I put my keys in the ignition
As I speed off in the distance
In my bag I'm reminiscing
I just pray somebody listen
It's not set up for us
It's a set up for us
That's not a metaphor
Shackled to the ground they won't let us soar
I done seen the best niggas lose to the worst situation
I've been harassed by cops my whole life cause of discrimination
Judge did our people filthy you still want some litigation
Twenty two years I never thought I'd see it's a celebration
Walked in the building giving hugs and kisses to everyone who made it
You know the love is sacred
I hit this blunt get faded
If you want it come take it
That's til the death of me
Nothing left of me
What they expect from me
I came from the bottom where you can die in the cruelest way
Killers on the block upping shots turn to ricochet
Innocent bodies drop then rot somebody gets away
Not every hero wears a cape somebody come and save the day
I just pray somebody listen
It's not set up for us
It's a set up for us
Not every hero wears a cape somebody come and save the day
You know the love is sacred I hit this blunt get faded
I just pray somebody listen
It's not set up for us
It's a set up for us
Not every hero wears a cape somebody come and save the day
You know the love is sacred I hit this blunt get faded
Lifestyles of the young and the reckless left a stain on the dash
Robbing for cash
Tryna throw the drugs in the trash
As I made my great escape from the cops
Disappear off the grid while we shake up the block
The power moves often used by the smoothest operators in the game
But the price that's often paid come from pain
Stemming off all the systematic holes that we face
In the land of the free but that ain't include me
So now I'm on my bully hustling every day
Got a family to feed and my people I gotta save
So in truth I was born into this world full of burdens I was inherited
Fighting off the heritics cause lord knows I'm heaven sent
And demons on the prowl trying to take away the time I spent
On getting blueprints so the future can thrive
Get a feel for real freedom where their families won't cry
And the kids won't have to be traumatized
In the system that we facing man them people always hating on the skin that made us proud
In the system that we facing man they hating on our crowns that will never fall down
In the system that we facing man them people always hating on the skin that made us proud
In the system that we facing man they hating on our crowns that will never fall down
