[Verse] The way it’s looking this could be my last track Police got us ducking like it’s Aflac The U.S. looking like it’s Baghdad They trying to turn my name into a hash tag But I won’t let em do it to me though I got the hammer with me like I’m Julio Like I’m Jesus or I’m Jose, I ain’t going out no way Hoodie on R.I.P. Tray, tomorrow ain’t promised these days Should I put my hands up or shoot? They gonna pull the trigger either way Reach for my wallet I’m popped, damn Tried to comply and got shot They gonna forget about me in a month or 2 And watch he gonna be back on the job, right? With no suspension, no consequences Politicians out politicking And I be trying to be optimistic But the pigs keep popping niggas Don’t know what’s going on I’m barely holding on I’m trying to catch me a break While they catching Pokemons Goddamn goddamn 5, paranoid I can’t lie And I be trying to reach for the stars But the white man got my hands tied Mad cause my dick man-size, and all my girls got tan lines They pulled me over again I’ll let you have her if you let me live Didn’t resist but you tell me I did Flashing your badge and you pointing your gun Threaten to kill me in front of my son All this for a tail light sir? He itching to give me a flat line Cause his wife probably left his ass for a black guy [Hook] Black Guy, Black Guy Black Guy, Black Guy I been trying to stay strong but It’s hard out here for the black guy Mama shedding tears for the black guy Give 100 years to the black guy All I did was be a black guy Tell me why they wanna kill the black guy Black Guy, Black Guy Black Guy, Black Guy I been trying to stay strong but It’s hard out here for the black guy Mama shedding tears for the black guy Give 100 years to the black guy All I did was be a black guy Tell me why they wanna kill the black guy [Verse 2] Cause you make em scared when you black and rich I been feeling like I’m Kaepernick I’m taking a break from this rapping shit And I’m turning into an activist I’m cool calm but I’m hazardous Gotta keep the 40 under mattresses And they say we hoodlums and savages I can really show you what a savage is You kill a man for no reason I will not pledge your allegiance You want to give me a sentence So long that I can’t even live it Got me devastated and I’m livid Cause they choke you out til you can’t breathe Police shooting at you they don’t say freeze B***h caught a body and got paid leave Lord protect me from these demons Excuse my language I been drinking Excuse my language I been seeking Revenge while I’m sleeping Matter fact, matter fact I been thinking I been thinking They itching to give me a flat line Cause back in the day he probably Got his ass beat by a black guy [Hook] Black Guy, Black Guy Black Guy, Black Guy I been trying to stay strong but It’s hard out here for the black guy Mama shedding tears for the black guy Give 100 years to the black guy All I did was be a black guy Tell me why they wanna kill the black guy Black Guy, Black Guy Black Guy, Black Guy I been trying to stay strong but It’s hard out here for the black guy Mama shedding tears for the black guy Give 100 years to the black guy All I did was be a black guy Tell me why they wanna kill the black guy
