MASK

Hard times, turn them into hard lines It's hard when the pains all rhymes It's hard when the pains all mind Had to put it over matter Releasing doubt because of chatter Who call the shots besides the ones you had me force up it's dark we lift the torch up I know darker minds trying to scorch stuff Cousin pump the shotty then he blow guts She peek and try to sneak a touch Sorry Gabrielle, lied and said we'd keep in touch Mall movies catch a touch quick Pulled it out she nervous never touched dick Never touched the box I explode quick Everything I did before I spoke it, uh And this life shit ain't always wack But I wouldn't want it if I wasn't black Kobe, and Chadwick, weep don't sweep this under our rug Coping with the mask on, my nigga we can't hug Tug on my sleeve and you'll see my heart Tug of war with an uneven start You hate us nigga but consume our art You losing races with a head start You a proven racist fighting losing battles Should've used your head you should've been smart, should've been smart Black babies missing, I'm tired of crying Is you trying hard or is you hardly trying Know my momma sick I know my father lying Know my father sick I know my momma lying Need to start building militias I see the triple twos, the universe is with us My soul a shin guard wish you'd try and trip us My spirit fit for the coldest winters My skin equipped the sun is burning with us Burning with us, it's like we brought a furnace with us
