They don't

[00:09.67] They don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat

[00:12.55] They don't want to see a young black man succeed

[00:15.28] They don't want to see me take my brothers out of the streets

[00:27.94] We ain't never free

[00:30.57] I'm grateful for life and the prize I reap

[00:33.19] Every day and every night, I get on my knees

[00:35.68] And I pray for my guys and they families

[00:38.22] Hope the Lord hear me

[00:41.06] I can only imagine the pain and the grief

[00:43.56] From the innocent mothers with all the shit they had to see

[00:46.07] When you lose the ones you love to the fuckin' police, it cuts deep

[00:50.16] When Heaven calls and the angels do they job

[00:55.68] We start to question God like we could play His part

[01:00.71] It gets so fuckin' hard, we can't escape the dark

[01:06.05] It's hatred in my heart for the ones who left this scar

[01:10.96] But everything will be alright soon

[01:12.86] I just wanna let you know ain't nothin' like you

[01:16.04] We live and die, that's always been the cycle

[01:18.55] I promise it wasn't about you

[01:21.07] When you make it to Heaven, give me your eyes, dude

[01:23.32] Watch over me closely 'til it's my time too

[01:26.07] The only thing I can do is turn to the Bible

[01:28.55] And do my best to help your family 'cause they're mine too

[01:32.39] But they don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat

[01:35.26] They don't want to see a young black man succeed

[01:37.76] They don't want to see me take my brothers out of the streets

[01:40.25] They don't want me

[01:42.75] They don't want me to sleep, they don't want me to dream

[01:46.00] They don't want to see my people livin' good and at ease

[01:48.15] They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys

[01:50.40] We ain't never free

[01:52.69] How could you blame as many sisters and brothers die?

[01:54.94] If they answer to it go and start another fire

[01:57.66] Guess they gotta do it, has to show objection to it

[02:00.39] God bless 'em, no direction, out there gettin' to it

[02:02.65] 2020, guess it's the year of the burn, consequences you earned

[02:05.90] To build this nation that you hate me in, the karma's returned

[02:08.66] Well, that's a stupid question, when will you learn?

[02:10.64] You never will, word to George Floyd, Emmett Till, and Sean Bell

[02:13.78] Guess they'd rather see us all in civil unrest

[02:16.53] Than to go and make some fuckin' arrests, fuck is that?

[02:18.67] Well, after that, here's to getting exactly what you expect

[02:21.54] How you 'posed to serve and protect with your knee on my neck?

[02:24.02] Look, it ain't hard to see you not for me, the cycle of atrocity

[02:27.01] Blew your cover when there about to be some reciprocity

[02:29.52] I'm with the cause, and it's gon' be whatever it got to be (Uh-uh)

[02:32.28] Uh-huh, but vandalizin' buildings, that's just not for me

[02:35.02] But even still, if I'ma be real with you, no fuckin' joke

[02:37.52] Best thing I seen, that police station goin' up in smoke

[02:40.26] Hmm, felt like vindication for so many folks (For real)

[02:42.77] Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, and so many more

[02:44.65] They don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat

[02:47.20] They don't want to see a young black man succeed

[02:49.96] They don't want to see me take my brothers out of the streets

[02:52.45] They don't want me

[03:04.97] Ayy, hold my hand, mama, I'm here for you

[03:07.20] They think they took your son, but they put him right next to you

[03:09.97] You the strongest thing on this earth, you unbreakable

[03:12.46] Plus you brought him into this earth and you raised him too

[03:14.95] Take a second off every day and get comfortable

[03:17.45] Celebrate yourself for a change 'cause you never do

[03:20.20] With all the pressure from society, you always hiding

[03:22.95] Go outside and show the world a better you

[03:25.20] I know you worried sick about if I'ma make it home this evening

[03:28.21] You know 'cause of my color, life ain't gon' be easy

[03:30.70] But I'ma be okay if I tell God I need Him

[03:33.20] That's what you taught me without even knowing you teaching

[03:35.95] See what I'm tryna say is you the furthest from weak

[03:38.44] And I sing your praises because you a G

[03:40.94] You made me and made the world a better place for your seeds
