歌词

[Verse 1]
I mean, what is there to fear?
I'm from black America, this just another year
You're new to disrespect by your elected puppeteers
Well, lemme show you how to persevere
Just get up every time somebody knock you down
And celebrate in front of people like they not around
And if they try to build a wall to keep your ballin' out of bounds
Use the bench they told you warm to keep the fences knocking down
Shout out to Latinos, 'cause hustlin' ain't illegal
We praying to the east or the father, we all are equal
But if parted they gon' progress in stopping us getting C notes
Well let me ask the crowd, do one of y'all disagree?
[Verse 2]
This for Chocolate City though, I represent the county
Until your vote is counted, know I got to tell I'm outy
It's all about the effort and I'm effortlessly fresher
If I'm preaching to the choir, know they're bound to get the lecture
It went from folks around me, pushing envelopes and boundaries
So you won't only hear me where you found me
I'm somewhere asking questions like, can I be afforded the most?
Better answer me with more than a no
Tryna tell ya
[Verse 3]
Ooh, never not getting enough
From this life, that I'm leading, and all I believe in
Y'all know, I ain't leaving, I'm posted like
Ooh, never not getting enough
From this life, that I'm leading, and all I believe in
Y'all know, I ain't leaving, I'm posted like
This is for the county and the areas surrounding DC
Maryland and Virginia, know I'm with you
[Verse 4]
Now what you willing to let die first, yo
Your pride or your freedom?
The story of my life in the conflict
It's like I follow my dreams
But how I'ma 'posed to slide in the DM
On this mic, what I'm trying to accomplish
I used to do it for the fist bumps and applauses
But caring 'bout respect started making me nauseous
You walk into a room, and bam I speak to you cautious
Like employees tryna figure out who the boss is
So now I just kick it for, the most divine
Working overtime
Sitting with an open bottle, looking for an open mind
Trying not to be aggressively jaded
'Cause I find myself just getting faded
And I know that ain't quite me
I step up for whatever it might be
And RSVP when inspiration invite me
'Cause who else gon' look out for those who look like me?
Another disenfranchised boy in a white T
C'mon man
[Verse 5]
Ooh, never not getting enough
From this life, that I'm leading, and all I believe in
Y'all know, I ain't leaving, I'm posted like
Ooh, never not getting enough
From this life, that I'm leading, and all I believe in
Y'all know, I ain't leaving, I'm posted like
This is for the county and the areas surrounding DC
Maryland and Virginia, know I'm with you
[Verse 6]
All I know is love
I give it how I get it, I can never get enough
Sympathy to enemies, 'cause hate ain't in my blood
And if you can't relate, you're giving up
I'm tryna make the most of it though
Getting close is a no
Want nothing lesser than a yes because it's supposed to be so
The cost of nothin', too low
My expectations, too high
I'd rather die than be complacent with the way that it go
Apathy is a disease and we just steady sharing needles
Unaffected people carry evil
Ease is what we know
We gotta raise the bar though
The sorrows of today will give away to a tomorrow
So what's a week of paid leave?
And empty promises of hiring
Just to fire me before retirement
I'm tryna make more in one day, than 401K
So gimme what you promised to pay
'Cause it's never enough
[Verse 7]
Ooh, never not getting enough
From this life, that I'm leading, and all I believe in
Y'all know, I ain't leaving, I'm posted like
Ooh, never not getting enough
From this life, that I'm leading, and all I believe in
Y'all know, I ain't leaving, I'm posted like
This is for the county and the areas surrounding DC
Maryland and Virginia, know I'm with you
