[Intro]
Good evening and thank you for joining us. We're going to get the rising death toll from Coronavirus in just a moment. But there's breaking news tonight in the shocking case of an unarmed African American man who died after being handcuffed and then pinned to the ground by Minneapolis police. Four officers have been fired tonight...
[Verse 1]
Just another day, another shooting
Another pandemic that we're battling, racism is included
It's a battle we're losing, sad but it's the truth
Being black means you will never live comfortable
They'd rather see you in a coffin than see you in a suite
Rather see you in a hearse not inside a BMW
I feel like the world is about to end and it's [?]
Life's shorter than an interlude
I wanna talk to God, somebody arrange the interview
I wanna ask why he put the word fun in the word funeral
Was it on purpose or was it accidental
Cops killing us, so who should I call when I'm in trouble?
I'm feeling trapped in the jungle
Should I use a punch line or use a punch when I'm in a rumble?
Back it up and stumble, freedom of speech
But what's the use when these rappers niggas mumble?
[Chorus]
I get it how I live it, I ain't been afraid of it
You will never get it if you never prayed for it
I done put my niggas on, now we all ballin'
Made it to the top with them niggas that I started with
We gon' make it big, we gon' make it big
Boy, I'm too lit, we gon' make it big
We gon' make it big, we gon' make it big
Boy, I'm too lit, yeah!
I get it how I live it, I ain't been afraid of it
You will never get it if you never prayed for it
I done put my niggas on, now we all ballin'
Made it to the top with them niggas that I started with
We gon' make it big, we gon' make it big
Boy, I'm too lit, we gon' make it big
We gon' make it big, we gon' make it big
Boy, I'm too lit, yeah!
[Verse 2]
How many people we gotta loose
Before you realize that it's darker than it was
I'm just deep in my thoughts
Trying to recover people that I lost like reimburse
Trying to find out the reason why I even go to church
I know it's kinda testing
God sent me to Earth for a temporary visit
So I gotta pay my dues before I get evicted
You know I'm on a mission, I hope you see the vision
The studio a prison
I paint a picture for the people who prefer to listen
No pun being intended, I'm trying to live till infinite
Being black is a crime and I'm just another victim
Corrupt politicians corrupting another system
The world is about to end and it's only the beginning
Don't be afraid, start packing
I really wish you the best in everything you do
Hopefully one day we gon' meet in the life after
[Chorus]
I get it how I live it, I ain't been afraid of it
You will never get it if you never prayed for it
I done put my niggas on, now we all ballin'
Made it to the top with them niggas that I started with
We gon' make it big, we gon' make it big
Boy, I'm too lit, we gon' make it big
We gon' make it big, we gon' make it big
Boy, I'm too lit, yeah!
I get it how I live it, I ain't been afraid of it
You will never get it if you never prayed for it
I done put my niggas on, now we all ballin'
Made it to the top with them niggas that I started with
We gon' make it big, we gon' make it big
Boy, I'm too lit, we gon' make it big
We gon' make it big, we gon' make it big
Boy, I'm too lit, yeah!
