Rest in peace to my dog and my fallen soldiers
Fightin' demons everyday my heart getting colder
Got the weight of the world restin' on my shoulders
Not gettin' any younger only gettin' older
Now I'm at top tryna hold my head up high
Wonder where my peoples at, know they somewhere in the sky
All these L's I took made me numb, I can't even cry
With my skin and my gender, gotta wipe my own eyes
When the club dies down, and the party's over
Everyone's gone, now you all alone and sober
Gotta be your own rock, strong like a boulder
Stand up, face the world, gotta keep composure
And they'll say they understand,
But you know they really don't
If you hanging by a strand
They gon' leave you all alone
Struggles of a black man
Makes you grow a back bone
At the same time nowhere really feels like home
Can't rely on one another
And I think that's really sad
We supposed to be brothers
Coming from different dads
Niggas kill each other everyday
It's become a fad
It's a shame it's annoying
Like a YouTube ad
But I'm here to make a stand
Cause I know that we better
We the sons of kings
We are strong, we are clever
And it's time to show the world
That we really are a treasure
Motto for 2020 is
Apply more pressure
Rest in peace to my dog and my fallen soldiers
Fightin' demons everyday my heart gettin' colder
Got the weight of the world restin' on my shoulders
Not gettin' any younger only gettin' older
Now I'm at top tryna hold my head up high
Wonder where my peoples at, know they somewhere in the sky
All these L's I took made me numb, I can't even cry
With my skin and my gender, gotta wipe my own eyes
Hope you resting well Lauryn, you was gone too soon
Same thing with my boy Nick, hit me like a typhoon
Life changed so changed so suddenly after high school
Wish I could turn back time to a lotta afternoons
At Dallas's crib with the squad we was lit
Broke bread countless times, bought some food that we'd split
Now my town's like a shell, yeah I gotta admit
When I think of what it used to be it's hurts a little bit
I owe it to parents cause they really raised me right
I never back down no I'm not afraid to fight
The music is my wings and I wanna take flight
My city's goes left, but I wanna live right
I busted my ass workin' hella long nights
Tired from the grind, hope my future is bright
Cold world, protect yourself from the frostbite
At the end of the day, we gon' be alright
Rest in peace to my dog and my fallen soldiers
Fightin' demons everyday my heart gettin' colder
Got the weight of the world restin' on my shoulders
Not gettin' any younger only gettin' older
Now I'm at top tryna hold my head up high
Wonder where my peoples at, know they somewhere in the sky
All these L's I took made me numb I can't even cry
With my skin and my gender, gotta wipe my own eyes
