[00:06.81]America, god bless you if it's good to you
[00:15.45]America, please take my hand
[00:22.62]Can you help me underst...
[00:44.64]Yesterday I got a call like from my dog like 101
[00:47.21]Said they killed his only son because of insufficient funds
[00:49.85]He was sobbin', he was mobbin', way belligerent and drunk
[00:52.32]Talkin' out his head, philosophin' on what the lord had done
[00:55.02]He said: "k-dot, can you pray for me?
[00:56.46]Been a messed up day for me
[00:57.76]Know that you anointed, show me how to overcome."
[01:00.13]He was lookin' for some closure
[01:01.73]I can bring him closer
[01:02.90]Spiritual, my spirit do know better, but I told him
[01:05.20]"I can't sugarcoat the answer for you, this is how I feel:
[01:07.73]If somebody kill my son, that mean somebody gettin' killed."
[01:10.24]Tell me what you do for love, loyalty, and passion of
[01:12.84]All the memories collected, moments you could never touch
[01:15.41]I'll wait in front of homie's spot and watch him hit his block
[01:17.91]I'll catch the homie leavin' service if that's all I got
[01:20.38]I'll chip that homie, then throw the blower in his lap
[01:23.02]Walk myself to the court like, "man, I did that!"
[01:25.55]Ain't no black power when your baby killed by a coward
[01:28.15]I can't even keep the peace, don't you play with one of ours
[01:30.76]It be murder in the street, it be bodies in the hour
[01:34.63]Ghetto bird be on the street, paramedics on the dial
[01:35.90]Let somebody touch my mama
[01:37.06]Touch my sister, touch my woman
[01:38.36]Touch my daddy, touch my niece
[01:39.60]Touch my nephew, man I promise
[01:41.10]You chip the homie dead, then throw the blower in his lap
[01:43.57]Matter fact, I'm 'bout to speak at this convention
[01:45.40]Call you back...
[01:46.04](Gun shot)
[02:01.79]It's not a place (uh huh)
[02:05.39]This country is to me a sound of drum and bass
[02:12.100]You close your eyes to look around
[02:16.77]It's not a place (uh huh)
[02:20.01]This country is to me a thought
[02:24.11]That offers grace (uh huh)
[02:27.65]For every welcome that is sought
[02:31.25]Run your life, I live a better life
[02:33.55]I'm rollin' several dice
[02:34.92]Run your life, I live a better life
[02:37.06]I'm rollin' several dice
[02:38.52]Run your life, I live a...
[02:40.33]Run your life... I
[02:41.86]This is my heritage,
[02:43.03]All I'm inheritin 'money and power,
[02:44.43]The maker of marriages
[02:45.60]Tell me somethin'
[02:46.77]Uh, you can't tell me nothin'
[02:48.70]I'd rather die than to listen to you
[02:50.54]My dna not for imitation
[02:52.40]Your dna an abomination
[02:54.04]This how it is when you're in the matrix
[02:55.58]Dodgin' bullets, reapin' what you sow
[02:56.98]And stackin' up the footage, livin' on the go
[02:58.71]And sleepin' in a villa
[03:00.11]Sippin' from a grammy and walkin' in the buildin'
[03:01.81]Diamond in the ceilin', marble on the floors
[03:03.98]Beaches out the window, peekin' out the window
[03:05.52]Baby in the pool, godfather goals
[03:07.49]Only lord knows, I've been goin' hammer
[03:09.02]Dodgin' paparazzi, freakin' through
[03:10.36]Freakin' through the camera eatin' four daughters,
[03:11.86]Brock wearin' sandals yoga on a monday,
[03:13.83]Stretchin' to nirvana
[03:15.20]Watchin' all the snakes, curvin' all the fakes
[03:16.70]Phone never on, I don't conversate
[03:18.53]I don't compromise, I just penetrate
[03:20.43]Sex, money, murder, these are the breaks
[03:22.00]These are the times, level number 9
[03:23.84]Look up in the sky, 10 is on the way
[03:25.70]Sentence on the way, killings on the way

[03:49.90]And I just wanted to remind the audience
[03:52.73]That the only thing more frightening
[03:54.13]Than watching a black man be honest in america
[03:57.87]Is being an honest black man in america
