rashaann - random thoughts, pt. 3 lyrics

[intro: rashaann]
aww man
know i had to hit ’em with a part three real quick
let me talk to ’em

[verse 1: rashaann]
i started writing this sh+t during deep contemplation
inspired by my very first time leaving the nation
realizing that we suffer from lack of appreciation
and i been affected too, this sh+t is really contagious
now i understand my people still suffering from hatred
and i f+cking hate it, yeah i f+cking hate it
and all those lives lost, man we can never replace ’em
but let’s stop using that for us to be complacent
and let’s stop saying that we wasn’t ‘sposed to make it
when one of our kind grinds to rise to occasion
all that ever does is just add to conversation
of excuses we been making h+lla generations
of the system holding back n+ggas, that’s just motivation
and maybe i’m alone, but i know i’m ‘sposed to make it
sick of these reminders, our people lacking in power
kinda like these slave movies, crimes, and police shootings
let’s find some new solutions, but think about the blessing
the success is more appealing when it’s unexpected
rather than someone on a straight path to manifest it
no hardships, no struggles, ain’t equipped for the pressure
but while we steady focused on the separation
do you know what we can learn from unfamiliar faces?
different ages, different races, and people from different places
but we stay separated by concepts of the races
[interlude: rashaann]
aw man we got jon lewis in this b+tch
gotta give him a proper introduction to talk his sh+t
he just touched down, i didn’t even hear his verse yet so i’m just as surprised as y’all are
jon lewis where you at?

[verse 2: jon lewis]
it’s been up and on my mind, things been different as of late
we living in a crazy time, still gotta make a way
know that nerves are at a high in this pandemic state
but hard separating real from the fake
tell us stay up in the house, folks say we should listen
’til it’s time to leave and now they saying that they trippin’
maybe now it’s time that we make our own decisions
and that’s real
’cause it’s like they give the blueprint since we some was little kids
tell us things just happen and it is what it is
but that done took a toll after all of them years
now they wonder why anxiety and depression are some fears
’cause folks gon’ count your l’s before they wipe away your tears
and we gon’ change the topic ‘fore we talk ’bout something serious
for many, isolation made it hard to look in mirrors
validation from your peers and a job to keep you busy
work up through the ranks and then retire when you 60
gotta change the thinking, we can dream for more
strive to help another dream or work to help for yours
god gave you a purpose, walk in it, you gotta soar
and you know that i’ma soar
[interlude: rashaann]
and you know that i’ma soar
now i know we talking ’bout some heavy topics but we still having a good time
but i ain’t done yet, let me go back in

[verse 3: rashaann]
for most of my life i was focused on being liked
so i would keep thoughts to myself out of the fear i might
cause confrontation, but f+ck that sh+t now i fight
for everything that i believe, making sure the approach is right
’cause differentiated ideas could really change some lives and
people realize if they open up they mind they’ll
be able to see where they don’t want us to look
’cause you know they keep the lie buried in the books
i wanna change the education system’s methods
feeling like it’s too much emphasis on perfection
and they try to teach us it’s only one way of doing things
stripping us of our creative expression
never quite understood the concept of testing
like in the real world we can’t get help with a question
but off that, i’m off that, got more raps that’s all facts
exhausted from mindsets and i can’t just fall back
y’all saying n+ggas ain’t sh+t, b+tches ain’t sh+t, i get it
but the fact is both accurate, my n+gga
hypocrisy is just a part human nature
so reflect on your own acts the next time you say it
and n+ggas misogynistic, so baby just know i get it
can’t lie that i’ve been addicted to feelings the p+ssy gives me
but never been disrespectful, these n+ggas ain’t got no limits
these n+ggas be really tripping, i side with your feminism
but i lose respect girl, it shouldn’t matter
you lose all them morals when he’s of a higher status
and when he exceeds beyond your tax bracket
so you telling me that’s not a toxic action?
throwing words around, but be blind to yourself
but off that, some trapped, i just wish i could help
wishing every soul living had ambition but the truth is
the sh+t we look down on, somebody gotta do it
yeah you getting money, but who babysitting?
you go out to eat, but tell me who’s in the kitchen
you the boss dawg, but who carries out your vision?
them employees that you hired that ain’t got the riches
but i can guarantee you that they rich in spirit
through the hardships doing the best for their children
and crying behind closed doors, but smiling in their face
and enforcing values to make the world a better place
so the next time you witness someone going through the struggle
make sure you ain’t looking down on ’em motherf+cker
’cause roles can switch, now you out tryna recover
and you ain’t equipped, to be the one to have to suffer
you know people really love to see a finished product
but quick to disregard you when you just a work+in+progress
but don’t take it personal, that’s just the way of the world
from strangers, but even worse from the ones that you love
lately it’s been f+ck everybody, that’s just one half of me
the other focused on having faith in humanity
’cause i’ve been let down so many times
but it’s balanced by some pure+hearted people i found
why do we put so much emphasis on who ain’t there?
‘stead of ‘preciating the ones that prove they care
you swallow pride, express yourself, and then what they do?
all they do is show you they ain’t sincere
they make it clear, but don’t you ever change, young man
’cause when they throw them flowers on your grave, young man
that’s when they choose to appreciate, young man
now they speaking highly of your name, young man
same sh+t they disregard while you here, young man
is the same sh+t to make ’em shed tears, young man
you was hoping they would notice it for years, young man
now they sorry but you ain’t there to forgive, young man
just being real, young man
now how you feel, young man
d+mn
[interlude: rashaann]
got a n+gga running out of breath and all that
i swear to god y’all gotta play this at my funeral
