Yeah, listen, aye

Let me tell you what I hate

Everything I ain't

Everything I've done

Everything I break

I hate the way that you were saying I'd be great

Straight, let me tell you what I love

That there's no one above

The thought, "It is what it is"

Shit, same thought, it was what it was

Yeah, I'm like the dove that had flew

Too close to the sun and he knew

Deep down, there was nothing he could do, it's fucked

Because the sun was you, aye

But still, I tell you what I hate though

The same fellas getting bodied by the plainclothes

The same **** that would follow under rainbows

Very same boys that would follow on the way home

Yeah, either your jacket or your raincoat

Tryna take somethin' that ain't dope, it's painful

At times, wish I had a guardian angel

To help me with the brothers, that's shameful

But still, I love the rainfall

I love the fact that they're so fucking grateful

I love the fact that my plate's full

I love the money in my bank, it's disgraceful

So many zeroes

I've brushed shoulders with so many heroes

I lost count, still hold those dineros

Tryna say somethin', my ears, closed

I fear those lost in the past living on the recline

The same look up in their eyes if they're borrowing time

It's nine lives, on the eighth, see the finishing line

It's right there on the horiz-, couldn't finish the rhyme

I hate time

I said I fucking hate time (Time, time, time, time)

Yeah, they said that it was all that you could be if you were black

Playing ball or maybe rap

And they would say it like a fact

All my people in the back

All the nurses in the front, all my teachers, where you at? (Where you at?)

'Cause we've been living like a trap

Putting numbers on the wall, hoping people'll react

But it's a fact, we've been living in a trap

We're trapped

I hate, I love

Hate the ones who think that they're above

My grandfather told me, "Never trust in them"

But I do, you're the ones I shouldn't, true, I stuck with them

This is it

Still, I seen men hit women

Who hit back, all them couldn't give a shit

Hidden, but won't crack under pressure, feeling

Uh, aye, yo this shit feeling

Listen, yo, I fear women

I fear love, religion

I fear drugs, the feeling

I fear us, fear us

Nearing the end, but I can't comprehend my fears

Wisdom, I fear him

Yeah, I fear the color of my skin

I fear the color of my kin

I still feel the color that's within

Yo, they said that it was all that you could be if you were black

Playing ball or maybe rap

And they would say it like a fact, trust

So all my people in the back

All the nurses in the front, all my teachers, where you at? (Where you at?)

Yeah, 'cause we've been living like a trap

Putting numbers on the wall, hoping people'll react

But it's a fact, we've been living in a trap

We're trapped

Yo, they said that it was all that you could be if you were black

Playing ball or maybe rap

And they would say it like a fact

So all my people in the back

All the nurses in the front, all my teachers, where you at? (Where you at?)

Yeah, 'cause we've been living like a trap

Putting numbers on the wall, hoping people'll react (React)

But it's a fact, we've been living in a trap (We're trapped)

We're trapped (We're trapped)

(We're trapped) The man that flew

(We're trapped) All the way from the sun
