[Verse 1] I’m chasing my blessings and making it work, I was made from the dirt Birth is amazing you live then lay under earth I took the mud and I made it my worth Expanded to a mansion in the mind it’ll soon comes into the universe It’s worse, American made making it through this masquerade Being Black today is Cassius Clay wit a path to pave So you can run, shoot or Catch the fade & if you mastering A it’s best you never come back this way Just evacuate, pack it up, cast away I'm from the K the roots deeper than the blackest slave It’s in the blood you can track the trace Traumatic, Imagine, evеrything was practiced in a passive way Let Thе Dolla circulate I grew up where that beef get ate, Jordan Jammed & cats percolate Regurgitate all ya laws & your teachings The war is everlasting no one ever gets even (I promise it) [Hook] My daughter asked me was I coming home before I left for her I never break promises They saying serve & protect but all they do is harass & arrest & break promises They wanna lock my body, they tell us that they gon give then take they break promises They wanna take my soul and see me off in a hole I can’t honor it [Verse 2] Twas a cold night before the heartbreak, calls & heartaches Shots rang out made his whole block shake Rainstorms , shooter running through puddles cuz he ain’t goin His co-d was caught but everything seemed foreign He knew the code, police rolled, point it & blew a load One was apprehended but other shooter drove, & fled Clothes is red putting foes to bed The bullhorn explodes now the “white shirt” is red & furious Shooter at large armed & dangerous Sirens is goin, every car alarm is banging —Out its mind The shooter played a chick for a alibi But little did he know was how them ppl would strategize Guns cocked - & then the footsteps & loud knocks Shorty was up getting ready for work to them loud pops (BANG) The cops shot & saw a gun when they rushed But all the shorty had was a black hair brush, WTF?!?!! [Hook] My daughter asked me was I coming home before I left for her I never break promises They saying serve & protect but all they do is harass & arrest & break promises They wanna lock my body, they tell us that they gon give then take they break promises They wanna take my soul and see me off in a hole I can’t honor it
