We living through a genocide

Every little thing I ever do is fucking penalized

The news is "Russia vs Ukraine" they call it war crimes

They killin us at home, and beatin' the cases off of your dimes

Then taking more lives

You got your passport they still treat you like the fourth kind

I got more money than the judge but in the court's eyes

I'm still guilty

If I try to prove 'em otherwise they ain't gone feel me

Can you blame me for the hatred that has filled me?

They wanted it to kill me but the circumstances built me

I'm never fake but it takes balls to show the real me

& here I am in full effect, the world gone still see

They copy yet degrade us

Always underpay us

Fuck all your suggestions, nigga motherfuck a pay cut

I ain't been up in my whole life I'm trying to stay up

It's taking generations just to get my cake up

They tell me everything is solved if I just saved up

Aw if I comply, tell me that's gone save my life?

I swear y'all don't hear y'all selves how y'all scripted all the lines

It's really two Americas & one of them is blind

RIP Breanna

RIP to Sandra

RIP to Eric

RIP Philando

Laquan Michael Trayvon why the list so fuckin' long

And you expect us to keep calm?

You think the world would riot if it don't see nothing wrong?

RIP to George Floyd RIP Stephon

RIP the 7,000 names that I left off

Feeling like even if I'm beating all the odds

I shouldn't even be here, am I dreaming, am not ?

How you storm the fucking capital and went home to your job?

This the type of shit we've been dealing with all along

I'm just thinking bout myself and where I'm finna go

Trying not to get discouraged while I'm hitting goals

I always gave my all and got a small amount

I need returns, it ain't just the fucking thought that counts

I swear my ex she thought she planned it out

But I can't afford the mortgage on your mama house

On these 1980's wages, I need commas now

It's too much shit I gotta figure out
