Lyrics

They want me to hit rock bottom, authority love to point the finger
I'm guessing they don't like individuals with color
Dodging bullets ain't easy, can't phase me
Looking at me like I'm a menace to society
Screw the media, I don't gotta listen to ya
Times 2 to the lies that you told in the mirror
I'm trying to speak the truth to the young troops
The world is full bull, corruption and greedy fools
Politics lie, that's why we increase in homicide
Saying we need help, they but don't even want to try
You mad at me cause I'm exposing the madness
I think it's time for America to finally face the realness
It's time for us to wake up and open our eyes
It feels no one cares who really lives or dies
Peace is no where and violence is out of control
But still, you look at us like we're all a criminals
They look at me and label me
Thinking I'm a criminal
They look at me and label me
Thinking I'm a criminal
Hell naw, I ain't pulling no screw loose
I'm in the land of the thieves, why do I need salute
Now they think they're all stars, now y'all wanna hate
All fakers ever do is follow and take the bait
They snitch, wind up in a ditch and try to make switch
Instead of the enemy, they accuse the innocent
Doesn't add up, it's getting a little suspicious
Since you wanna still kill, we'll just protest on bridges
Bruh please, what you mean, who you trying to accuse
A lazy dude that has nothing to do
Treating me like I'm a fugitive up to no good
Think I'll shoot someone in the head like Luscious Lyon would
You rather listen to the rumors, so they can build up conspiracies
Try to make a cycle, so it can land on me
Think I'm talking nonsense, so you want me to flump
Since we're speaking on liars, you should really talk to Donald Trump
The government is more corrupted than the police
Saying this and that but we're not living in one peace
Cops protect and serve, but your actions are unusual
Instead of a citizen you see me as a criminal
They look at me and label me
Thinking I'm a criminal
They look at me and label me
Thinking I'm a criminal
May I have your attention please
This is where they call people refugees
So called land of the free, peace is what we need
Philly represent, the 5th I plead
Yes indeed, it's a jungle out here
We got children to feed and mothers to take care
Reality strikes like a knife in you're chest
Cause you don't if your going between life or death
Situations getting worse and worse
When we think we're all good, but they still treat us like dirt
You wonder why they only gave us 28 days
Cause they don't want us to see the light they want us to fade away
Think you above the law, injustice will fall
We've come this far, we don't need a damn wall
Call me what you to, I'm just tryin to warn you
Before we attend your early funeral
I'm just a young brother trying to get his point across
They rather talk about and joke about instead of being real with us
Think your slick, think we all tricked
Lying to others instead of helping the dying sick
Teach the suburban kids claiming we're all enemies
Then use propaganda to say we're refugees
Cops think they're bringing us down, but we're living it up
We let our voices be heard, before you start to bust
Even though we can't see the light yet, we gotta try
Find ways to love than hate trying to get by
But at the end of day, no matter how subliminal
They'll look at anyone with a color as a criminals
They look at me and label me
Thinking I'm a criminal
They look at me and label me
Thinking I'm a criminal
