Dont stop
Dont quit
Never give in
Please dont forfeit
U r the key 2 victory
Know this
I know it's a Longshot
But we wont miss
Dont wait
Dont pause
Yeah u might bleed
Or die 4 the cause
We are the ones
We've been fighting 4
Aint nobody free
If some are ignored
So, let's keep
Keep forward
Coming together as one
Rich + poor
Black + white
No one down on the floor
Busting through ceilings
Yeah the writing's on the wall
How they really
Feel about us so i'm saying
You believe in God
Then please keep praying
If you dont
I'll ride with yal too
Lemme just say
Here's what we all should do
Keep Fighting
Keep Fighting
Keep Fighting
Keep Fighting
Keep Fighting
Keep Fighting
Keep Fighting
Keep Fighting
I done lost so much
And gave away more
Life dont suck
It sucks being poor
Got my game face on
When I walk through the door
We have 2 make more
We have 2 make more
Like Stevie masturbating
Man, they'll never
See me coming
We be pumping
What they wanting
Man them other suckas frontin but
Never mind them
Bet you'll find them
Way behind
In the line of rhyme men
Gotta stay focused
Like camera lenses
Keep ya eyes open
4 the crabs in business
Aint nothing like
Hustling ya own 2 get this
To get this
Man u have 2 switch shifts
That means yo style
Skip yo town
Take it 2 the people
Let em greet u with a pound
And a smile
And some herb
Here's a word 4 the crowd
Go Go Go
Go wild
Keep Fighting
Keep Fighting
Keep Fighting
Keep Fighting
Keep Fighting

Im hearing voices in my mind
Telling me to grab the 9
Run up on him quick
And put it to his spine
Im out here struggling
Trying to get myself a plate
Barely eating out of state
Homey grab me an 1/8
Trying to escape
Feeling lost in this hell
Can you relate to getting
Tossed in a cell
Without a dime
A lot of times
We turn to crime
Feeling desperate and broke
When all we need
Is a lot less stress
And some hope
So where's the peace
And can I get me a slice
You aint never been successful
Wanna give me advice
No looking back
Im cooking raps on the couch
Feeling down
Cuz I know i'm better
Than 1/2 that's out
Getting heard
I'm giving words
For a couple of reasons
1st the therapy it provides
My mind when the seasons
Fluctuate
Plus you ate it
When I fed ya open mouths
Me joke around
I never do
Slow that down
I told you pal
We not a town
It's the city
Go Ill
Flow filled the void
Them boys is road kill
Hold still with that hate homey
Pause that doubt
Lemme show you
What I'm talking about
I show and prove
Knowing dues gotta be paid
I humbly grind
Thanking God for beautiful souls
On this ugly climb
I know the beast wont cease
Straight devouring the streets
But still
I gotta ask yal
Where's the peace
Where's the peace
I wanna see it in the sky
Where's the peace
Go 'head
Put it in the sky
Tell me where it is
The love
We all want peace and love
Tell me
Now tell me what it look like
When we're locked up again
Locked up again
Prison, parole, pen
Sending men to their death
I wish it would all end
But brothers in hell
Wish for ice water and gin
Spend the 1st lil cash we get
On spinning rims
That's reflective of a life
We running in place with
Chasing incarceration
With a knife like Jason
Pretend like this justice system
Aint racist
I was stopped
For going "blrrrrt" to a cop
I was clean but got locked
Cuz the copper was hot
Said he was at a traffic stop
And I disrupted the scene
But I know he messed with me
Cuz I was a young
B-R-O-W-N
They trouble you man
And make it real tough
For you to hug with ya kin
Cuz they like that
When they control
A brother's liberty
They break that same brother down
Physically and mentally
Now
I aint saying I aint in control
Of my own
Cuz I know, I know
I know I gotta act grown
And not give 'em the chance
To lock and throw away the key
Cuz freedom aint free
It costs a pretty penny g
Tell me where it is
The love
We all want peace and love
Tell me
Where's the peace
I wanna see it in the sky
Where's the peace
Go 'head
Put it in the sky

Whole hearter
Deep green sparker
Peanut buttered colored
My mother
She made me smarter
Mama gave me game
To gain + go farther
Now we getting down
With sounds
We go harder
No martyr
We living like a starter
89 Raider
Eating around starvers
Never had a father bother
So we barter
Daily with the lord
Rapport resemble carver
Sharpen up
My heart dark enough
I'm trying 2 lesson the load
With flows + a cut
For the fam + and fans
We spread love
Get it popping
Aint no stopping
We dropping an anthem
That'll get u in the mood
To move ya damn bum
Yeah shake it, shake it
Round + round
And have fun
Aint nobody promised tomorrow
We got today
Eh, I'm glad i've found my way
Where you going

Trying 2 get em 2 smile

For a while
Stuck in the house
Like punishment 4 a child
Feel like
Population control
Is going down
Feel like
Occupation control
No shows around
But they caint keep us down
No matter how many rounds
The cops pump in us
They never finna end us
Cuz love make the world go round
Just like the spinners
Eh, tell me
Who really defend us
Against the killers
When they label
All us sinners
And motivated 2 send us
To the critters
And the crawlers
We're brawlers
Mauling with pens
Tell a friend
That we at it again
At it again yeah

To win

With the effort
Live 4ever
And never calling it quits

The onus is gonna lift

Who can i trust
Just 2 love me
Cuz i'm Chad
Iont feel safe in America
But that dont mean i'm scared
I'm just really apprehensive
Bout how yal get so defensive
When we're talking
About equality
And freedom
Not 2 mention
Respect 4 the black womxn
Yal wont seem 2 give
When she birthed all of us
That means
All of us her kids
And speaking of the future
Man the shorties
Feel it worse
When she grow up
Without her dad
Dog believe it hurts
So who can we trust
In this love forsaken land
Where cops kill u
But they'll never take the stand
But expect us 2 stand
And salute a damn flag
That dont respect the live
Of a black child or man
Man your privilege's so thick
Dog ur gaining weight
U should work it out
With a conversation
Bout ya hate
Too late
They rushing up the capitol steps
Screaming "in Trump we trust"
Leaving all of us bereft
Tell me
Who can I trust
Who can I trust
When they keep them safe
But they not protecting us
Tell me
Who can i trust
Who can i trust
Living in world
Where they kill us
If we fuss
Who can I trust in this world
Who can I trust in a world
That hates me
Who can I trust
As a woman in this world
A black one at that
Ever since a little girl
I was told 2 act
Much lighter than my shade
But only by the haters
Cuz they thought
I never paid
Attention 2 lynchings
Not told by history
I get how they named them laws
Because the mr. mean
Looking at the past
I can see ur real feelings
The chillun mammy cared 4
Doing all the killing so
Who can I trust
When I'm hated by so many
My is angelic
They jealous greedy + envy
Lock us up
Made us build a box 4 us
We built everything
Everything is not 4 us
Good black dont crack
But gets in good trouble
Cuz we'll show up + bust
Like spit bubbles
You'll show up
Wide eyed + teeth grinning
And push in the river of fire
Then we swimming
Wait
Yal mad?
Yal mad cuz we question
Living in 2 americas?
Who can I trust
In a land where i'm not allowed
To jog
I caint bird watch
I caint sit in my car
I caint sleep in my own bed peacefully
Without the fear
Of being murdered
In cold blood
Unjustly
Who can I trust
Who can I trust
When they keep them safe
But they not protecting us
Tell me
Who can i trust
Who can i trust
Living in world
Where they kill us
If we fuss
Who can I trust in this world
Who can I trust in a world
That hates me

Healing Is Hard
Verse 1
when I cry/I dont shed tears/I shed the skin that I used 2 be in/I used 2 be a whole different type
of human being/but i was tired of being/lessor versions of myself/& I had such a beautiful time with
my ego/the death was very necessary/yeah/i had 2 find help/but when doing soul searching/all i
found were excuses/saying 2 myself that i'm fine/lying/i knew i really wasnt/please dont ask/i'm making
art with these songs/then i wear em as a mask/bear a flask like a pistol/taking shots 2 the skull/got the
knife 2 my neck/but the blade's hella dull/lucky me/look at me/depressed as I can be/trying 2 find
the light/that I know's inside of me
Chorus
dont be afraid/yeah healing is hard/dont be ashamed/yeah, yeah healing is hard/be kind
to yourself/because healing is hard/be kind to yourself/because healing is hard/dont be
afraid.../dont be ashamed.../be kind to yourself because healing is hard/be kind to yourself because
healing is hard
Verse
when i'm feeling hella down/hope the sound picks me up/you see the sounds pick me up like a
crane from the rubbish/i've learned/we'll never escape the pain/if we dont change/the monster
we've becometh/as I plummet 2 the bottom/grasping desperate for the thread/that has kept me
from completely/water over head/prayers for the dead/power 2 the people/we're all going through
it/but dont let your demons beat you/but instead bear and grin it/invite em all 2 the brawl/& fight the
feeling of defeat/trust you're taller than the fall/i'm with you all/every step/every breath/every ball of
the fist/keep em pissed/cuz we're sitting on a lawn/because laws that were drawn/2 keep us lower
than a pawn/I know it's heavy how they pile the pressure on/but you're strong/so dont ever/doubt
yourself at all/you're a queen/you're a king/& this world belongs to yal
Chorus
dont be afraid/yeah healing is hard/dont be ashamed/yeah, yeah healing is hard/be kind
to yourself/because healing is hard/be kind to yourself/because healing is hard/dont be
afraid.../dont be ashamed.../be kind to yourself because healing is hard/be kind to yourself because
healing is hard/dont be afraid
