[Hook]

Lookin’ at me like

I got blood all over my hands

Father, tell me why?

There’s a red dot on my chest

They don’t wanna see me here

Tell me why, why do they fear?

I don’t wanna be no martyr

No saint, another dead black


[Verse 1]

Man but go on

Say what you mean

Mean what you say

We all gotta go anyway

Come better than that

Trigger warning

You don’t know me

I come as I am

Take me for who I am

Don’t mistake me for what I am

Make me make you see where I stand

Watching me dance


[Hook]

Lookin’ at me like

I got blood all over my hands

Father, tell me why?

Why they wanna see me dead?

They don’t wanna see me here

Tell me why, why do they fear?

I don’t wanna be no martyr

No saint, another dead black


[Verse 2]

Man, get well

Hate got ya lookin’ a lil frail

Spending all ya love

On people who don’t care

Know that ain’t fair

See what I did there

Never was great

Until we got here

The family is all here

The future is right here

Been working this all year

Mind pulling the rear near

I’m certain that we’re clear

Not that it don’t bother


[Hook]

Lookin’ at me like

I got blood all over my hands

Father, tell me why?

Why they won’t give me a chance?

They don’t wanna see me here

Tell me why, why do they fear?

I don’t wanna be no martyr

No saint, another dead black


[Outro]

They don’t know

I don’t wanna be no martyr

No saint, another dead black

Who I am
