"war in the street no justice no peace No protest discreet nobody likes defeat So we fight for our lives hoping the treatment's fair And maybe kids go to school hoping to be less scared Wishing that lives would mean more we can breathe fresh air 'Cause love and happiness we really need this here Praying to the skies I don't gotta be woke And sir I'm not resistant I don't gotta be choked I'm just trying to make it home my kids need a dad And I'm trying to be the best one that I never had Trying to win for my family it ain't gotta be struggle I'm a real model citizen it ain't gotta be trouble Other countries get involved now we out of our bubble Using my mind and my muscle out on this everyday hustle

 

 

 [Verse 2] Uh Innocent lives get took innocent minds get hooked To the crooked propaganda the social op of the cameras The live streams and the fake news it's going real And every media platform who has the most appeal The feelings that are hate in our face already sealed The web of lies trapping the wings that try to fly To the victorious prize the penthouse up in the sky I ain't trying to win I'm going too the world's already mine And I'm a prime example of making it out of the mud Rising up out of the hood elevated out of the slums And going from that's my car to really buying one Luxurious cuisines not locked up by the machine 'Cause I've been pulled over I've been through the system But I didn't play victim I grew in acquired wisdom So now every accolade is bigger than the next And my mental health is solid I'm just triggered by success

 

 Too bad we just can’t press rewind

 Turn back the hands of time

 It’s ok to speak your mind

 But we all gotta change sometimes

 We all gotta change sometimes"
