Lyrics

They want me six feet deep They want me under the dirt Don't wanna let me breathe They want my mama to hurt They might know my face They might know my name But they don't know my past They never felt my pain (Fuck they talkin' 'bout?) I don't want to die Somebody pray for me The homies in the sky gon' have to wait for me I can smell your lies Watch what you say to me 'Cause I done seen a lot of shit that I can never talk about I don't wanna hurt your feelings Why you gotta be so fragile? We politickin' and you get offended And I look like an assholе Don't be surprised if you see gunmen post' outside of that businеss They sick and tired of holdin' fire And they' just tryin' to end it So pick a side You' crucified by everybody's opinions And keep it peaceful, 'cause people around here armed and religious Protected by the amendments I want you all in attendance When I say that I ain't never backin' down, with God as my witness If shit get' real, I'll be right there in the field Never folded, and never will Everybody better chill No, it won't be none of that in this little town This ain't the place you wanna fuck around 'Cause shit could happen, in the midst of action Just imagine that, people stand they' ground My neighborhood, the one that had raised me, and painted my character Nothing was good, and nothing was fair But this is America You get one shot in this life Pretend like you' shootin' a Derringer Ain't no fuckin' with me You come fuckin' with me and I'ma embarrass ya They want me six feet deep They want me under the dirt Don't wanna let me breathe They want my mama to hurt They might know my face They might know my name But they don't know my past They never felt my pain (The fuck they talkin' 'bout?) I don't want to die Somebody pray for me The homies in the sky gon' have to wait for me I can smell your lies Watch what you say to me 'Cause I done seen a lot of shit that I could never talk about I'm speaking the truth and you disagree But what can you do? Here's a message to you' looting ass Little broke bitches I see on the news Whatever got you thinkin' you can come And do what you want, well that ain't the move Gotta protect what I built on my back If I'm backed in the corner, it's legal to shoot Hard for you to see the other side You ain't been the victim, all I want is rights That ain't protest, that's a mob or riot People shot dead, just another night Might be mislead, but let it be said You' only votin' left, because they' votin' right If we all people, then we all equal Gotta come together, ain't no better time Divided we stand, united we fall What have we done? We are the puppets Who are the hands? What are the plans? Who woulda thought? Who seen it comin'? Why? Everytime I see the police around me I get hella nervous, like I'm doin' bad If I get profiled, I get pulled over Maybe handcuffed, and put up in the back But I won't resist, you can search me, I insist Yeah, you know that's confidence played cool 'Cause I ain't got no time for this Yeah, then I say, "Bye", and wave And I just drive away and that's just it Bitch, it wasn't some kind of privilege that I ain't die today My neighborhood, the one that had raised me, and painted my character Nothing was good, and nothing was fair But this is America You get one shot in this life Pretend like you' shootin' a Derringer Ain't no fuckin' with me You come fuckin' with me and I'ma embarrass ya I don't want to die Somebody pray for me The homies in the sky gon' have to wait for me I can smell your lies Watch what you say to me I wanna say a lot of shit that I could never talk about
