You cant put a limit on my time
When your blood the same color as mine
We in the streets with a hoodie on
How come the only time we get along is when they gun us down it's time for a change
And I don broke a whole lot of dollars
Brought us here changed our names and sold us dreams to be a scholar
But you left inside the hood
Where the poverty look good cuz
That's where all yo niggas at
F*ck it label me a threat
Cuz right now I got a lot of shit to get up off my chest
Hands up dont shoot
Man down bullet wounds replace the noose so now we 50 cent with that bullet proof
Trying to get rich or die trying
In the mist of keeping faith as I walk the road to Zion
Plus I'm feeling boxed in like I'm riding in a scion and it ain't fair
I'm getting blank stairs
And it's crazy cuz I know we breath the same air look
I prayed today
That things would change
I paved my way
I made my name
They wanna block my grind
They trying to block my shine
I prayed today
That things would change
I paved my way
I made my name
They wanna block my grind
They still to block my shine
You cant put a limit on my time
When your blood the same color as mine
We in the streets with a hoodie on
How come the only time we get along is when they gun us down it's time for a change
Cuz we know thing will never be the same
And they thinking that we over it
Just because they over it
And they ain't really over it
Dates back to some older shit
Masses on the TV screen gone make you miss the mother ship cuz
They wanna hang you from a tree my nigga
Ride horses draped in all white sheets my nigga
Leave you dead in the street my nigga
Black lives really do matter to me my nigga
Now I'm riding with the heat my nigga
You gon catch it if you try f*cking with me my nigga
Cuz that badge cant save you and neither can your back up
The sky might turn purple if you mother f*ckers act up
