Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Uh, mama focused on religion
Tryna stop me from sinnin'
But I'm focused on the system
And I don't think that she gon' get it
They tryna take your sons away
Pipelines to the prisons
Shoot a black, get a pension
Shoot a white, get a sentence
[Verse 2]
White shooters want attention
Hoodie on, I'ma kill 'em
Shoot a school and they different
They just trouble, they just lost
They was quiet up in school
We get killed for nothing
But it's crazy narratives, it's different
They say we thugs, that we ****
You think you slick but it's no different
[Verse 3]
Corporate prison, labor pimpin'
Same Jim Crowe Livin'
Black men kill black men
That's not right but black men pay
White men kill black men
That's not right but white men pay
Black skin, not human
Said the teachers to the students
[Verse 4]
Their dreams to far to reach
Black not beauty in the media
Say if you too dark you need to bleach
You lazy that's why you all in the streets
If you working hard you'll be like me
Why you always talkin' back to police?
That's how you go and get killed in the street
In the land of the free
[Verse 5]
Cedric coulda been my system
Heart hurtin' need a 'scription
That ain't workin', still trippin'
Rakeem coulda been my system
I drown my thoughts in the liquor
And pour out some for my ****
Who woulda been right here with us
But they just got trapped
In the system of grieving
[Verse 6]
For all my **** who can't be here, yeah
Said I'll pour out three fifths
(Pour out, pour out)
For all my **** who can't be here
[Verse 7]
They treat me like three fifths
(Pour out for me, pour out to me)
But I ain't the reason they be here
(Pour out for me, pour out to me)
So I'll pour out three fifths
(Pour out for me, pour out to me)
Said I'll pour, said, I'll pour
(Pour out for me, pour out)
Said I'll pour, said, I'll pour
Said I'll pour out three fifths
[Verse 8]
(Wait all day, wait all night)
('Cause they take right before my eyes)
(Wait all day, wait all night)
('Cause they take right before my eyes)
[Verse 9]
(Wait all day, wait all night)
('Cause they take right before my eyes)
(Wait all day, wait all night)
('Cause they take right before my eyes)
(Wait all day)
