| That’s the motivation I need to keep makin' plays
|
| All that energy got put in to keep us from education
|
| Now I identify with them brothers locked in them cages
|
| Yo, don’t go back, that’s a different way to enslave us
|
| Pickin' up the path that my ancestors paved us
|
| Nothin' to lose is the mindset we seem to move with
|
| The world improve when they fill us with more confusion
|
| We kill each other more than the KKK movement
|
| Knowledge is power when you in that courtroom clueless
|
| Crazy how I learned from all my brother mistakes
|
| Carried all the traits 'cause the neighborhoods wasn’t safe
|
| I’ll just move a little different and I’ll be straight
|
| But I could never prepare for the problems that I face
|
| Eat better, drink water, think better
|
| Feed the mind information, it’s a spiritual invasion
|
| No more moments with my confidence deflated
|
| Is what I tell myself and I’m not renegotiating
|
| I apologize if I hurt you along the way (For real)

|
| Too much for moms to bear and he too young for us to bury
|
| Them caskets had to carry was mainey 'cause it was real life
|
| He was just here now he layin' in that field, like
|
| You seen 'em target blacks for the crack epidemic, real life
|
| Them prisons only built for us niggas, this shit is still trife
|
| It’s real life, learn to love yourself, nigga, that’s real love
|
| The hatred never penetrate either, ain’t no steel love
|
| Old girl he fed his gang, already run through the and ones
|
| Fuck who talkin' down, it ain’t slowin' down, we still love
|
| Drownin' in my thoughts, if I lost it, I’d probably kill somethin'
