Survive

Loaded they ready to shoot
They walking into the schools
Something inside of they mind
Is telling them killers the ones to pursue
Maybe it's still not an issue
Because you not part of the group
That bury they kids
And turn to the system defending the people like you
Now, here's a scenario straight from mouth of the people that you claim to hate
Why all of the teachers that's tutored your kids got negative words for the day
They come to me and I lift up they spirits but still it's a reason to hate
When half of the time you popping on twitter but don't say it all to my face
It's easy to see
The difference between you and me
Imma survive
I live through the flood
It's funny I'm flooding the streets
They killing my people and they want me numb
They trynna get me to fire the gun
Just so they cleared to run up in here
And treat me like another one
It ain't my intention but think I should mention
My friends that claim they support
Where would you be if I took on the city
And took all the rapists to court
Or how bout the killers
They going too
Suddenly this is offending you
All that that says
Is that the people polluting my city are people like you

I been through it all
I Live through the falls
It's just me and my sins
This not a game you win
But I still stand strong
When they do me wrong
Pray they spare my life
I survived too long

Living with all my transgressions
Praying that one day I learn
Look to the future for lessons
Look to the present for turns
Funny how people can see you
And think that they part of your plan
Tell em to stand for something
I even offer a hand
Turn up they nose and think I'm a peasant
Pleasantly draped in a robe
I ain't gone sweat it
They ain't no issue cause they was just stuck in they phones
Judging off pictures on IG
But probably won't see one of me
Lucky I'm not photogenic so I get an opportunity to see
All the pressure for the double taps
Leads them to terrible things
Soon as it don't go they way pick up the 40 and they let it ring
You survive but your whole class gone
You get back to twitter to a bunch of sad songs
But a few ain't get the message they tell you to suck it up
You wipe your tears and stand to face em rage covered up
All these people dying really use to mean mourning
Now its people getting killed every single morning you survived

I been through it all
I Live through the falls
It's just me and my sins
This not a game you win
But I still stand strong
When they do me wrong
Pray they spare my life
I survived too long
