[Chorus]

(It's not a question, what I'm going to do)

(It's not a question, It's not a question)

It’s not a question at all

I sit and watch you put it all in these bars, they say

(It's not a question)

It’s not a doubt in my mind I see the plot

I'm looking out for what’s mine, they say

(It's not a question)

It’s not a question at all

I sit and watch you put it all in these bars, they say

(It's not a question)

I write my life in the lines

I take what’s rightfully mine, it’s no question

[Verse 1]

I used to view my worth as different

I grew up in a church as Christian

Kids threw rocks at the house we lived in

And dead rats in our backyard, who did this?

Use suspicion, abusive visions, accused of mixing

I'm used to this, but it’s useless to use wisdom

When you’ve been pigeoned

Hold and told that you’ll never amount to nothing

No potential so they sent you, sent you down

An eventual spiral

I read the Bible

I quoted scriptures

I used to meet on Saturdays with the Jehovah's witness

We had a debate over the race in those brochure pictures

I read him my Ayat

He sighed back and said it was sickness

No forgiveness

And no credentials to make the claim

He’s just regurgitating

What he had been taught first

I’ll take the blame

I’ll take the crown

Rip out the jewels and feed the people

The one rapper to lyrically move the needle

No question

[Chorus]

(It's not a question)

It’s not a question at all

I sit and watch you put it all in these bars, they say

(It's not a question)

It’s not a doubt in my mind I see the plot

I'm looking out for what’s mine, they say

(It's not a question)

It’s not a question at all

I sit and watch you put it all in these bars, they say

(It's not a question)

I write my life in the lines

I take what’s rightfully mine, it’s no question

[Verse 2]

Every day’s a fucking gimmick

And every plays a new facade

Every master of ceremonies

A master of mirage

That is masquerading the maddest bating

The masses waiting

Emasculating any facet or portrait of blackness

That’s portraying

Agitating to tinseltown

With a stencil down

They trace with a haste

That is based on the potential found

And urban dollars and demographics do simple tactics

They taxin’ the poorest of people

The illest equipped to match it

Attach the comics we marvel at they barrage

Instead of the real life superheroes

El-Hajj Malik Shabazz, I beat the odds

Took a page from his auto bi'

Thought I'd ought to try

To try find some understanding

I stand on my own

Are y’all surprised?

Y’all divided we all abias

Who’s throwing stones

Your glass house was constructed upon the mobile home (damn)

So fragile and brittle

That’s why they had to belittle

The true future is destined without a question

[Chorus]

(It's not a question)

It’s not a question at all

I sit and watch you put it all in these bars, they say

(It's not a question)

It’s not a doubt in my mind I see the plot

I'm looking out for what’s mine, they say

(It's not a question)

It’s not a question at all

I sit and watch you put it all in these bars, they say

(It's not a question)

I write my life in the lines

I take what’s rightfully mine, it’s no question
