| I was raised in the state with displays of the hate
|
| And not a lot changed—just shades of the grey
|
| Kansas the name, and we ain’t in your race
|
| But with all that said I wouldn’t trade you a place
|
| Shame that we place little value on the real
|
| Self esteem lowered with the talent and the skill
|
| I keep it to myself, enjoy the silence on the hill
|
| There’s not a skyline but there’s time for me to build
|
| Plus I’m riding till the wheels fall along with the hubcap
|
| Road less traveled, tire marks on the rough patch
|
| Any other problem that I got can bite dust back
|
| Got myself a compass, baby show me where the love at
|
| And you can trust that I’m winning in the end
|
| Just got to stay inventive when I’m getting with this pen
|
| Not talking about a prison but my vision with the lens
|
| For everyone that get it, all my people at the crib like…
|
| From the top all the way to Wichita
|
| Look; |
| I did it for y’all
|
| KC to my folks in Arkansas
|
| Look; |
| I did it for y’all
|
| From the projects to the trailer parks
|
| Look; |
| I did it for y’all
|
| 'Cause where we shop, there’s only one mall
|
| Ha, I did it for y’all
|
| So I’m from a dead city in a flyover state
|
| Got the land lock blues, really trying to escape
|
| There’s nothing to do when you’re finding your way
|
| But I promised myself I wouldn’t die in this place
|
| I ain’t trying to hate, but take a look around at
|
| All the vacant places that’s located over town
|
| It’s only corporations that’s been aiming for the crown
|
| Population stagnated, same faces in the crowd
|
| Black man
|
| Living in a red state
|
| Where you marginalized and treated like dead weight
|
| And we disenfranchised in letting the led spray
|
| And during childhood wasn’t given a segue way
|
| On and on it goes without stopping
|
| It’s central Topeka y’all know it’s been popping
|
| And we all about the doe, we hope to go flossing
|
| Back against the wall, we hope for more options
|
| From the top all the way to Wichita
|
| Look; |
| I did it for y’all
|
| KC to my folks in Arkansas
|
| Look; |
| I did it for y’all
|
| From the projects to the trailer parks
|
| Look; |
| I did it for y’all
|
| 'Cause where we shop, there’s only one mall
|
| Ha, I did it for y’all |
