Raised through the rain and the shame

And the pain never changed like that

Speakin' on my name with disdain

When we in the same frame

**** claim that it ain’t like that

Shorty playin' games

Said, I really ain’t the same

My demeanour never changed, girl, it came like that

Never been a slave

Take my freedom to the grave

I ain’t trippin' in the race for the fame like that

So, where I'm posed to go?

Aspirations overgrown

Papa raised a sober soul

Mama raised a rolling stone

Complicate the process defeating the demons that I tangled

It’s sweeter to try angles like a Toblerone

Pull up to the homie crib, mama left him home alone

Told him if it’s life or death, hit her on the mobile phone

We was just some my yutes

Scared to hit the ocean, so we posted in the bayou

Try to move in silence, they gon try you

Freeze, police lurkin', lookin' for leisure

Fourteen comin' out the pizza, pizza

They gon tell a ****, "Freeze"

Shakin' in the face of domination

Contemplatin' constellations

Know the homies never seen a **** freeze

Curbside incrimination

Makin' prayers to the maker

Hope that patience overtake him

Heart racin'

****, breathe

Nameless in the nation

Faces to the pavement

Entertainment when see another young **** freeze

Raised through the rain and the shame

And the pain never changed like that

Speakin' on my name with disdain

When we in the same frame

**** claim that it ain’t like that

Shorty playin' games

Said, I really ain’t the same

My demeanour never changed, girl, it came like that

Never been a slave

Take my freedom to the grave

I ain’t trippin' in the race for the fame like that
