USA
I was never offered a thing
You gotta take it if you really wanna challenge a king
They seen me at my worst and laughed but now I'm doing my thing
Now I'm doing my thing
From the jungle I came
Bloody terrain
All I heard was gang gang
Where people point blame as soon as they can't hang
Ten years ago everybody just snatched chains
Now your chain hang low with shots fired from close range
The whole system fucked up
Got us all locked
Got me saying fuck cops
Knowing it aint all Cops
Im like
How the fuck else should I be
When theres a lot of apples band together by a tree
I don't know how else to be as if theres something more to see
The good in the hood ain't even rated for TV
I said the good in the hood ain't even rated for TV
If you knew better you'd do better I heard
But people still die while cops stay on the purge
Moms cry knowing that justice wasn't served
Black lives matter
Now all lives diverge
I can't stress enough how much it hurts
I can't think of anything thats worse
Put another person on a shirt
Carrying a group into the church
Blood on the floor
I think I see enough
In this United States I wonder who's uniting US
I said in this United States I wonder who's Uniting US
I grew up with these guns in my face
Ilegal weapons handed down to a race
It proved militant
Before I could even speak was stripping me of innocence
Filling me with ignorance
Telling me to live you ganging or kill an innocent
That just made em numb
When I proved to be so insolent
Its evident Im different
Shots fired when asked for
Give a fuck if Im asked to in one second bullet words can turn into tattoos
Young girls on the block with men ready to snatch you
Your age is what they never would ask you
I said your age is what they never would ask you
If you knew better you'd do better I heard
But people still die while cops stay on the purge
Moms cry knowing that justice wasn't served
Black lives matter
Now all lives diverge
I can't stress enough how much it hurts
I can't think of anything thats worse
Put another person on a shirt
Carrying a group into the church
Blood on the floor
I think I see enough
In this United States I wonder who's uniting US
I said in this United States I wonder who's Uniting US
You gotta take it if you really wanna challenge a king
They seen me at my worst and laughed but now I'm doing my thing
