Verse 1

Somebody tell me what the fuck I'm gone do/ 1

I'm a young black man on his own at 22/ 2

Stripped of his roots before he took his 1st breath/ 3

& when he took his 2nd one the world claimed he's worthless/ 4

That misconception had me in a complex/ 5

But this ain't about race don't take this out of context/ 6

Uh-uh

But if I'm a tell the story I'm a have to tell it all/ 7

& these were the first things that tried to shape my downfall/ 8

So many reprimands through my mothers phone calls/ 9

While these jobs reject my applications, it's on y'all/ 10

I guess it's not enough to try to be the best me/ 11

When my girl told me last night she wish she never met me/ 12

How can I blame her when I treat her far from perfect/ 13

Ashamed when I stare into a reflective surface/ 14

Father God your child's under attack/ 15

So please send me your strength before I fall & collapse/ 16

What the f*** I'm gone do/

Somebody tell me man what I'm gone do/

Dear God tell me what I'm gone do/

Let go, & cast all my worries up 2 you/

What the f*** I'm gone do/

Somebody tell me man what I'm gone do/

Dear God tell me what I'm gone do/

Let go, & cast all my worries up 2 you/

Verse 2

All I hear is people saying what I have to do/

Go to school, kiss ass, work, & seek capital/ 2

All the things you can't take when you pass/ 3

I know my folks mean no harm but they'll lead me to crash/ 4

Y'all think I want to be broke , & live to never have nothing / 5

Not at all , but if it's Gods will, it ain't up for discussion/ 6

My bloods rushing cause I hear my family fussin/ 7

Threatening to kick me out, if I choose to do nothing/ 8

Your music's cool, but if it don't feed your pockets/ 9

It should be your plan B, plan A should be a profit/ 10

They're not wrong they have a different perspective / 11

So please respect mine when I say I can't concept it/ 12

I know it sounds crazy like I'm purposely lost/ 13

But the cost can be high if your guidance is off/ 14

Father God your child's under attack/ 15

So please send me your strength before I fall & collapse/ 16

What the f*** I'm gone do/

Somebody tell me man what I'm gone do/

Dear God tell me what I'm gone do/

Let go, & cast all my worries up 2 you/

What the f*** I'm gone do/

Somebody tell me man what I'm gone do/

Dear God tell me what I'm gone do/

Let go, & cast all my worries up 2 you/
