Won't be gettin' sleep tonight and I'm cryin' as I write this
Prayin' for my brother locked up, fighting fires
My heart goes out to all the daughters
Missin' all God and fathers, never seen they loved ones
'Cause they're prisoners fighting fires
And I might be biased, but I feel God standin' by us
And the prisoners fighting fires, oh-oh, yeah-yeah
And I might be biased, but my soul
Needs you Lord, oh God please come take control
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
What if I start off the track, hum the beginnin'
Mutter the middle part, and mumble the endin'?
It just feels better in my humble opinion
Much more n-words, but humble beginnings
When I act like the n-word, somebody get injured
That's why we stay in court and go to the pen for it
Before I forget, let me go get a pen for it
Cancel culture, before I get censored
All I really meant for is you to get mentored
Before we get sentenced, before we get sent for it
Remember this sentence, remember repentance
Only God can judge me, GDs and [?] lords
Over in Thanville, Stateville, Taylorville, Lanyard
Jacksonville, Pontiac, Pinckeyville
We mass targeted, mass marketed, mass incarceration
Massive police stations, mass incorporated, fuck Adidas
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
I know, I know, ah-ah, oh-no-no-no-no-no-ooh
Yeah
The struggle is real, gotta face it
My freedom so close I can taste it
Make money, got bills, so I chase it
But stay on my deen, 'cause without it I'm faithless
They promise they with you, they lies
They just want what you got, and they try
All alone with nobody beside
You sit there and cry, just wishin' you die
Know this life is a test, tryna pass it
With my face on the ground in the masses
You got questions, so you better ask 'em
'Cause time wait for no one, it comes and it passes
Under pressure, attack on me daily
Love my momma, she tried, couldn't save me
Gave me tool to survive through this crazy
For nothing but God, and be good to your lady
Weigh optimism no one understands
He's been destined and God got a plan
One thing I know, he made me a man
He gave me two legs on the ground on the stand
To my wifey, baby, you so fine
Proud to say to the world, "Yeah, you mine"
Used to buy me through all the hard times
You pushed the line, you pushed the line
I, I can feel you light up on me
Keep shinin' your light up on me
Shine your light, just shine up on me
I can feel your light, oh-woah
