This Bitter Land |
| This bitter land |
| Watered with my soul |
| The fruit it bears |
| Leaves me so cold |
| This bitter land |
| Does nothing for love |
| This bitter land |
| Brings pain from above, oh-oh |
| Yeah, running on the concrete across the train tracks |
| The devil is behind me |
| In the ghetto where’s you’ll find me, it’s where I stays at |
| Cop shot us up, he get a medal then retire |
| But it never will define me |
| Write a letter to the president, whoever in control of the society |
| Tell 'em stop riding me, stop driving us into a suicidal ideology |
| Tryna feed my seeds |
| Getting high on weed, study my degrees |
| Stay fly, getting paper |
| With some dead white people faces in the circle of spaces around the green |
| I’ma lean, taking Percs It’s a bitter Earth |
| Is a nigga cursed? |
| Am I blessed? |
| See what I mean |
| It’s a test, life is a test |
| Life is like a hood, hard |
| Trying not to fall between the cracks |
| In the cracks it’s so dark, and the dark |
| Seems more appealing than the light in the land |
| Where you gotta fight |
| Catch a body in the night, we need a plan |
| To survive, to survive the land |
| Survive the storm, when it comes through |
| Either you’re busy living or busy dying, look what it’s come to |
| Look what it’s come to, so what you’re gonna do? |
| This bitter land is far too real |
| This bitter land, it does not heal |
| Cause in the land skies are grey |
| But we fight the storms that come our way |
| A boy who strives to be a man |
| Must push to lead with all he can |
| Oh, this bitter land |
| Oh, bitter land |
| Oh, oh, oh, oooh |
| This bitter land, can’t stop my fight |
| This bitter land |
| Look what it’s come to |
| So what you gonna do? |
| What you gonna do? |
| (My land) |
