[Verse 1]

Woah, we all the forgotten ones

People often mistake us for the rotten ones

A helping hand, they never wanna offer one

When they knocked us down, aw man we should’ve gotten up

All the schools and churches man they shot it up

Now the flags have staff for only bout a month

I swear it’s heart breaking to see a crying mum

New shooter come around, I guess they think the time is up

New stones everywhеre they keep on popping up

When bullеts take flight, the bodies start dropping down

Then auntie and uncle come into town

Kid start wondering why mom and dad ain’t ever coming around

They give em the luxury cuz their mind isn’t right

But when it comes our skin I guess mine isn’t light enough

The AR’s, they just wife em up

And I guess it’s their wedding day when they light me up

Lighting up malls, schools, and even churches too

Is the world you want your children birthed into?

This going backward, man this ain’t what we been working to

Everybody quiet, I’m trying bring to surface, cool


[Verse 2]

Money change the people around you more than yourself

That’s why you gotta learn to hide every bit of your wealth

People think you got it just because your name popping

But when bodies start dropping ain’t nobody there to help

This world a warzone boy you better wear a vest

Spill soul on the mic, when I spit with every breath

So many problems in the world they needa be addressed

We’ve come a long way but I am no longer impressed

So I can’t do this anymore

Anymore, woah


[Verse 3]

Baby girl you been on my mind

I guess it's right person, wrong time

She was alwasys willing to provide, so

Who the hell was I to deny

The love that my baby always had for me

I would blow her off so casually

But we be making love, like it's Master P

Chillin' with no makeup babygirl you a masterpiece

And God made a different type of art with you

We going back-and-fourth don't wanna start with you

Got the key to my heart can you park it boo

I don't got a lighter but I'm flying in these sparks with you

Goodnight
