Lyrics I Need All That - Kå

"We see them... and they see us.
What faces me has never frightened me"

It's a pity we lodge in the city of dodge,
But not dodging.
Some slung bars to become stars,
I did it to stop starving.
How they done us was fungus,
Hung us, none of us got pardoned.
If asking, wasn't basking to scoop,
We was youth out robbing.
Took obvious toll,
Mind body and soul is where the scars been.
Not blessed as every source necessary,
When the Gods send.
Just missed it,
Being that statistic I was doomed to be.
Hearts far too heavy to make light,
And try to humor me.
Sad and trash, ain't had no class,
Way before the truancy.
Fight in the night, dragging the magnum,
If any try to slewing me.
Everyday we face the waste,
Its disgrace what the sewer see.
Pray I ain't back to hard knocks,
Trying to get a new degree.
Trying to provide fruitfully for those few that root for me
This music used to be how I got my news as youth,
Truthfully.
Back when they did it for the good of the hood,
Exclusively.
You can make it from the basement, proof is me

I want back everything they took
My culture, my music, my look
They rook how we greet,
How we speak, how we cook.
I want back everything they stole
My braids, my waves, my gold.
My chance, my dance, my stance, my soul
I want back everything they claimed
My glory, my story, my reign.
My divas, my Jesus, my credence, my name
I want back everything they scammed
My rights, my spice, my land.
My hide, my pride, my tribe, my fam
I can't fall back, I need all that.

"You not listening, that's what it is"

Enemy to many,
Wasn't equipped to be a friend.
Don't fear death, 'cause every peer left,
I get to see again.
Long as we jell,
I don't care if we in hell or we ascend.
What I cook's a guidebook,
To how to be as men.
What you pop is impossible,
Never been in true beef.
Every gangster I know either died,
Or turned a new leaf.
Who rule the day or prey the crude streets,
Now was due east.
Life changing moments with dangerous opponents,
Every few weeks.
Need true peace where better gaze predicates who eats
Plus the newbies' niche be thinking they zoo-keeps.

I want back everything they took
My culture, my music, my look
They rooked how we greet, how we speak, how we cook
I want back everything they stole
My braids, my waves, my gold
My chance, my dance, my stance, my soul
I want back everything they claimed
My glory, my story, my reign
My divas, my Jesus, my credence, my name
I want back everything they scammed
My rights, my spice, my land
My hide, my pride, my tribe, my fam
I can't fall back, I need all that
I can't fall back, I need all that
I need all that, B
I can't fall back, I need all that
All that!
I can't fall back, I need all that!

"I was needed. I would sing to help my people,
And that became the main stay of my life"
