Born into a world
Where we're dying to be free
But we're living underneath their supremacy
Yeah, yeah, yeah
See I was raised in the west
Where we stay stressed
Where they lie if they have to
To make an arrest
'Cause we living in the shadow of the suburbs
While the price of this house is going upwards
I don't understand how
The poor get robbed by the rich
And they calling it a handout
And it's evident
The neighborhood fucked up
Got us sending letters to the president
Tell me, can you hear us?
Through the sounds of the sirens
And you wonder why the streets getting violent
Another mother shed tears at the cemetery
Burying a first born child (damn)
I've been watching through the years
Got my nerves firing, waking up
Screaming where we live in a cold sweat
Segregated, they consider us a known threat
So we hopeless, ay
Born into a world
Where we're dying to be free
(I just wanna be free, let's go)
But we're living underneath their supremacy
(Looking out from, we aren't out from their supremacy)
One day you'll see us
But until then we'll all see
Before their rupture
(Ain't no more waiting)
They trying to relegate my DNA
Break it down into something easy they can hate
They afraid of the outcome
'Cause the race that they call human
Keep evolving and they know they will get outrun
(That's why, huh?)
Still behind on the times, yeah
Protest culture on strike like lightning
Losing hold on control, so we rising
Put the muscle on, but we won't stay silent
Born into a world
Where we're dying to be free
(I just wanna be free, let's go)
But we're living underneath their supremacy
(Underneath, under their supremacy)
One day you'll see us
But until then we'll all see
Before their rupture (what you waiting for)
(Go and get it)
When tide turns into history
The story that we tell, repeats
When we were marching for our lives
You stood on the other side
When tide turns into history
The story that we tell, repeats
When we were marching for our lives
You stood on the other side
When tide turns into history
The story that we tell, repeats
When we were marching for our lives
You stood on the other side
