Outta Time (1-Take)

Now, we don't need no pat on our backs

We ain't satisfied with that shit

They said that they genuine

But men are straight-up catfish

'Cause my people are dyin'

Much quicker than the average

Ever understand the tragic habits of these black kids?

Would've been straight if them colonies never come along

And we don't need nobody tellin' us we done it wrong

They starin' too long when they look at me with utter disgust

But it ain't me, believe, society been fuckin' this up

Father beat me, so I'd rather be out runnin' 'em up

Than be at school, or at home, wasn't nothin' to love

Fourteen years old, drinkin' and smokin' the buds

Doin' what my daddy did, drunk, I found at the pub

Uh-huh, but look, that dumb is what I'm used to

And all that shit that's on the news wasn't new to us

They done pay dues to us, I don't watch morning shows

'Cause they don't know what it's like when you pawn this, broke

This government's a joke, I ain't really listenin'

Everything they talkin' belong in the pot I'm pissin' in

A fair argument, never in a million

They took over this land just to tell me what a Christian is

Hand a cord, I bet that they don't even know themselves

To cut me off, and then tell me places to go for help

I was gettin' high at times when I was low, 'cause hell

I don't know who's on my side, I don't even know myself

And the road gets cold, when you know you gotta go yourself

Had the sense, but you left it back home on your shelf

What I tell ain't no story, it's reality

They ruinin' our land just for their money, and it's sad to see

All the hate and all the greed in these people

I cannot believe in the evil in people

How we gonna find a time to teach all these people?

What my brothers gotta do to be equal as people?

I don't trust governors, they ain't even the people

They ain't even livin' through the shit that we livin' through

Got a nice place, fire-place up in that livin' room

Disgracin' my race to my face and now I'm in my mood

I feel the parts hit us hard enough to feel the bruise

This obsession for a dollar's gonna kill a few

So learn your lesson, walk in love, what you need to do

You put your own race above another

But we all human

Time is up, bein' patient, end o' case

It's a race, now, to make sure that we straight

'Cause the world's gettin' cold

People need the light

So, I come with that fire every time I rock a mic

Hit a vibe wit' the flock

I work that shit forever, but if I'ma get it right

I better get my shit together, so I put in the effort

Get the cash and then stretch another half-steppin' brotha

I'll make sure they get the message

And leave these haters guessin'

They never know what I'm 'bout to go and do, bruh

But trust, I'm bussing out, I've got this covered like I do know

And the way that I maneuver, it's super

So, tell these rappers, suit up

'Cause I'm in it for way more than the moolah

I want that type of shit that maintain your brain like Medula

Oblongata, rather be smarter than pick a tool up

Targetin' the bastards, always tryin' to confuse us

Wanna take away our pathways? I'm about to start a new one

Can't talk, 'bout to blast off, three, two, one

Everyone in front better make way or move up

Rememberin' the days dad sayin' I'm a loser

Now I'm usin' every minute that I got, can't lose one

This is for the ones who've been abused, feelin' used up

Choices that you make matter, think before you choose one

Some people never know love until they lose one

Some people never show up until the food come

But you the one in charge of you, stay focused

Emotions never had you, you just have emotions

Yeah, I know you had it hard

Just know I was thinkin' of you all the while I wrote this

Much love
