I always been the type of nigga to chill Never worried 'bout a dollar bill, seeking the thrill I don't fuck with the pills and I don't fuck with the cops Give me one good reason I should trust they ass Niggas dying every day, ain't no shit gon' change Welcome to the modern days where we Idolize fame Something like hunger games the way we killing each other And it's kill or be killed so I'm shooting my nigga And after you rest in peace well I'm shooting my ears Then you got both corpses laying down on the floor Then the white man comes and takes both our wallets Looking at us like "damn man, these niggas is wilding" I guess that's two less votes against my party Make it to the top then buy myself a brand-new Ferrari I mean it's not like we haven't found them in a safari All we did is kill their heritage and rewrite their story It's like a bad dream inside of my head I wish I could talk to my brother, but my brother's dead So what do I do now? Should I shoot up the place? Man they treat me like a slave, put my mind in a cage Then they got the nerves to ask: why the black man rage? First ask yo' old lady why she's looking afraid? Maybe cuz the fro, maybe cuz of the braids Or maybe cuz she wishes I was under the chains All the respect you deserve you gotta earn Or learn the hard way that the fire might burn If life's a curse then I guess that being hurt Is part of the process like when the wheels hit the curve To keep pushing forward it takes some nerve And watch out who you fucking with you better stay alert Especially on someone else's turf Cuz they'll bleed you like a beast and use your skin as a fur Then you got witnesses pleading the fifth While the victim's family crying on their knees and shit And story repeat itself Who the fuck do you call when the police break the law? System built with intentional flaws And apparently there's no man on top of the law? Yo who the fuck you think you kidding bro? This is Astred We see everything, third eye open my nigga It's like a bad dream inside of my heart I wish I could talk to my ex, but she broke us part So what do I do now? Should I be blaming myself? Cuz my old self wasn't able to recognize wealth And they got the nerve to ask: Why I'm looking so sad Cuz I can't put on a mask when in front of a glass Maybe cuz the truth, maybe cuz of my past Or maybe cuz I failed trying getting her back She use to be my ride or die, Bonnie and Clyde She even got me into hip-hop, me and you to the top I guess that's what we thought, that was before breaking your heart The day you left me it truly felt like the holocaust Kind of lost back then, I wanted to be a cop Imagine me wearing blue shooting at my people But now Im more into blues and spiritual seeking And for your info: please know I never cheated Sorry for my lack of words when it got heated Sorry for my selfishness when it comes to my penis You kept on sending me sings, but man I couldn't see them A real angel, Katrina was more than I needed But then you left me so you could fight your own demons
