Lyrics Intro - Mekter

Do I matter do I matter
If my records never hit
Yeah I drank a lil bit
If you were me wouldn't you sip
I was dyin in the street
I ain't got nothin to eat
Flippin everything but what I need to make a couple beats

I was feelin a way
Cuz I was alone
I was swiping on tinder
I was glued to the phone

I ain't feel at home
In my own head
Thinking of death
While laying in bed

She left me on read
I shoulda been dead

Maybe I wanna die
I said what I said

Maybe I wanna die
I said what I said

Maybe I wanna die
I said what I said

Fast forward through the foreword
This the sequel to the terminator
Life is better if my attempts are any indicator

So much is goin wrong I need a cheat code for this simulator

I'm Deshi Mekter
The first of my name
Long or short fuck it this nigga gon reign
When I blow up shit I might cop a chain
My girl is a genius I'm lovin the brain

Let's hop on the train
Meant for the insane
You know how it go
Something wrong with my brain
Feelin the pain
If we fucked then she came
Better off headless
I'm Ichabod Crane

Don't do this for fame
That shit never work
My music is meant for my people who hurt
My people who people cannot help but classify
They gon lock you up when insane is ya alibi
They gonna vilify all of us now
Together we screamin we want justice now
I'm black and I'm proud
I'm sayin it loud
I feel like it's time we tear this shit down

So I try to confine
My thoughts and my feelings
Shit is destructive in need of some healing

I pray for my niggas when they talkin to cops
What year its gon be when the lynchings'll stop
With racists I flop
Every time that I drop
You just a hater
My last track was a bop
Ok lemme stop
Cuz I've lost my place
I got so high that I reside in the darkness of space
Cold like my heart turned
From traumatic memories

Feels like it's me vs me, who's truly the enemy
We way past the end of me
I'm already gone
Hurry up and choose either brain or it's brawn
I wake up before dawn
Write a throwaway song
Fuck the cards I have drawn
That's the short and the long

Think I am a ghost
Metaphysical flow
Psychotic but honest
Y'all trip on the low
I got some scars that I ain't wanna show
But I'm goin ghost my eyes boutta glow
Said I'm goin ghost my eyes boutta glow
Yeah I'm goin ghost my eyes boutta glow

Do I matter do I matter
If my records never hit
Yeah I drank a lil bit
If you were me wouldn't you sip
I was dyin in the street
I ain't got nothin to eat
Flippin everything but what I need to make a couple beats

In a nation where law enforcement can break into a sleeping
Black person's house and execute them
I know I don't matter

Rest in peace Breonna Taylor
