by all our family united until we’re entering
and say all black lives matter until it’s megan
and courtney, brayla, or kayla we aiming our hatred aimless
i hate it! tell me why we can’t just say her name
n+gga

[verse 3]
i hear them in the crowd, shouting out “let them speak”
before the bullets fly, i’m arriving at my peace
and it’s there for a second. gone in a blink
so i don’t need a ride i’ll drive myself to the brink
dearly departed. dearly departed
i hope you’re happy now
look what you started
[chorus]
i don’t know what’s out there
but it’s slow for down here
won’t need a ride where i’m going
i’ll drive myself there
i don’t know what’s out there
but it’s slow for down here
won’t need a ride where i’m going
i’ll drive myself there, self there

[outro]
yeah
this right here’s for all my n+ggas!
hahaha!
