Stuck in my past
And I can't let it go
Said I don't wanna hide
Can't run no more
Why do I try
Knowing that I'm gone fail
And if I don't die
They gone put me in jail
So we supposed to live on how you feeling
Know people still in jail for the same thing that you dealing
Hate the skin color but you love the way we rock
Riding coattails just to make it to the top
And if I wanted your job I'd be overqualified
Bought my first car but you know that they denied
People hating on me I don't even know why
And kids popping pills like they not gone die
Kids thinking they only choice is to deal or do
Just to stack a couple bands and buy a chain or two
Been censoring just to hit a million
But what good as that gone do if I'm not reeling in
Not good at dropping lines so I'm working overtime
I'd hate to have to do it but I know if I resign
I already left a path that I know they gonna find
I'd never want they life wonder why they want mine
Stuck in my past
And I can't let it go
Said I don't wanna hide
Can't run no more
Why do I try
Knowing that I'm gone fail
And if I don't die
They gone put me in jail
White voice, phone calls and handshakes
Just because some people intimidated by blackface
Not paint the melanin I'm born with it
My identity stolen so now I'm Bourne with it
You expect me to believe that all your ways sticking
Out of my mind you mad that I ain't cotton-picking
Free slaves never thought you'd see the day
You look mad, please say what you gotta say
Kids bullied, teachers unruly
No representation of who they are fully
All they see is drugs, ballers, rappers on the screen
They don't know the struggles that they go through in between
Parents learn something from this message that I bring
Kids going through some things we ain't never seen
Kids doing anything just to get the green
And you don't even care they turned into a dope fiend
Sick of skipping topics everybody get a stance with
Just in case my music ever made it to the top hits
Take it how I give it
Or leave it how it was found
Spent way too many days focused only on the sound
Now I bring a message with a wisdom profound
Bring a generation up even when they tear me down
History repeats but only if we let it
Surrounded by so many that still don't get it
Aye, aye somebody stomp him
Som- grab my gun
Som- we got a-
Mary Lou get the dogs
We got a-
Somebody stop him
We got a run away slave
Stuck in my past
And I can't let it go
Said I don't wanna hide
Can't run no more
Why do I try
Knowing that I'm gone fail
And if I don't die
They gone put me in jail
Stuck in my past
Don't wanna hide
Why do I try
And if I don't die
