You on that white collar tip playing office politics
Do it to feed the fam no it ain't really your twist
But you do it for the bennies and making consistent cash
Till your side business pops and you tell'em to kiss your ass
But in the meantime you play the game
You do your job, mind your biz, yo stay in your lane
Try and refrain from doing anything to jeopardize your wellbeing
Courteous, you know, speaking to everybody you seeing
But this one manager, nah he just a supervisor, but
You get this vibe from him like he got a problem with
People of color, more specifically you
Can't really pinpoint it, just the little shit he do
Is it all in your head? Nah dog you feel it's true
You think he got beef with you, but he ain't even got a clue
He ain't even on his mind, he got bigger fish to fry
You step to him in the parking lot while getting in his ride
He all puzzled, he don't know what the hell you talking bout
He said problem with Black folk? Break the f*ck out
I got adopted Black kids and the state is tryna take'em
I love'em more than life and everyday my heart aching
Cause they mama off drugs and she want her kids back
But those is my kids now so I'm tryna deal with that
So ain't no problem with you, you can go and chill out
I'm just busy fighting battles you know nothing about
Cause it ain't always bout you, be kind, be compassionate
You think you know, but you ain't even know the half of it
Think before you speak and open your mouth
See everybody fighting battles you know nothing about
Yeah fighting battles you know nothing about
Got nothing to do with you so you can go and chill out
Yeah, I try to tell you be kind, be compassionate
You think you know, but you ain't even know the half of it
She said she sick and tired, of always being sick and tired
She decide she on a mission to reposition her life
No more with different buls hopping in and out of rides
Not worried about the out, she's focused on the inside
A lot of fast life, late nights up in clubs
Hooking up with dudes that only lust, never love
Said it's getting old, so is she, so the aim is
The Compound Effect, she slowly making small changes
Tighten up her circle, cutting out the dream killers
And folks who tear you down, now she only chill with builders
People that's bout something, that set goals and get'em
Positive vibes only, the negative people, dead'em
Here you come tryna holla not knowing you missed the window
Of opportunity, she ain't interested in no
Game you tryna spit knowing you just tryna hit
Love'em and leave'em on some Rick and Teena type shit
She ain't with it, she focusing on school to start a business
Elevate her mind and living, tryna be self-sufficient
So the game you tryna run dog is kinda played out
Cause she busy fighting battles you know nothing about
