Lyrics

Hopefully, this ain't how it's really supposed to be
'Cause it got me feeling like it really ain't no hope for me
Hopefully, make it home from buying grocery
Without my own kind or the police trying to go for me
Hopefully, this ain't how it's really supposed to be
'Cause it got me feeling like it really ain't no hope for me
Hopefully, make it home from buying grocery
Without my own kind or the police trying to go for me
Welcome to America where **** will bury ya
And police shoot to kill at will 'cause they scared of ya
Treat you like a predator 'cause of your color
Or a competitor if you in the streets with that butter
Put on a rubber whenever I'm fucking the world
Or fucking your girl, they sell they soul for diamonds and pearls
And **** too, it's really true the shit **** do
Stab you in your back, in fact the closest **** to you
Could be holding a gun, kill you for fun where we from
Do the math, to get what you have will take your life from you
Regardless what you fighting through, 'cause these **** fighting too
This the type of shit I see so this the shit I'm writing to
Hopefully, this ain't how it's really supposed to be
'Cause it got me feeling like it really ain't no hope for me
Hopefully, make it home from buying grocery
Without my own kind or the police trying to go for me
Hopefully, this ain't how it's really supposed to be
'Cause it got me feeling like it really ain't no hope for me
Hopefully, make it home from buying grocery
Without my own kind or the police trying to go for me
If things get worse, you know, can't take it personal
This how it is, it's just biz, every person for
Themself and I wonder how it happened
Where I'm from you selling drugs, playing sports, or you rapping
Trying to stack it and must keep the pistol in the jacket
For protection from a section, if they want it they'll jack it
So precise, the price that you pay for this life
Whether you good in the hood or you from the heights
It's still jeopardy, life a game, no referee
Especially if you're not the type to have integrity
Trying to be celebrity, walk this road carefully
Effectively, fortune over the fame but it's not sold separately
Hopefully, this ain't how it's really supposed to be
'Cause it got me feeling like it really ain't no hope for me
Hopefully, make it home from buying grocery
Without my own kind or the police trying to go for me
Hopefully, this ain't how it's really supposed to be
'Cause it got me feeling like it really ain't no hope for me
Hopefully, make it home from buying grocery
Without my own kind or the police trying to go for me
It's been this way so any day could be your last
It don't matter if you chasing goals or chasing cash
Living fast, see we was raised like this
Spent days like this so we are not phased by this
Every day is a homicide and **** gonna ride
It don't matter if it's on your father or your mama's side
Promise I will do my best to forgive
All the lessons from injustice I feel
Rest in peace Emmett Till and any other that died my color
Especially the ones that died by my brother
But fuck it, treat us like crabs in a bucket all around
You can only climb out by pulling each other down, damn!
Hopefully, this ain't how it's really supposed to be
'Cause it got me feeling like it really ain't no hope for me
Hopefully, make it home from buying grocery
Without my own kind or the police trying to go for me
Hopefully, this ain't how it's really supposed to be
'Cause it got me feeling like it really ain't no hope for me
Hopefully, make it home from buying grocery
Without my own kind or the police trying to go for me
