Verse I
Do or die
Mothers cry I don’t lie, unify
It ain’t a game out here, too much pain and fear
Headlights beaming like we bout to kill a dear and ain’t nobody vegan Last year I picked up the lost art of reading got clean, defeated my demons Freedom means breathing, creating chances for your s#men
I got friends, that got weak bones who aren’t always my friends I got enemies, that sometimes want the same things as me
Bottom of the ninth, center field line drive, better dive with a slide catch it and be safe, my n#gg#
Where I stay, I feel disgrace my n#gg#
not too long ago they tried to erase a whole race my n#gg#
Today they are telling me stay in your place the judge is out to make a case my n#gg#
Living with contradictions and consequences
of jurisdiction already in middle school teachers are making predictions of who is going to jail
Chorus I
Finding yourself Promising wealth River of health Flow and prevail
Get up, walk the steps of your path get up, don’t hold on to the past
Verse II
30 thousand feet above my problems at the bottom I was caught before
I hit the deck
Disconnecting numbers, I’m on flight mode
n#gg#s stand for nothing, fall like autumn
If you want it then we got it, I’m in exile like Asata
This a liberation for the next generation Need to raise up the elevation high
Uh, tryna catch my breath
Had to outrun all these doubts that they projected on me yes You’re playing checkers this is chess
My n#gg# check it this the end
You so possessive with your ego
How you ever make a man’s
Go say you wrong
Go play the fence
Go play yourself
I pay my rent
my bills is due
I say again
my body bruised the pain intends
Chorus II
Finding yourself Promising wealth River of health Flow and prevail
Get up, walk the steps of your path get up, don’t hold on to the past
Verse III
Blood sweat and tears
Deeply invested when I don’t want to be here A part of the collective oppression
With my presence, my consumption
The assumption is that everything changes Once I escape the beast
In which I have ate plenty feast
I doubt that that’s the truth
The earths and gods I’m with make the proof When we meditate under one roof
The buzzer ringing, why you hitting the snooze
That’s okay, we ain’t all the same
you get excited when you bring fame to your name Flooding the chains
There must be something cold in your veins
Do you get depressed when it rains
The form of energy
Trees without leaves look like lightning This is sparing season you n#gg#s is fighting Frightened once I get to striking
On my union sh#t, where are you hiding
