Save
Save us
I fear
We're weak
I'm in this world on my own, mama
I know you warned me that this world could be so cold, mama
'Cause in our homes it ain't safe to drink our own water
They told me put my hands up, but I don't wanna, no
I can't help, but feel weak
But we gotta be stronger
Gotta keep moving forward
From redlining to lines read by these white kids
I was fed Ramen, now rhyming off the noodle's my sphere
And said "guidance" provided; they stole our ideas
400 dark years? Ahead of our time, turned that to lightyears
Damn, I swear, everything we do is top tier
Like crying before the drop of a rollercoaster, but it's not fair
Dying from the pop of a loaded toaster when you block bred
Might lose my composure when I don't go to what Allah said
Shaytan'll tell you the truth, with a bunch of lies said
They gone only sell us the truth if motives abiding
No matter the choice of poll, in the booth, we still get divided
I had to compromise, can't just cover I like an eyelid
So I did, but saw no change, just a bunch of nonsense
To keep it a hundred, I had to do like, 5 paradigm shifts
But when I saw that fork in the road I went straight
Had to learn from the Jays, Royce da 5'9s and the Nases
I got this, now Samad is here to clear the air from these imposters
It got too toxic. We don't have a care to fear a cop's clip
We like an octave, we above 12
If we combine and protect our lives then, we can help self
We are not defeated, Black Panthers, Tulsa, Rosewood
So many times we've been impeded
Now we got technology and Black Wall Street can be completed
We gonna plant seeds that'll become trees when we deceased
Even if we don't see it
So black babies ain't got a relate to this hook when I sing it
I'm in this world on my own, mama
I know you warned me that this world could be so cold, mama
'Cause in our homes it ain't safe to drink our own water
They told me put my hands up, but I don't wanna, no
I can't help, but feel weak
But we gotta be stronger
Gotta keep moving forward
See, they got it all, but they ask for more
Then we give it all in the ask for more
They say this opportunity is yours
Then turn around and close the door
And it ain't enough that I'm walking a thin line
With brick shoes in a minefield
I could tell you 1 million times, but your empathy can't align
Cause you ain't really from round here
Now from the baddest of the poor to the core of the codefendant
Little children left to reap what we sow with no dependence
Overextending and mortgage is due and there's no mention
Of help and so essential that it's felt in their appendix
That's why when the rules are thrown at these youngins
They dare to bend it
There's no hindrance that can contend with their attention
Cause they're the descendants of strength
See lil babies rich off pain, they ain't trained
Off the rip, we blame them when they offend, though we sin
See, they mad them kids in the city, pity for us? No
They say tough titty when 12 get too litty and
Pull them itchy finger triggers woah
Then goes another kindred soul
This is freedom verse control
This is Pape v. Monroe, I doubt that they'll be reasonable
I don't see them as friend before
I don't see them mentioning all the people that they kill before
Hope these men repent their souls, God reveals and will expose
One things for certain and two things for sure, I know we won't fold
Even though
I'm in this world on my own, mama
I know you warned me that this world could be so cold, mama
'Cause in our homes it ain't safe to drink our own water
They told me put my hands up, but I don't wanna, no
I can't help, but feel weak
But we gotta be stronger
Gotta keep moving forward
Lord save
Save us
I fear
We're weak
Lord save
Save us
I fear
We're weak
