lyrics

I’m chasing my blessings and making it work
I was made from the dirt,

Birth is amazing you live then lay under earth

I took the mud and I made it my worth

Expanded to a mansion in the mind it’ll soon comes into the universe

It’s worse, American made making it through the masquerade

Being Black today is Cassius Clay wit a path to pave

you can run, shoot or Catch the fade

& if you mastering A it’s best you never come back this way

Just evacuate, pack it up, cast away

Im from the K the roots deeper than the blackest slave

It’s in the blood you can track the trace

Traumatic, Imagine, everything was practiced in a passive way

Let The Dolla circulate,

I grew up where the beef get ate, Jordan Jammed & cats percolate

Regurgitate all ya laws & teachings

The war is everlasting no one ever gets even
(I promise it)

➖➖➖➖➖➖
My daughter asked me was I coming home before I left for her I never break promised

They saying serve & protect but all they do is harass & arrest & break promises

They wanna lock my body, they tell us that they gon give then take rhey break promises

They wanna take my soul and see me off in a hole I can’t honor it
➖➖➖➖➖➖

Twas a cold night before the heartbreak,

calls & heartaches, shots rang out made his whole block shake

Rainstorms , shooter running through puddles cuz he ain’t goin

His co-d was caught but everything seemed foreign

He knew the code, police rolled, point it & blew a load

One was apprehended but other shooter drove, & fled

Clothes is red putting foes to bed

The bullhorn explodes now the “white shirt” is red & furious

Shooter at large armed & dangerous

sirens is goin, every car alarm is banging —Out its mind

the shooter played a chick for a alibi

But little did he know was how them ppl would stategize

Guns cocked - & then the footsteps & loud knocks

Shorty was up getting ready for work to them loud pops

(BANG)

The cops shot & saw a gun when they rushed,

But all the shorty had was a black hair brush, WTF?!?!!
