[Sample]

Only a child, and with a sweet child's tender heart

Waiting for someone to call you mine

How do you keep your faith, when you are always falling, yes, I'm falling

How do you find a way to keep from crying

[Verse 1: Awon]

I’m a bird with broken wings

I left the nest destined for the pedestal of kings

Only to be told that I couldn’t fly seen

Without a head start given to my counterparts

I’m always behind

Searching for a place in a world that’s never mine

God made my skin bronze when will I ever shine

That’s law and order for you, an attempt on my life

No liberty for me I’m guilty on sight

What have I ever donе to be born with this mark

That my mother said was beautiful it torе me apart

I even became a number, a document statistic

A ward of the state that made me independent

Emancipated with the proclamation of a felon

‘Cause our word is bond you might suffer if you telling

You have to understand the concept of no snitching

Is like telling masta “them boys runnin for the fences”

[Verse 2: Anti-Lilly]

Watch for a double cross like I’m David Ruffin

My temptations in the past that had left me with next to nothing

Was trapping out of my '91 Regal, made some plays that’s illegal

Fuck the rules a cracker told me “you ain’t tried if you ain’t cheating”

Who do you think made the procedures to keep my people sinking

Hard to have a conscience when your country move on convenience

Every block is like a corner store we pay more than it’s worth

Thought about leaving this earth a couple occasions since my birth

I’d be lying if I spoke of the wise

Dreamed about new skies on the surface I tried to disguise

Couple times I done lost a sense of my worth I had to sell it sometimes

I got tired of tryna dress up all the strain on my mind

I hate complaining bout it

Tapped in with nature, took some shrooms

And take the rain up out me

Some better weather coming soon

My highs and lows is like the difference ‘tween the sun and the moon

I’m running on fumes I hope I got enough to get me through
