Too much at the same time
I don't have enough energy to waste time
Unnecessary worry clouds my brain
Starring into the night sky
I try not to ask why
Other people don't share the same thing
Don't share the same pain
If you're not saying something different, I don't want to listen
A lot of the same lies, same cries
My bother sentenced for a petty crime
La da da da da da
Trying to see past the ugly but it's hard to see
Most people don't wanna hear the truth if you're not real I don't f*ck with you
Most people don't wanna hear the truth if you're not real I don't f*ck with you
Yea the mission gotta carry on
'Til the ends get cut like a hair salon
And I ain't tryna come up short with it it's a marathon
RIP my nigga nip
Killed another leader, but wasn't the government
Was Holder with a rubber grip (this time)
Lack knowledge, no info
13th, new Jim Crow
Stayed down, talking 10 toes
Street life turn friend foe
Black man, Mr. Black Man
They done tried to bury you at bottom of the trash can
Trying to weave the tale for you in ways that only tracks can
Gotta hoop, rap or sell crack, it's a trap, man
Then they slap you with the harshest sentence, that's a back hand
And they slap with a harsher sentence than the white hand
Cuffs on a black man wrist a lil' tighter
Why the Bloods and the Crips get treated like Al Qaeda
That's why I'm smoking on that Afghan
Kush gettin' passed
'Til they pass legislation, need it fast, man
Thinking bout my demons and the struggles of the past, man
Got me out here running from the ghosts like I'm Pac Man
Most people don't wanna hear the truth if you're not real I don't f*ck with you
Most people don't wanna hear the truth if you're not real I don't f*ck with you
We still running this race today
Days go by, it stays the same
Thought that it would fade away
Ain't black and white, it's shades of gray
