I got a problem with certain people silencing black voices
Never could relate but be judging our black choices
We had to scream to be a part of that conversation
That's the complications of our generation
Heard niggaz say I changed cuz I'm signed now
Riding on a clydesdale and I ain't climb down
Painted lyrical pictures while I was living it
The message never changed and I'm STILL the one delivering it
Like I ain't played my dues
Like I ain't traveled cross states just to rock with the crew
Like I ain't save up mixtape money to lyvin the stu
Like we ain't build it from the bottom since the days middle school
Like I ain't pray through dark days just to brighten the view
It never mattered if the crowd was a thousand or two
Like I ain't have to skate to work while momma struggled for food
Like we ain't started our label at 22
Like I aint produced every one of my albums
Like I ain't do them free gigs and collabs
And the payment for the shows was just enough to get gas Like I ain't put in more than I got back, Imagine that
But this was larger than rap
I never harbored animosity or altered the facts
So I ain't bout to argue witchu
How could you ever question me that's larger issue

If you know you know
Thoughts in my head I thought I'd let you know its a
Hot kitchen, and a
Cold world and eventually you gotta leave both

How you disrespect your brown skin mothers then be talking bout "black lives matter" and take us to the motherland
Yehhhh I know them white dudes got it but I'd rather buy black and put some money in my brothaz hands
Black fabric, woven with bad habits but we alter the future historical mathematics
My Grandmother had Martin
My father had Malcolm,
We had Chad Boseman
all the same outcome
Lemme explain of you ain't get all three
Racism, Cancer, both a disease
To really kill a king you gotta kill all the seeds
But, legacy is immortal once them roots too deep, Peep
Politics is a lotta shit
But them policies got alot of my niggaz hit
Dems and Reps and crips and bloods, same shit its Red and Blue but You and Me watching different news
I'm from a town where they hated me cuz my momma black
My white friends used to ask me where my pops was at
I used to skate through the ville just clear my thoughts
Graffiti on the yellow slides before they called it art
Everybody wanna be black,till the cops come
Everybody wanna say nigga, when you not one
Everyone a G until an OG say you NOT one and
Everybody gunning for you til they gotta pop one
Young bulls wit horny shorties from Holy Cross
Always know what time but never take this Roly off
I Never been a fan of showing off
But sometimes I just be going off
Been established, Educated and still a savage
The endgame was to be Self made and Livin Lavish
So I ain't got time to argue witchu
How could you ever doubt us well that's a larger issue
