They don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat
They don't wanna see a young black man succeed
They don't wanna see me take my brothers out of the streets
They don't want me
They don't want me to sleep, they don't want me to dream
They don't wanna see my people living good and at ease
They wanna lock them all up and then get rid of the keys
We ain't never free
I'm grateful for life and the prize I reap
Every day and every night I get on my knees
And I pray for my guys and their families
Hope the Lord him
I can only imagine the pain and the grief
From the innocent mothers with all the * they had to see
When you lose your ones, you lie to the * police
It cuts deep
When heaven calls and the angels do their job
We start to question God like
We could play his part
It gets so * hard
We can't escape the darkness
Hatred in my heart for the ones who left us gone
But everything will be alright soon
I just wanna let you know ain't nothing like you
We living that it's always been a cycle
I promise it wasn't about you
When you make it to heaven give me your eyes dude
Watch over me closely till it's my time too
The only thing I can do is turn to the bible
And do my best to help your family cause they mine too
But they don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat
They don't wanna see a young black man succeed
They don't wanna see me take my brothers out of the streets
They don't want me
They don't want me to sleep, they don't want me to dream
They don't wanna see my people living good and at ease
They wanna lock em all up and then get rid of the keys
We ain't never free
How could you blame as many sisters and brothers die
If they answer to it, go and start another fire
Forget they got to do it, forget to do it
How else they show objection to it
God bless em, no direction out there getting to it
2020 guess it's a year to burn
Consequences you earned
To build this nation that you hate me in
The karma's returned
Well that's a stupid question, when will you learn
You never will, word to Joy, Floyd, Emmett Till
And Sean Bell
Guess they'd rather see us all in civil unrest
Than to go and make some * arrests
* it then
Well after that here's to getting exactly what you expect
How you pulled the serve and protect
With your knee on my neck
Look it ain't hard to see you not for me
The cycle of atrocity blew your cover when they about to be
Some real surprising
I'm with the cause and it's gon' be whatever it got to be
Uh-huh, but vandalizing, building, that just not for me
But even still, if I'ma be real with you, no * joke
Bad thing I seen that police station going up in smoke
Felt like vindication for so many folks
Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, and so many more
They don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat
They don't wanna see a young black man succeed
They don't wanna see me take my brothers out of the streets
They don't want me
They don't want me to sleep, they don't want me to dream
They don't wanna see my brothers out of the streets
They don't want people living good and at ease
They wanna lock em all up and then get rid of the keys
We ain't never free
They hold my hand, mama, I'm here for you
They think they took your son, but they put him right next to you
You're the strongest thing on this earth, you unbreakable
Place you brought him into this earth, and you raised him too
Take a second off every day and get comfortable
Celebrate yourself for a change, cause you never do
With all the pressure from society, you always hiding
Go outside and show the world the better you
I know you worry sick about it, but I'ma make it home this evening
You know, cause I'ma make it home this evening
Cause of my color, life ain't gon' be easy
But I'ma be okay if I told God I need them
That's what you taught me without even knowing your teaching
See, what I'm trying to say is you're the furthest from weak
And I sing your praises because you a G
You made me and made the world a better place for your seeds
How the * could anybody take them away from their queen?
I don't wanna see they taking from me










you
