[Verse 1]

Yeah, listen, ai

Let me tell you what I hate

Everything I ain't

Everything I done

Everything I break

I hate the way that you were saying I’d be great

Straight, let me tell you what I love

That there's no one above

The thought: "It is what it is"

Shit, same thought, it was what it was

Yeah, I'm like the dove that had flew

Too close to the Sun and he knew

Deep down there was nothing he could do

It’s fucked because thе Sun was you, ah

But still, I tell you what I hate, though

The samе fellas getting bodied by the plain clothes

The same niggas that would follow under rainbows

Very same boy that would follow on the way home

Yeah, either your jacket or your raincoat

Tryna take suttin' that ain't dope, it's painful

At times, wish I had a guardian angel

To help me with the brothers, that's shameful

But still, I love the rainfall (Yeah, the rainfall, rainfall)

I love the fact that they're so fucking grateful (Yes)

I love the fact that my plate's full

I love the money in my bank, it's disgraceful

So many zeroes

I brush shoulders with so many heroes

I lost count, still hold those dineros

Tryna say suttin’, my ears closed, I fear those

Lost in the past living on the recline

The same look up in their eyes if they’re borrowing time

It's nine lives, on the eight, see the finishing line

It’s right there on the horiz— couldn't finish the rhyme

I hate time

(Hate fucking time)

I said I fucking hate time (Time, time, time, time)

[Chorus]

Yeah, they said it was all that you could be if you were Black

Playing ball or maybe rap, and they would say it like a fact

All my people in the back

All the nurses in the front, all my teachers, where you at?

'Cause we've been living like a trap

Putting numbers on the wall, hoping people will react

But it’s a fact, we've been living in a trap

We're trapped

[Verse 2]

I hate, I love, hate the ones who think that they're above

My grandfather told me, "Never trust in 'em"

But I do, yo, the ones I shouldn't, true, I stuck with 'em

This is it, still, I seen men hit women

Who hit back, all them couldn't give a shit

Hidden but won't crack under pressure of this shit feeling

Uh, ayo, this shit feeling, listen yo, I fear women

I fear love, religion, I fear drugs, the feeling

I fear us, fear us

Nearing the end, but I can't comprehend my fears

Wisdom, I fear him

Yeah, I fear the colour of my skin

I fear the colour of my kin

I still feel the colour that's within

[Chorus]

Yo, they said it was all that you could be if you were Black

Playing ball or maybe rap, and they would say it like a fact

So all my people in the back

All the nurses in the front, all my teachers, where you at?

Yeah, 'cause we've been living like a trap

Putting numbers on the wall, hoping people would react

But it's a fact, we've been living in a trap

We're trapped

Yo, they said it was all that you could be if you were Black

Playing ball or maybe rap, and they would say it like a fact

So all my people in the back

All the nurses in the front, all my teachers, where you at?

Yeah, 'cause we've been living like a trap

Putting numbers on the wall, hoping people would react

But it's a fact, we've been living in a trap

We're trapped

[Outro]

(We're trapped, we're trapped)

The man that flew all the way from the sun
