Lyrics
They want me six feet deep
They want under the dirt
Don't wanna let me breathe
They want my momma to hurt
They might know my face
They might know my name
But they don't know my past
They never felt my pain
I don't wanna die
Somebody pray for me
The homies in the sky
Gon' have to wait for me
I can smell your lies
Watch what you say to me
'Cause I done seen a lot of shit
That I can never talk about
I don't wanna hurt your feelings
Why you gotta be so fragile?
We politickin' and you get offended
And I look like an assholе
Don't be surprised if you see gun men
Post outside of that businеss
They sick and tired of holdin' fire
And they just tryin' to end it
So pick a side, you crucified by everybody's opinions
And keep it peaceful
'Cause the people around here armed and malicious
Protected by the amendments
I want you all in attendance
When I say that I ain't ever backin' down
With God as my witness
If shit get real
I'll be right there in the field
Never folded and never will
Yeah, everybody better chill
No, it won't be none a that in this little town
This ain't the place you wanna fuck around
'Cause shit could happen in the midst of action
Just imagine that, if people stand they ground
In my neighborhood
The one that had raised me and painted my character
Nothing was good and nothing was fair
But this is America
You get one shot in this life
Pretend like you're shooting a Derringer
Ain't no fuckin' with me
You come fuckin' with me and I'ma embarrass you
They want me six feet deep
They want under the dirt
Don't wanna let me breathe
They want my momma to hurt
They might know my face
They might know my name
But they don't know my past
They never felt my pain
I don't wanna die
Somebody pray for me
The homies in the sky
Gon' have to wait for me
I can smell your lies
Watch what you say to me
'Cause I done seen a lot of shit
That I can never talk about
I'm speaking the truth and you disagree
But what can you do
Here's a message to the lootin' ass
Little broke bitches that I see on the news
Whatever got you thinkin' you can come and do what you want
Well, that ain't the move
Gotta protect what I built on my back
If I'm backed in the corner, it's legal to shoot
Hard for you to see the other side
You ain't been a victim, all I want is rights
That ain't protest, that's a mob and riot
People shot dead just the another night
Might be mislead but let it just be said
You only voting left because they voting right
If we all people, then we all equal
Gotta come together, ain't no better time
Divided we stand, united we fall
What have we done?
We are the puppets
Who are the heads, what are the plans?
Who would have thought
Who seen it comin'
Why everytime I see the police around me
I get hella nervous, like I'm doin' bad
If I get profiled, I get pulled over
Maybe handcuffed and put up in the back
But I won't resist
You can search me, I insist
Yeah, you know that's confidence
Play cool 'cause I ain't got no time for this
Yeah, then I say bye and wave
And I just drive away
And that's just it
Bitch, it wasn't some kind of privilege that I ain't die today
In my neighborhood
The one that had raised me and painted my character
Nothing was good and nothing was fair
But this is America
You get one shot in this life
Pretend like you shooting a Derringer
Ain't no fuckin' with me
You come fuckin' with me and I'ma embarrass you
I don't wanna die
Somebody pray for me
The homies in the sky
Gon' have to wait for me
I can smell your lies
Watch what you say to me
I wanna say a lotta shit
That I can never talk about
