Don't Step on Me!

But we got some lazy black men
Young folk killing each other (wait, wait, wait)
Blame it on the white cop and the white man (whatcha talking about?)
All of them shit
You know what I'm saying? (run it back, yeah)
It doesn't matter where you are in life, your God is not a man

We, stand in the gap for the homies that never made it out
R.I.P. to the nephew that was gon' make us proud
R.I.P. to the homie Mason, why was your time now
Lemme crank this loud out, get out my cloud
Seen so much shit, nigga numb to it
My head in a drift, play around in a ditch
Act like a bitch, I couldn't find my niche
I couldn't keep this act, so lemme switch
Truthfully, I'm cracking under pressure
When I tried to hang depression by the neck with a noose
It came back looking for my head like Oh Dae Su
To abuse with a vengeance, talk about a deuce
I was running so loose, I was looking for a new purpose
Serpents around my path, like a circus
Gave you a corpus over beats
Niggas listen now to the heat
When they used to just skip and step on my piece of mind
Piece of mind, don't step on me
I'm getting stronger, I stand harder
Piece of mind, don't step on me
I'm getting stronger, I think so
Prayers in my mind
Prayers in my mind all the time
Prayers for my ma
Prayers for my ma all the time, oh

Amir: Say I want to survive
Some people say I want to be happy
Yeah, some people say I want to be happy
Sometimes, being, sometimes doing what you love
Gives you financial stability
Which, it kind of gives you everything you want
But just, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes doing
Sometimes you have to do things you don't love
To get financial stability and you do
What you love on the side in the mist
It's different for everybody

Jayden: They say, people who love their job
Never work a day in their life

Amir: Yeah, it's not work

Amir: Life's too short to be, like
Tryna, tryna do what other people fucking want you to do, like
