Started, 5 years old
They plotting just to ship up the road
They know where we from
What we don't know
Know that, if they chop us down, then we won't grow
They know about the drugs, they're pushing it in
They highjacked the culture
They're doing us in
They highjack the culture
They serving us the bids
They really want the future
They're coming for kids

Yeah
Yeah

You'll rise if you're educated (Ugh)
Keep 'em uneducated (Ugh)
Keep 'em incarcerated
Give em a plea for they cases (Ugh)
Pin 'em on all the cases
Make it hard, like crack in the 80s

Yeah, yeah

Youngin', it's us that you're shooting
Brother, it's us that you're serving
Family, it's us that you're hurting
Whip us real good, so we won't rise
Strip all the motivation!
Strip all the motivation!
Give us more interest and payments!

Ugh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Knowledge is wealth
Make 'em hate they self (Ugh)
They got stocks in the rap game and the prison
They found a way to monetize poor folks (Ugh)

Perfecting our poverty (Yeah)
Perfecting dishonesty
Perfect your theology
Martin came and they shot at him
They're lockin', they're locking us up more
The system is flaw, it's cut-throat
Young and we're wilding no act right
Running with wolves, the pack life (Yeah)

Make dreams to get the bag right
Make moves to get the bag right
Running mayne
Running mayne

We get our food from the government
Soaking up game from the gang
Boys ain't beefing the same
Boys been changing the game up
My momma ain't graduate high school
Poor and we fight, too
We're black, and we're poor and divided
Jiggas is drowning and tired (yeah)
Jiggas ain't living right
So they're giving up they rights
I seen it a thousand times
Boys giving up on life (Yaaah)

Strive, until they put us in the graveyard
Fear no evil, they my people brave, yeah
They say we woke
We're on some other tip
Hate I'm they heart
They're on some other tip

Hell with money like: "Where your head, young?"
Bang in these streets, gone leave you dead young
Couldn't be more dead if you was dead young
I'm tryna give you living water
You're stuck on bread crumbs (Jesus!)
You get 'em hot, he gone resort to violence
All the devil gotta do is get someone to try ya (Try yourself)
Young black and we ain't got no father (Where your father)
Live reckless, den we repeat the cycle

You need way more than a job
Gotta start with a dream
How you're hungry, but ain't hungry?
How you're struggling, but quitting? (You quitting)
Can't write blood on no application (Nah)
30 years old, ain't got no occupation
I can be crippled by the system,
Or I can make a difference (Make a difference)
They're writing new laws... and we ain't represented
I need more color from the judge to the state senate
You're fighting for your life, don't be the one to end it
