[Intro]

Light, the sun

Fight, run

Pipe the gun

All night, all night, shootin' all fuckin' night

Light, the sun

Fight, run

Pipe the gun

All night, motherfucker, all night, motherfucker, all night

[Verse 1]

Black boy, Black boy

Don't fall prey, 'cause they job to snatch joy

Yeah, you a kid, and they'll play, but that's a ploy

In ten years, you a criminal at his gat point

Bang, bullet out the gun split your brain

The closest way you can be with your momma is in a frame

At the church with your family and friends grievin' your name

A human turned statistic, all the stories are the same

Dang, city stands up and march in the streets

While white folks do they protest by talkin' in Tweets

President make a comment 'bout, "A targеt on peace"

While not a singlе cuff is put on the arms of police

Well damn, no protection for us, and no correction for them

It's just a heaven for us, and a suspension for them

It ain't no savin' for us, ain't no mercy from them

Well let's stop playin' 'bout us, and switch the murder on them

A Black teen, he's rebellious at heart

Until you make some cash money off sellin' your art

So you conform to the white man that tear you apart

And now you lookin' for your masters, it was his from the start

Goddamn, a Black man feelin' trapped in his mental

Mad dreams that he had, dead along with his kinfolk

Now he bitter in his teaching he give to the littles

They say, "Fuck that old nigga", the cycle continues, damn

[Chorus]

Tryna see the light before I get to the sun

But all I see is fights, and I refuse to run

Refuse to pipe down, but I will up gun

And shoot all night if the motherfuckers come

Tryna see the light before I get to the sun

But all I see is fights, and I refuse to run

Refuse to pipe down, but I will up gun

And shoot all night if the motherfuckers come

[Verse 2]

Black girl, Black girl

Born in a role that you didn't ask for

Compliments as kids feel like a trap door

Listen to the things they make you feel bad for

'Cause your hair got some nap, 'cause your words sound like rap

'Cause them white boys like you, so them white girls feel attacked

"The neighborhood you from isn't really called the trap"

All the insults they give you just because you... (Man, I ain't gon' say that)

Your psyche, your home, and your school life rough

Jealousy of folks around you make you feel like you in cuffs

You hesitate on givin' these adults a little trust

'Cause they say you act grown as soon as you grown up (You act too damn grown)

"You can't eat like that, you gotta eat like this"

"Can't speak like that, gotta speak like this"

"Can't be like that, gotta be like this"

Men can tweak like that, but if you do, you a bitch

Any decision that she make, they tell her that she wrong

Can't be an angry woman, so they tell her, "Keep it calm"

They do everything that they can to piss you off

They see you like a devil, niggas see you like a god

You they therapist and pleaser, always there when they need her

But who's there to believe her when the world is tryna beat her?

They beat her, and they beat her, 'til she end up dead

She a target, but they tell her that's all in her head (Bullshit, cap)

[Chorus]

Tryna see the light before I get to the sun

But all I see is fights, and I refuse to run

Refuse to pipe down, but I will up gun

And shoot all night if the motherfuckers come

Tryna see the light before I get to the sun

But all I see is fights, and I refuse to run

Refuse to pipe down, but I will up gun

And shoot all night if the motherfuckers come

[Outro]

Tryna see the light before I get to the sun

But all I see is fights, and I refuse to run

Refuse to pipe down, but I will up gun

And shoot all night if the motherfuckers come

Tryna see the light before I get to the sun

But all I see is fights, and I refuse to run

Refuse to pipe down, but I will up gun

And shoot all night if the motherfuckers come
