This Ain't Normal

What does it mean to be strong?
What type of barrier forms
When you enduring the harm
You found the strength to keep going
Pain in your life was horrendous
But still you never surrendered

Did whatever it took you to go along for the distance
See it's a difference

'Tween heroes and cowards
Mainly the action they took
Whenever danger surrounded

Now what's profound is
We all walking testimonies
Shared stories meaning we was never lonely
You hear the pain in my vocals
I'm letting you feel what I go through
Look in my eyes and I'll show you
Nigga this, nigga that, nigga it's real
Shit going on that ain't being talked about
Yo

I was just watching a film and feeling the energy after the shock
Black women being killed, a C-section really cost 'em a lot
Opioids running wild and get in your system and making you rot
White doctor gon' smile, he know that he making money 'round the clock
I'm hearing these stories exhausted
I really try not to be heartless
The world got me on defense
When it's time to play offense
Office, coffin, auction
Nigga this, nigga that, niggas still for sale

They warring around the world
They warring around the corner
They murdering boys and girls
The trauma been making us stronger
This shit ain't normal
