Staring at the path at the foot of my grave/

As life steam rolls the pavement that leads to my cage/

Another day that I’m black and I’m guilty because of it/

My word against the sheets so I might as well done it/

How can I flourish when I’m up against a system that writes they own religion and staples racism law/

Smile at ya when they sentence you even knowing you innocent fuck the kids in predicament they victim of flaw/

Thirteen we ain’t need it they amendment’s is char/

Death threats to all the **** that keep passing the bar/

Who told you you could challenge the limits they put on you/

Gave em science and they traded for bigots with guns toward you/

Shoot em in the back they know a **** can run/

But a child in that place is too scared and stunned/

Knee down on the neck restrict the air from his lungs/

It ain’t no sympathy for him but he still calling for mom/

They get aroused knowing mom can’t help/

They think it’s power the hour melanin freezes with death/

Got the whole world thinkin it’s cool to place bets/

Will daddy save his child cause ain’t no saving his self/

And with that I’m on that ass with everything I got/

Cause after me nobody love em like me after I drop/

That much is evident and fairy tales are heaven sent/

We on a crash course directed by the president/

Staring down the barrel of a gun opposite of the trigga/

Pillar in his community but still he a ****/

Sometimes I wanna call it quits/

We living in a place that won’t allow us in to come and take a shit/
