歌词
[Verse 1]
I gotta give 'em my heart, I gotta give 'em my soul
Gotta push through the pain, gotta stay in control
Still they want me to fold, yeah, they want me to break
Leave me dead in the streets, naw, that can't be my faith
Tell me who can I trust, tell me who should I fear?
Hennessy in my cup, Hennessy in my tears
Gasoline in my lungs, Lil' bro on the drums
No high school diploma so they think that I'm dumb
Lord send me a check, Lord send me a sign
Least send me my watch, in case I run out of time
They want to give me a charge, they want to give me a case
Teacher called me a failure, she said it right to my face
Yeah, they called me a dealer, then they called me a killer
Then I went to the bank and they called me a ****
They forgot that I dream and my momma a queen
They forgot that I'm strong, they forgot that I'm a king
[Verse 2]
All the bullshit is getting really old
Gotta tell the story just in case it's never told
Right hand to God, it does something to my soul
When a black man turn nothing into gold
Keep a cup full so you know it's going down
One thing about the world, yeah, you know it's going 'round
Keep your head up, ****, no looking down
When they let you out them cuffs, readjust your crown, king
[Verse 3]
I gotta stay on my path, I gotta conquer my goals
Some call it success, I call it food for the soul
I know some can relate and the rest gon' hate
Do it with or without you so it ain't no debate
Seen blood in the streets, nightmares when I sleep
They must think I'm a diver, **** say that I'm deep
Oxygen is a must, **** dying for air
Got us all charged up, y'all better give him a chair
They got a license to kill, is you ready to die?
Notorious thugs, put your hands in the sky
Why you think that I'm drinking? It's to numb all the pain
Why you think that I'm smoking? It's to numb all the fame
Kill like I'm a target, got a X on my back
Not no regular artist, Malcolm X in a hat
They forgot that I dream and my momma a queen
They forgot that I'm strong, they forgot that I'm a king
[Verse 4]
All the bullshit is getting really old
Gotta tell the story just in case it's never told
Right hand to God, it does something to my soul
When a black man turn nothing into gold
Keep a cup full so you know it's going down
One thing about the world, yeah, you know it's going 'round
Keep your head up, ****, no looking down
When they let you out them cuffs, readjust your crown, king
[Verse 5]
Yeah, I know a place, that's if you wanna roll
Bring your own weed, even drink your liquor slow
Everybody in that bitch worth six figures
Best part about it they ain't killing no ****
[Verse 6]
Yeah, I know a place, that's if you wanna go
Money in the air, plenty strippers on the pole
Ain't no opps so you don't need no triggers
Best part about it they ain't killing no ****
