Been Through It

You won't understand it, ****

If you, uh

You won't understand the shit that I say

If you ain't been through it

You won't understand the words that I say

If you ain't been through it

Yeah

When a black man dies, does it post it on the news?

Is it talked about in church?

Do they want you in a casket or face down in the dirt?

Man, whatever comes first, but

Listen to my verse of inspiring quotes

A young **** made it through all of the fires and hoax

And then they wanna believe it's something destroying my folks

Man, you **** ain't woke, rather tip-toeing 'round

The issue, tryna prove you official

No Crips, no Bloods, no gang affiliation

Yet I'm one of the most respected **** across the nation

Because I'm dominating, bombing favorites

Cultivated, fuck around and make the whole industry fail

Prepare, the renaissance is coming, hope it prevails

Cynically failed, I'm sickle cell with lyrics I tell

You can't stop what was purpose, ****

Armageddon's certain, ****

Pistols poppin', bitches boppin'

Ain't nothin' certain, ****, yeah

When a black man dies, is it something we feel?

Deep inside, I say

You can't understand life, gotta run to it

And you won't get the shit that I say if you ain't been through it

Mmm, ooh

I said, you won't understand the shit that I say

If you ain't been through it

Uh, you'll never get the shit I say

If you never fuckin' been through it

(Been through it, been through it)

I don't even gotta believe in **** talkin' right behind my back

They don't know that my mind is an almanac

Press play, record the fact, the goat is back

You can't even act like you relate, you just a circus act

Ricky Rosé up in my city, but you just can't hold me back

Doin' all the shit you had imagined, you ain't put in work like that

Tryna live these picture-perfect frames, you ain't even write your raps

Make sense why they jockin' all those rhymes

Confidence ain't built like that

They know every flow of every spit was sacred, that's a fact

Every time I hold the coast down them others come and hurt they backs

Tryna be the one but life is short so, homie, just get your placks

You ain't doin' nothin' for my city, ****, I'm intact

Fresh up out the laundry mat, coldest ****, fuck the stairs

Check the press and check the news, you don't even know music

You can't understand the shit I say, if you ain't been through it

Uh, you won't understand the words that I say

If you ain't been through it, yeah

When a black man dies, does it post it on the news?

Is it talked about in church?

Do they want you in a casket or face down in the dirt?

Man, whatever comes first, but

Listen to my verse

Hero, yeah

All I see is green faces

All I see is green faces

All I see is green faces

All I see is green faces

Blood presidents

Blood presidents

Blood presidents

Blood on the presidents

All I wanna see is your faces

All I see green is faces

All I see is green, that's racist

All I see is green, that's racist

Hero, green faces, presidents

Face and presidents

Face and presidents

Face and

All I see is green faces

All I see is green faces

All I see is green faces

All I see is green faces

Blood presidents

Blood presidents

Blood presidents

Blood on the presidents

All I wanna see is your faces

All I see green is faces

All I see is green, that's racist

All I see is green, that's racist

Hero, green faces, presidents

Face and presidents

Face and presidents

Face and
