| Born into a world
|
| Where we’re dying to be free
|
| But we’re living underneath their supremacy
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| See I was raised in the west
|
| Where we stay stressed
|
| Where they lie if they have to to make an arrest
|
| 'Cause we living in the shadow of the suburbs
|
| While the price of this house going upwards
|
| I don’t understand how
|
| The poor get robbed by the rich and they calling it a handout (Aw, hell nah)
|
| And it’s evident
|
| The neighborhood fucked up
|
| Got us sending letters to the president
|
| Tell me, can you hear us
|
| Through the sound of the sirens?
|
| And you wonder why the streets getting violent
|
| Another mother shed tears at the cemetery
|
| Burying her first born child (Damn)
|
| I’ve been watching through the years
|
| Got my nerves firing, waking up screaming
|
| And we live in a cold sweat
|
| Segregated, they consider us a known threat
|
| So we hopeless, ayy
|
| Born into a world
|
| Where we’re dying to be free
|
| (I just wanna be free, let’s go)
|
| But we’re living underneath their supremacy
|
| (Looking out from, we ain’t out from
|
| Their supremacy)
|
| One day you’ll see us but until then we’ll all sit and wait for the rapture
|
| (Ain't no more waiting)
|
| They trying to relegate my DNA (Nah)
|
| Break it down into something easier to hate (Uh)
|
| They afraid of the outcome
|
| 'Cause the race that they call human keep evolving and they know they will get
|
| outrun
|
| (That's why, huh?)
|
| Still behind on the times, yeah
|
| Protest culture on strike like lightning (Damn)
|
| Losing hold and control, so we rising
|
| Put the muzzle on, but we won’t stay silent
|
| Born into a world
|
| Where we’re dying to be free
|
| (I just wanna be free, let’s go)
|
| But we’re living underneath (What we under?)
|
| Their supremacy
|
| (Underneath, under their supremacy)
|
| One day you’ll see us but until then we’ll all sit and wait for the rapture
|
| (What you waiting for?)
|
| (Go and get it)
|
| When time turns into history
|
| The story that we’ll tell will be
|
| When we were marching for our lives
|
| You stood on the other side
|
| When time turns into history
|
| The story that we’ll tell will be
|
| When we were marching for our lives
|
| You stood on the other side
|
| When time turns into history
|
| The story that we’ll tell will be
|
| When we were marching for our lives
|
| You stood on the other side |
