about

Stream of consciousness, no hook.

lyrics

Hoodie on but the windows down
Legends of the fall, we just picking up the tempo now
Smelling blood as the year comes to a close
Run up on goals
Throw any fear that’s based on limits out

Any doubt
Has to be dismissed cause life is too short
Want to shout any time a cop case makes it to court
My life’s at risk if I’m at the club or on the couch
At the store or in my house
All of the U.S. can vouch

Low justice if there’s makeup on and tears flow
No justice if there’s a badge and claim of fear for
Life. Shooter’s dark and they’re terrorist or hoodlum
Shooter’s melanin deficient, they were just a good one

Who’s misguided.
His mind is
Unhealthy
If from wealthy
Stock. Focus is on helping
Avoid punishment cause that would damage their futures
What about the girls they rape
Or the victims they shoot up

Lil dark homies doing bids way too long
For dime bags or a couple strikes they got screwed on
Come up in environments where they dodge bullets, true that
But PTSD’s just a thought for lighter skinned hughes when

Rehabilitation gets discussed
I don’t think that we actually say these things enough
But then it gets brought up and people claim that it’s too much
So I’m just trying to win and get this paper, that’s a must
On my own terms cause I guess safety ain’t for us

Not when deputy profiles me right after I’ve met with his boss
Not when me walking down the street in KC gets windows locked
Whether in blazer and button down or in sweats when I walk
Hustle harder cause I’ll just get disrespect if I’m dropped

Find a way to make me look like I’m evil
Point out THC when THC is legal
6f can profit from it. They can let that tree grow
But don’t let it be in your system if you’re melanin is more than zero
And you get blasted while you’re still strapped into your seatbelt

These are things that should never happen to free folk
We got enough trying to stem violence from our own people
Which is something that naysayers are bringing up
Anytime it looks like all of the above could be discussed
But considering the crime is usually race to race
You do you in that regard. That topic, you should leave to us

And for my peers making strides in communities
Bringing change beautifully
I salute you. Keep it up

Sometimes I fear that we might be the only people who believe in us

Man

This shouldn’t happen to free people
