| Another day, another misfortune
|
| I cannot afford to lose my place
|
| Cause when I step outside I can feel it
|
| We could be close to the end and I can’t help it
|
| You a bitch if you hating on this shit
|
| I grew up off of Southernplayalisticadillacmusik
|
| The everyday bullshit can make a nigga reclusive
|
| I give you all the exclusives, I’m twisting dope like a Rubik’s
|
| (yeah) cube, nigga take a walk in my shoes
|
| Come deal with my paranoia, I’m so scared I might lose
|
| Sip a couple light brews that might lighten my mood
|
| At least for my baby’s sake I pray I make the right moves
|
| I feel like God with a murderous ink pen
|
| About to put a couple hollow points in your ink skin
|
| Rappers you fugazi, we can see that you pretend
|
| Butter soft, leather in the seats that I’m sinking
|
| Welcome to the mind of Mr. Benton
|
| The fuck is these niggas sniffing?
|
| The verbal serial killer just itching to stick this clip in
|
| Niggas nothing different, same shit, different porcelain
|
| Thank God we walked up out that abortion clinic
|
| Old school Chevy, the windows tinted
|
| Another homicide, 12 need more forensics
|
| The fact is, pigs murdering black kids
|
| And black kids murdering black kids
|
| Ay where the value in that?
|
| It’s like we don’t see no value in black
|
| A fatherless habitat, moving vials of that crack
|
| Another day, another misfortune
|
| I cannot afford to lose my place
|
| Cause when I step outside I can feel it
|
| We could be close to the end and I can’t help it
|
| Yeah, ATLiens
|
| I told the pastor to pray for them
|
| Lost souls, communities broken, can’t find a way for them
|
| Niggas still waiting on God to sky dive
|
| Like that’s our only hope to stop these drive-bys
|
| Ain’t no action heroes, a bunch of misguided negros
|
| We scared of our own so we sleep with guns under pillows
|
| And ADT alarms, they don’t mean no harm
|
| And I’m guilty of it too, I profile niggas like um
|
| What this nigga up to? |
| Damn he lookin' shady
|
| Is he casing my crib while I’m clutchin' on the 3.80?
|
| Meanwhile he’s just tryna find the local gymnasium
|
| We assume the worse and we plant these seeds in our cranium
|
| Damn that’s that same mindframe that killed Trayvon
|
| But we don’t think shit bout the bitch when she selling Avon
|
| Wake up, something going on my niggas
|
| We murder over dumb shit, still miss the big picture
|
| Psychological damage planted in our genes
|
| How’d we go to this when we used to be kings and queens
|
| Meanwhile the African population decreasing over bullshit diseases
|
| Hunger and shit that’s mean’less
|
| That’s weird, the most hated and feared
|
| Open your third eye, there’s something going on here
|
| Slavery mind state still controlling most of y’all head
|
| Ask Malcolm, when you wake from the matrix they want you dead |
