On This Way |
And I think I been countin' my hardest days |
Lord, won’t you save me? |
Oh |
You know what I’ve been prayin' for |
And I never thought I’d see this day, yeah |
I gotta make a change |
And I think I been countin' my hardest days |
Uh, writin' plans to make a new report (Yeah) |
Grind hard and turn my basement to a jewelry store |
If you don’t do it for your kids, then who you do it for? |
I’m tryna read and learn some shit I never knew before |
Focused on investments (Yeah) |
Build me up some new resorts |
We can manifest it (Word) |
You’d rather hit the Louis store |
Wastin' all your blessings |
Care about the ones who doubt you |
Just to impress some hoes who never gave a fuck about you |
Just what I discovered |
Never believed in family, that word is really a cover |
Just a title that have the advantage to keep you under (Oh, yeah) |
I got nigga I consider brothers more than my brothers |
So watch it, you show your colors |
We livin' in a world where prison walls is depravation (Yeah) |
Livin' in a world where snitchin' calls for celebration (Yeah) |
Livin' in a world where niggas crawl and segregation |
Rainy nights and desperation |
Pray we fight the legislation |
Protest until we flatline, paralyzed (Uh) |
They throwin' stones at my Black Lives Matter signs (Oh) |
Made a change but we still not satisfied |
I can’t smile half the time I’m still (I'm still) |
I’m still waitin', sittin' plottin' on the couch (Word) |
'Cause I know that I ain’t safe when all these cops on the prowl (Yeah) |
Tryna think of other ways, but we ain’t got no other route |
I’m startin' to understand that shit that Pac was talkin' 'bout (Word) |
And I think I been countin' my hardest days |
Lord, won’t you save me? |
Oh |
You know what I’ve been prayin' for (Uh, uh, uh) |
And I never thought I’d see this day (Uh, uh, uh), yeah |
I gotta make a change |
And I think I been countin' my hardest days |
Lord, won’t you save me? |
Oh |
You know what I’ve been prayin' for |
And I never thought I’d see this day, yeah |
I gotta make a change |
And I think I been countin' my- |
Look, time is money and the clock tickin' |
I teach my son love and respect, that’s a God given (Word) |
My sperm donor never been shit, just a flop |
Listen, if it wasn’t for my step-pops, I’d prolly turn out different (Facts) |
Probably be in a cell doin' a life sentence (Facts) |
Probably have twenty baby mamas and nine bitches (Facts) |
Probably grow up misguided, twisted inside the system |
Dropped out and failed 'cause nobody listen to my admission (Yeah) |
Sick of gettin' in fights with niggas less educated |
Sick of gettin' advice from niggas who never made it (Ooh) |
Sick of bein' polite to people with lesser patience |
Oftentimes, I wonder where I would be if I never made it |
The hatin' always comes from niggas that wish they had all your blessings or |
the clout (True) |
And bad vibes forever, but I’m destined on this route (Yeah) |
I’m startin' to understand that shit that X was talkin' 'bout (Word) |
And I think I been countin' my- |
Worst thing comes to worst, I’ll fuckin' die a tragic death or some shit |
And I’m not able to see out my dreams |
I at least wanna know that the kids perceive my message and were able to make |
something of themselves |
And able to take my message and use it and turn it into somethin' positive |
And to, to at least have a good life |
If it ain’t black on, I’m prolly gon' use it to chop crack on |
Hard white for all them hard nights I had my back on |
Roach-infested carpet, tip-toe in my mother’s room |
See a dresser and felt no pressure when takin' a twenty off it |
Compton like a closed coffin |
We walkin' to school coughin' |
Often high off the gun smoke |
Boston had at the front door |
Cookin' class, I’m J-Hov |
Rock it up on they stove |
Me and my teacher goin' back and forth |
Like No Name and J. Cole |
You said I would never be what? |
I wouldn’t amount to what? |
Now you in this Trader Joe’s same lines, sayin', «Wassup?"(Oh) |
Talkin' 'bout like how you like my songs, not knowin' it was me |
Security had me in a headlock and I told you I couldn’t breathe |
Now it’s Black Lives Matter and white letters on your shirt |
Now how many black lives did you help, or did you hurt? |
Did you handicap, block, push to excel or did you hinder? |
Since hindsight’s twenty/twenty, I guess you don’t remember |
Now you with your mixed child, havin' all these mixed feelings |
But do your black husband know you tried to burn down our village? |
But never mind, from the line, that’s for y’all to figure out |
Just know that boy who wasn’t shit bailed all his niggas out |
And it’s my black queen, I kiss her on her black lips |
And she rock Off-White 'cause she support black shit |
And I’m blacker than the on a Spike Lee flick |
Black like the pick stuck in the afro of Kaepernick |
