[Hook]

It's my Identity

My born identity x2

Someday imma be okay

[Verse I]

I might be living a thousand miles away

But still I hear the cries of my black brothers who died to today

Blood spilled by killer cops shots ringing out from the opps

This thriller it never stops and the apple continues to rot

Another man gets slotted into jail for petty crime

Gets bodied in the sell another sad story to tell

Blood splattered a life shattered cause of the drugs that he sell

While up in the boondocks

Nobody questions what they inhale

They got programs for rehab

But we don't

We can't afford to pay the big tab

It's not that we won't

Without the 40 acres and the mules

Our only inheritance was psychological damage and broken schools

So I refuse ...

To believe in that freedom song you sing to me

I want peace but it's only war you bring to me

I'm lost and my skin's the only thing that cling to me

[Hook]

It's my Identity

My born identity x2

Someday imma be okay

[Verse II] (LarynX)

Yo

They got guns drawn

Regardless if you're innocent or done wrong

We march for the futures of our unborn

They kill

Go back to their fam while some mourn

'Cause these thugs with badges are quick to bust slugs from ratchets

It's madness

Not saying they're all bad

But the fact is

Some use deadly tactics

Uh

Another day another hashtag

They're highly militarised like its Bagdad

The truth's lost

They criticise when we riot and loot stores

But ignore the root cause

Extreme poverty and cops using brute force

The mic's my weapon of choice, choose yours !

I inspire unity - uh

Cops fire with impunity

The war on drugs destroyed entire communities

All we want is the same opportunities

[Hook]

It's my identity x2

Can't take it away

It's my identity x2

One day imma be okay
