On My Mind
Look
Woke up this morning decided to hit the block still
Still seeing my people moving them rocks still
Still seeing my people dodging the cops still
Still seeing some children without they pops
It's making me sick
To see the death of my community
Hating this shit
All we need is a little unity
To change the hood back for good we need to rise up
But it's hard to wake up when we only keep our eyes shut
I'm in a space where I'm trying to heal
But In the hood it's some niggas that dying to kill
The crazy part is they'll tell you they keeping it real
Hundreds of years later and we still play in the field
You feel me
The way we living y'all it just ain't right
I'm here to tell y'all that this ain't life
But hey, we seem to think that God is blessing all the trap niggas
But fail to realize that we really in a trap
I woke up this Morning
I had a whole lot on my mind
I woke up this Morning
I had a whole lot on my mind
Tryna open yo mind to shit you might never see
Cuz you never open yo blinds to see wassup in these streets
Ain't been around all my rounds the way that I used to be
Friends passing with the time so the circle feel incomplete
Remember I used to grind in the same fit for some weeks
Cuz all we big up is hustlers or you gotta be a G
Naturally you go like they would go soon as you get a piece
This shit is unhealthy how is yo goal yellow teeth
We all about whips, chains and hand selecting cotton that we dressed in
Modern day slaves nonetheless damn
If you only knew all the shit they be hiding
Put it right in yo face to condition yo mind and
Paint a image around it not to waste yo time with
When all you used to darkness the light could be blinding
I got it down to a science
From tablets to shit today they mislead yo alliance
Wake and bake off gorilla glue you see where my mind went
I woke up this Morning
I had a whole lot on my mind
I woke up this Morning
I had a whole lot on my mind
Look
Cuz every night somebody dying in my city
When it rains I feel like God be crying for my city
Lord, I know that I have sinned but I'm just praying that this struggle will end
I'm just praying for them
Pray that some prayers could get answered
Praying that one day you'll rid us of cancer
I'm praying for that boy that got killed with his hands up
Man why the whole world ain't never listen to "Answers"
Brother we want answers
I'm there for my city
Im here for the youth
I'll bury the liar and stand on truth
Im there for brothers
My brothers in Life and my brother by Love
Can't forget my brothers in blood and my brothers above
All my brothers resting in peace
But why we can't have no peace in these streets
Why I feel I need to stay with the heat
Why they so hungry they don't care what they eat
Why do they leave my brother dead in the street
Lord I just wanna know why
Said I just wanna know why
I had all this on my mind
Woke up this morning decided to hit the block still
Still seeing my people moving them rocks still
Still seeing my people dodging the cops still
Still seeing some children without they pops
It's making me sick
To see the death of my community
Hating this shit
All we need is a little unity
To change the hood back for good we need to rise up
But it's hard to wake up when we only keep our eyes shut
