Hard times, turn them into hard lines

It's hard when the pains all rhymes

It's hard when the pains all mind

Had to put it over matter

Releasing doubt because of chatter

Who call the shots besides the ones you had me force up it's dark we lift the torch up

I know darker minds trying to scorch stuff

Cousin pump the shotty then he blow guts

She peek and try to sneak a touch

Sorry Gabrielle, lied and said we'd keep in touch

Mall movies catch a touch quick

Pulled it out she nervous never touched dick

Never touched the box I explode quick

Everything I did before I spoke it, uh

And this life shit ain't always wack

But I wouldn't want it if I wasn't black

Kobe, and Chadwick, weep don't sweep this under our rug

Coping with the mask on, my **** we can't hug

Tug on my sleeve and you'll see my heart

Tug of war with an uneven start

You hate us **** but consume our art

You losing races with a head start

You a proven racist fighting losing battles

Should've used your head you should've been smart, should've been smart

Black babies missing, I'm tired of crying

Is you trying hard or is you hardly trying

Know my momma sick I know my father lying

Know my father sick I know my momma lying

Need to start building militias

I see the triple twos, the universe is with us

My soul a shin guard wish you'd try and trip us

My spirit fit for the coldest winters

My skin equipped the sun is burning with us

Burning with us, it's like we brought a furnace with us
