Killem With Kindness

Yo yo

This for all my

Progressive thinkers

Yo, cautious with the image that I'm giving

What used to be appealing is the shit that I'm resenting

Feel like I ain't living, I'm dealing with so much

On the low I'm acting tough, but I ain't been happy in a minute

And what's crazy is this is just the beginning

Riding round Vegas, trying to build my foundation

That immediate happiness is awaiting

But I feel it's overrated, I'm keeping a clear conscience

I just wanna do my own thing

A good heart, but what if I'm out here fighting for the wrong things?

Became a daddy and started watching my behavior

Helping **** out, but **** running out of favors

It ain't about the paper

It's about what you gone do with it

You on your music tip, but tell me, is you the creator?

These **** don't know how to act

I should a been a school counselor

To see what they'd get out of that

All I wanna do is help, if it's a little

Got up in this game to really try and make a change

Wanna settle down, but this shit is so confusing

I'm just going through a stage

Where I'm learning how to be brave

Fuck a phase, this is life, all I need is me

Look into my daughters eyes, and then I get the water eyes

If I die, pray to God, she know her father tried

Word, word, word

'Cause we wanna live our lives

Embrace faith, win against all odds

In our eyes, to judge ****, that is not our job

To be a man, it is not that hard

We gon' kill 'em with kindness

When they try to take you out your comfort zone

Ay yo, it's time to be a man and understand

We gon' kill 'em with kindness

And you know you gotta fucking hold your own

Can't let them take us away from the fam'

We gon' kill 'em with kindness

Now I'm thinking in reality

Actually, I was thinking 'bout stability

I watched my single mother feet hurt for years

Just to barely pay the bills, I don't know, that shit's killing me

But I don't wanna live like that

Mama, I don't wanna see you live like that

I told my little brothers, we can build a new life

For the ones that gave us life, we can give that back

I know we tend to hold grudges

I can't control it, I'm unfolding the emotion that I'm holding

Hope the way I saw it ain't the way I won't approach it

I'm just focused on the better me

This rap shit is my pedigree

Lately I've been feeling life testing me

She say she down, and she say she wanna ride

Release the need to please or be validated by eyes

In disguise, I'm just focused on what makes me come alive

I've learned to not take nothing personal

Bad environments have been my disadvantage

Not trying to be accepted, it stepped me out of my box

And now these **** watch me like I got all of the answers

But this is what I built for myself

Realistic, always had to keep it real with myself

So when they talk and it's negative or it's false

We channel out the negative thoughts without any help

'Cause just wanna live our lives

Embrace faith, win against all odds

In our eyes, to judge ****, that is not our job

To be a man, it is not that hard

We gon' kill 'em with kindness

When they try to take you out your comfort zone

Ay yo, it's time to be a man and understand

We gon' kill 'em with kindness

And you know you gotta fucking hold your own

Can't let them take us away from the fam'

We gon' kill 'em with kindness
