[00:02.40]How I keep from goin' under?
[00:05.40]It's like a jungle outside
[00:06.70]Sometimes I wonder how I keep from goin' under
[00:09.80]We scream, "Black Lives Matter, " but we still toting ladders
[00:13.40]Watching our own brothers trying to get at us
[00:15.40]Dreams get shattered when a scene full of crackers
[00:17.90]And they charge you with some shit you ain't do
[00:19.70]You like, "what happened?"
[00:20.50]We go get lawyers to say shit, we don't know how to talk
[00:22.70]They told us to hate each other before we learn how to walk
[00:25.30]Mama taught you how to fight, fight, before she taught you how to write, right
[00:28.20]And daddy locked down in the cell, can't kiss you night, night
[00:30.70]Monsters under the bed every night, feel like it's fright night
[00:33.30]Coke fumes in the air, mama holding on that pipe tight
[00:35.70]And you catchin' contact, but never mind that
[00:37.60]In a world where Black is wrong and white right, it's like a combat
[00:40.20]We go to war for our freedom, they say we equal
[00:42.70]I used to wanna play like Randall and be an Eagle
[00:45.30]I used to play the quarterback, my dog would go receiver
[00:48.10]That was 'til the ball got flat by a dope needle on the pavement
[00:51.20]It's amazin', this environment we was raised in
[00:53.80]On them papers, one mistake and I'm gettin' caged in
[00:56.30]You gotta feel me, feel like the system tryna kill me
[00:58.60]Got arrested and the charges F1 for popping wheelies, stay woke
[01:01.40]It was designed for us to fail
[01:04.20]We still prevail through the hell
[01:07.20]Yeah, can you believe it? We're still undefeated
[01:11.00]Though it was designed for us to lose
[01:14.60]We'll still make it through, nothing's impossible
[01:19.60]Can you believe it? We're still undefeated
[01:21.30]Picture me ten years younger with some tats on my face
[01:24.20]Takin' a bunch of Xannys with the strap on my waist
[01:26.70]Pointin' it at the camera like mama ain't teach me manners
[01:29.30]Tryna see mo' bills like I'm headed to Alabama, no, wait
[01:32.10]I can't judge them, I'm just trying to understand them
[01:34.20]'Cause I used to pop Percs, pourin' purple in my Fanta
[01:36.90]Had me swerving in my Phantom like I'm runnin' from my dreams
[01:39.40]I was headed for the slammer, I was plantin' all the seed
[01:42.00]For them to bury me, I had my whole family mad at me
[01:45.00]Fell deep in love with the game and it married me
[01:47.40]Judge said, "I'll give you a chance, just don't embarrass me"
[01:50.10]Motivatin' these little niggas is like a charity
[01:52.50]Community service even though they knew we was workin'
[01:54.60]They did this to me on purpose, 'cause I ain't movin' too perfect
[01:57.10]I stay away from them clowns, watch how I move through the circus
[01:59.60]'Cause they be weighing you down, even some of them dudes in your circle, stay woke
[02:02.60]Though it's designed for us to fail, yeah
[02:05.70]We still prevail through the hell, yeah
[02:09.00]Can you believe it? We're still undefeated
[02:12.20]Though it was designed for us to lose
[02:15.50]Nothing, nothing, nothing's impossible, no
[02:20.60]Can you believe it? We're still undefeated
[02:23.60]How can I pledge allegiance to the flag
[02:25.70]When they killin' all our son...........
