00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:03.900
How I keep from goin' under?
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:06.600
It's like a jungle outside
00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:09.000
Sometimes I wonder how I
keep from goin' under
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.300
We scream, "Black Lives Matter,
" but we still toting ladders
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:15.300
Watching our own brothers
trying to get at us
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:17.800
Dreams get shattered when
a scene full of crackers
00:00:17.900 --> 00:00:19.600
And they charge you with
some shit you ain't do
00:00:19.700 --> 00:00:20.400
You like, "what happened?"
00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:22.600
We go get lawyers to say shit,
we don't know how to talk
00:00:22.700 --> 00:00:25.200
They told us to hate each other
before we learn how to walk
00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:28.100
Mama taught you how to fight,
fight, before she taught
you how to write, right
00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:30.650
And daddy locked down in the cell,
can't kiss you night, night
00:00:30.700 --> 00:00:33.200
Monsters under the bed every night,
feel like it's fright night
00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:35.600
Coke fumes in the air, mama
holding on that pipe tight
00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:37.500
And you catchin' contact,
but never mind that
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.100
In a world where Black is wrong and
white right, it's like a combat
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.600
We go to war for our freedom,
they say we equal
00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:45.200
I used to wanna play like
Randall and be an Eagle
00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:48.000
I used to play the quarterback,
my dog would go receiver
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:51.100
That was 'til the ball got flat by
a dope needle on the pavement
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.700
It's amazin', this environment
we was raised in
00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:56.200
On them papers, one mistake
and I'm gettin' caged in
00:00:56.300 --> 00:00:58.500
You gotta feel me, feel like
the system tryna kill me
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.300
Got arrested and the charges F1 for
popping wheelies, stay woke
00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:03.700
It was designed for us to fail
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.100
We still prevail through the hell
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.900
Yeah, can you believe it?
We're still undefeated
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.500
Though it was designed for us to lose
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:19.500
We'll still make it through,
nothing's impossible
00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:21.200
Can you believe it? We're
still undefeated
00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:24.100
Picture me ten years younger
with some tats on my face
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:26.600
Takin' a bunch of Xannys with
the strap on my waist
00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:29.200
Pointin' it at the camera like
mama ain't teach me manners
00:01:29.300 --> 00:01:32.000
Tryna see mo' bills like I'm
headed to Alabama, no, wait
00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:34.100
I can't judge them, I'm just
trying to understand them
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.800
'Cause I used to pop Percs,
pourin' purple in my Fanta
00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:39.300
Had me swerving in my Phantom like
I'm runnin' from my dreams
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.900
I was headed for the slammer,
I was plantin' all the seed
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.900
For them to bury me, I had
my whole family mad at me
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.300
Fell deep in love with the
game and it married me
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.000
Judge said, "I'll give you a chance,
just don't embarrass me"
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:52.400
Motivatin' these little niggas
is like a charity
00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:54.500
Community service even though
they knew we was workin'
00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:57.000
They did this to me on purpose, 'cause
I ain't movin' too perfect
00:01:57.100 --> 00:01:59.500
I stay away from them clowns, watch
how I move through the circus
00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:02.500
'Cause they be weighing you down,
even some of them dudes
in your circle, stay woke
00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:05.600
Though it's designed for
us to fail, yeah
00:02:05.700 --> 00:02:09.000
We still prevail through
the hell, yeah
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.100
Can you believe it? We're
still undefeated
00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:15.400
Though it was designed for us to lose
00:02:15.500 --> 00:02:20.500
Nothing, nothing, nothing's
impossible, no
00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:23.500
Can you believe it? We're
still undefeated
00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:25.600
How can I pledge allegiance
to the flag
00:02:25.700 --> 00:02:27.500
When they killin' all o...........
