[Intro]

(Yo Gelo, paint this shit real quick)

Uh, uh

[Verse 1]

People in my circle got me worried and I'm nervous

And I'm diggin' past the layers, I'm not tryna see the surface

Askin' God what he's thinkin', askin' God about my purpose

I know to keep a look, and I know to keep on searchin'

Divergin', emergin', submergin' and I'm purgin'

My soul to perfect all my goals that I'm workin'

No matter what I'm thinking, no matter where I'm going

I'm always stuck knowin' I'll be slowin' and hopin'

That I could make rounds for my dreams what you think

I'll always go down for my team, never sleep

When I touch the mic just know that I'ma eat

It's concrete, the concept of learning to compete

I see so many different things in my head

Y'all dead, as time threads and trends start to spread

I'm timeless and mindless so shit's effortless

I'm righteous your highness my height's measureless

[Chorus]

Brother just got done with six (Six)

Thinkin' bout them times after 1999

Man, I barely even wanna be alive (Alive)

Man I'm wonderin' how to make it, man I'm just tryin' to survive

Thinkin' of the ways that I'ma die (Die)

I don't think that I'ma make it, no matter what I try

And I think it's time to say my last goodbyes

Shit is black and white, man it's time to cut the ties (Uh)

[Verse 2]

Black tea my remedy flows to my heartbeat

Melanated pedigree struggle stays on repeat

Same ones our enemy takin' out on the street

Hope he fast on his feet, if not he gon' sleep in peace (Uh)

The cycle continues the more that the blood leaks

As I watch from the sidelines, war on my blood ties

Loss is always the score, lives lost, the tears pour

I'll be damned if I see another kin on channel four

Or another stat in black keepin' the peace divided

Lil' niggas pain sleep on react but they can't hide it

Mothafucka's still wanna degrade and shade the way

Well, the Sun gon' shine when the truth comes into play

From livin' life in the shadows and stereotypical norms

That form a greater sense of the bullshit placed on blacks

Gump and Dre ill with the pen, filled with pain and glory

Sip on this black tea and heal the pain in the story
