Still

Former governor of Michigan is one of several people who've been told
They will face charges in the Flint water scandal
Republican Rick Snyder was in charge
When Flint's water supply became dangerously undrinkable
We need to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt that this water is safe

Family members, tell me, they got a call around nine thirty this morning
Telling them, Sammie Mcbroom was found dead in his home
Emotions running high on Flint's East Genesee Street
As police piece together a crime scene
"He was a good person, if you needed him he was always there
He never turns you away for anything"

My friend, why you inflicted

You wanna get lethal this summer, I feel like this life is a bummer
I had to go run through the tunnel
Like Willie E. Coyote, chasing Road Runner
Flint water it has a color
My partners got killed in the street
Sarge got beat with a bat, still he saw us that summer
Still we stand on two feet, still we caught in a trap
God can you come set us free
We carry the weight on our backs
Tryna do good for my neighborhood
Tryna live right cause God is good
I hope my mom is proud of me
Still, I feel misunderstood

"What's fear without the consequence
I gain experience through tough times
No kind in my confidence
I reside on dope lines of rhymes
But inside I feel steep"

Still, I walk by the valley of the shadow of death and God is still by my side
Still, I see that girl in my head being beat to death and she lost her life
Still, that girl left me on read, now she wanna come back in my life
Tell me what's right, man, pick up the phone, don't take your life, stand up for rights
Still, I wake up to the alarm and sometimes I don't give a mhmm
Still, I look in my phone and see people getting drunk, man, I don't give a mhmm
Sometimes I don't give a mhmm, mhmm
Maybe when we change, that's when I will start to care
Maybe when we, huh

Steep with my feet, falling into a deep sleep
Through the fear, leaving me weak
Weak, like seven days of pressure
But pressure pays cause pressure can make a diamond
But fear would say I was lying
What's fear, what's fear
What's fear when as a man you can be look down upon every time you tear
Tearing up in my eyes as mama say don't you cry
Ain't you suppose to be a man
I wanna holler back I am, I wanna holler back I am
Ain't you suppose to be a man, mama told me don't you cry
So no tears in my eyes
What's fear when as a man...
Fear what, I ain't lying, pressure turned me into a diamond
Every week, seven days, wide awake
But inside, I'm still afraid
Because I resided on words instead of actions to represent what I was lacking
No kind in my connection to fear
But I'm curious, how everyone feels hard times
But what's hard times without the experience
