Look we take high stakes Hikes up the mountain of success And Cross lakes It's rare for make a nigga to make it out Of this place rare like a steak I'm Rare in traffic to the jakes Quick to pull me over for simplest mistake Even though I'm nervous I don't flinch Cuz he'll never hesitate Quick to empty the clips if I don't cooperate They'll kill every black man If they keep it at this rate Wait wait wait wait... Gun shots Damn am I live still I see my stomach bleeding But I don't feel... no pain Last I thing that could register Me driving in the lane Damn I can't believe I'm never gonna see me my momma again Cuz the law was trigger happy I heard 90 percent Communication non verbal So I know you understand me My hands was on the wheels I never had it on me You don't value the fact That a nigga got family And a future ahead I was doing 9-5 just to get me some bread Is when I met a gun They won't even let me get my hand on the That's why they keep us in traps And throw us in slums A black man in America I'm just a black man in America... Oh La La la Keep your hands in the air if you're seeing law Oh La La la Keep your hands in the air if you're tryna survive Oh La La la Inside of the barrel is the scariest sights Oh La La la I know they got a strategy Keep us mentally slaves Systematic ideology That's why a doctor overseas A man with degrees In America drives a taxi Let it sink in I wish the slave ships would've sunken That way we wouldn't be in this position I know its fucked up How we end up slaves from kings Is bad luck? Or is it karma Cuz even at wars we wore love as our armour In seven hundred elven Ad The moors were in charge of The Iberian peninsula modern day Georgia From the kingdom of Mali king Mensa Musa Richest man to exist and he never had jeweller This the black excellence I'm tryna introduce to ya But they only highlight our Achilles heels They want us killing each other instead siding together Cuz that's what really heels The soul and the mind Lets put our egos aside Let our powers collide Stand together inline Black man will run America Oh La La la Keep your hands in the air if you're seeing law Oh La La la Keep your hands in the air if you're tryna survive Oh La La la Inside of the barrel is the scariest sights Oh La La la
