They Don't |
| They don’t want me to win, they don’t want me to eat |
| They don’t want to see a young black man succeed |
| They don’t want to see me take my brothers out of the streets |
| They don’t want me |
| They don’t want me to sleep, they don’t want me to dream |
| They don’t want to see my people livin' good and at ease |
| They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys |
| We ain’t never free |
| I’m grateful for life and the prize I reap |
| Every day and every night, I get on my knees |
| And I pray for my guys and they families |
| Hope the Lord hear me |
| I can only imagine the pain and the grief |
| From the innocent mothers with all the shit they had to see |
| When you lose the ones you love to the fuckin' police, it cuts deep |
| When Heaven calls and the angels do they job |
| We start to question God like we could play His part |
| It gets so fuckin' hard, we can’t escape the dark |
| It’s hatred in my heart for the ones who left this scar |
| But everything will be alright soon |
| I just wanna let you know ain’t nothin' like you |
| We live and die, that’s always been the cycle |
| I promise it wasn’t about you |
| When you make it to Heaven, give me your eyes, dude |
| Watch over me closely 'til it’s my time too |
| The only thing I can do is turn to the Bible |
| And do my best to help your family 'cause they’re mine too |
| But they don’t want me to win, they don’t want me to eat |
| They don’t want to see a young black man succeed |
| They don’t want to see me take my brothers out of the streets |
| They don’t want me |
| They don’t want me to sleep, they don’t want me to dream |
| They don’t want to see my people livin' good and at ease |
| They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys |
| We ain’t never free |
| How could you blame as many sisters and brothers die? |
| If they answer to it go and start another fire |
| Guess they gotta do it, has to show objection to it |
| God bless 'em, no direction, out there gettin' to it |
| 2020, guess it’s the year of the burn, consequences you earned |
| To build this nation that you hate me in, the karma’s returned |
| Well, that’s a stupid question, when will you learn? |
| You never will, word to George Floyd, Emmett Till, and Sean Bell |
| Guess they’d rather see us all in civil unrest |
| Than to go and make some fuckin' arrests, fuck is that? |
| Well, after that, here’s to getting exactly what you expect |
| How you 'posed to serve and protect with your knee on my neck? |
| Look, it ain’t hard to see you not for me, the cycle of atrocity |
| Blew your cover when there about to be some reciprocity |
| I’m with the cause, and it’s gon' be whatever it got to be (Uh-uh) |
| Uh-huh, but vandalizin' buildings, that’s just not for me |
| But even still, if I’ma be real with you, no fuckin' joke |
| Best thing I seen, that police station goin' up in smoke |
| Hmm, felt like vindication for so many folks (For real) |
| Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, and so many more |
| They don’t want me to win, they don’t want me to eat |
| They don’t want to see a young black man succeed |
| They don’t want to see me take my brothers out of the streets |
| They don’t want me |
| They don’t want me to sleep, they don’t want me to dream |
| They don’t want to see my people livin' good and at ease |
| They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys |
| We ain’t never free |
| Ayy, hold my hand, mama, I’m here for you |
| They think they took your son, but they put him right next to you |
| You the strongest thing on this earth, you unbreakable |
| Plus you brought him into this earth and you raised him too |
| Take a second off every day and get comfortable |
| Celebrate yourself for a change 'cause you never do |
| With all the pressure from society, you always hiding |
| Go outside and show the world a better you |
| I know you worried sick about if I’ma make it home this evening |
| You know 'cause of my color, life ain’t gon' be easy |
| But I’ma be okay if I tell God I need Him |
| That’s what you taught me without even knowing you teaching |
| See what I’m tryna say is you the furthest from weak |
| And I sing your praises because you a G |
| You made me and made the world a better place for your seeds |
| How the fuck could anybody take 'em away from they queen? |
| Uh |
