[Verse 1: Ibukun]

If you don't respect me

No, I won't forget it

I might shoot at your family

No, you can't protect it

At my Roots I'm LeVar

Branded, I can't go far

I rebuke all those curses

On my way to find purpose

How many brothers outside?

How many niggas lost faith?

I say:

How many more mothers must cry?

Tears now cause they can't embrace

They child running wild 'cause they had to get a day job

Spray blocks for the ice cream paint job

B and E but I'm broke so they can't rob

Beast mode get Lynch-ed, triple K mob

All these problems blossomed

Yeah we were forgotten

These the fruits reaped from cotton?

No there ain't much options

So I'm like where the pot is?

'Cause I’ll flood the block up

With that white like a slalom

And restart the cycle, now

[Verse 2: Ibukun]

How many niggas must die?

'Til fake leaders lose face

I pray

Locked up niggas make it outside

But only rich people beat the case

It's war, dont ask what Im fucking fighting for

'Cause niggas really dead, no metaphors

One day hanging, then hanging off a sycamore

Then you wonder why we grip the metal for

They get excuses

We get retribution

All our minds were polluted

Lives were prostituted

For some shit constitution

Joy it stays elusive

So these drugs I recruited

Hope they're numb-conducing

[Verse 3: Ibukun]

How many niggas alive?

Ready to save the grace

I raise

Funds 'cause we are deprived

Of wealth, our wealth is pain

I flip, I flip, I flip the stories

Done with hood allegories

Act like we can't be important?

Just wait we’ll start our own shit

[Outro: Hoff]

We be poppin' shit, this ain't no movie theater

You can keep those opinions 'cause we don't ever need 'em

Keep those lips sealed, dont want no conversations

Dropping bombs on their head, this shit the detonation
