All the oppression
Stuntin' my progression
Why I gotta give more than what I got for a lesson?
Tryna lessen me
Apprehension
Beliefs in suspension
Mentioning
How we're so free
How lucky we should be
But why when I see the cops I get anxiety
What do you do
When your protectors are the ones you need to be protected from
Who do you call when it's the cops with the guns huh?!
How many more Mike Browns do you need before you feel threatened?
Restin' in your home watchin' Home Alone
Leave your home alone
Ignorance is all up in your chromosomes

Why should you feel worried?
Afterall you nowhere near Missouri
Like it's not your problem to solve
Those involved called by the coroner
As the issue evolves

See what's fucked up is that ain't the half of it
They will heal you, infect you, disrespect you for the laugh of it
And they love it
Gun to you, they cock it, money in they pocket
There's nothing above it
They just tryna lock it, down
Quiet sounds
Bound and wound up
But I'm never stayin' down
Goin pound for pound

I can't be silenced
I won't resort to violence
Retort with my VOICE
Vicegrips givin' me no choice
Used to, dream of Rolls Royce
Now I'm dreamin' noise
Poise
Hoisted up, unattainable
But I retain the name
I strained so hard to obtain
So I exclaim
Explain
Why those fightin' ignitin' the flame
To the torch we frightened of
All of our passion we losin' sight of
I might of
Been a scholar
Not bothered
By the nightmares a dollar cause
What I'm pausin' for?

I awoke this, morn
Figured out the world is hopeless
You know they gon ask why I wrote this
Most is rappin to get noticed
So this
Flow is
Not needed
The people need a voice, a few can be it
See it's
Not about obedience
Just be aware
Care for one another
Like you care about the statuses you share
Tears
We feel so alone because the casket's here
Back to fears
Reactin' to whatever's near
Another lost soul, shit is not fair
You do it for your rep
100 reps
Because there might be a gun at your chest
It's best
To live knowin' less
Because every person taken you owin' less
