Selfish
I ain't been this hurt ever And we deserve better When you see destruction, it's corruption, then it's vendetta We can stand or settle, every black boy ain't just born ghetto But we're in this bracket, police tactics, holding warm metal Whether you a athlete or a actress, this is hard as ever All just pose distractions, moving backwards while we're all disheveled Why we can't ignore this devil? My people's more than fed up We just earn a fraction, when there's actually much more to give us Riddled in these lies, oppressors wanna kill our strides Though the only way that they can shake us up is to take lives? It's cowardice Fists hoisted high will leave them powerless Dog this ain't new to us, it took too long just to acknowledge this Black skin is amethyst, our melanin discovered Spread our culture like Evangelists Anunnaki tribes, yo there's bludgeoned black lives Though it's constant, we can't be conditioned or desensitized To break them stigmas, rise Freedom Fighters, reuniting, please just be advised We can wage together, break the penn to free my guys Every fiber in me says that we ain't built for this demise Overstand what hatred does, but don't let it eat you alive First time looking in the mirror Another one resting in the fight Letras de cancionesRolling the dice to get the game going The game gon' take another life And I know it makes no sense Can everyone be selfish? I'll cry about it 'cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna die When the music from the soul, boy you Future-Proof Throw my fam a couple bucks, know they could use a few Yeah, I wish that I had more, but I make due with two Just monitor what type of energy is fueling you Our ancestors, our antennas Reaching for a place Somewhere outta space Or just somewhere Now I'm running circles in my labyrinth Many just avoid the pain, I had to decongest it Fools just manifest it I was there without this motive, rolled over in my emotions I ain't listen when you said "things'll change when you get older" Now it's funny, I'm hearing whisphers on my conscious And though it hurts to reminisce, the thoughts with you are timeless Couldn't wait to tell you 'bout how I got some records out Always lent an ear to me and always down to check it out Tensions boiling over, that shit creeping through my dome I fear another death so much, I dread just picking up my phone My fortitude is high, I saw my homies in the sky Seeking for another chance, on this planet we reside Wish that I could hold your hand, wish that we could be together I learned the hard way, that nothing seems to last forever Or does it? First time looking in the mirror Another one resting in the fight Rolling the dice to get the game going The game gon' take another life And I know it makes no sense Can everyone be selfish? I'll cry about it 'cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna die From Letras Mania
