Suicidal

I'd be afraid to say I'm suicidal
Yeah even in thought though I never did try it
Some things I'd rather just keep to myself
Cause if I dismiss it then no one can tell

Don't call nobody up for me I'm good
Just leading my people up out of the woods
Cause somebody gotta do it
So who gonna face the music

And I'd be afraid to say I'm suicidal
Yeah even in thought though I never did try it
Some things I'd rather just keep to myself
Cause if I dismiss it then no one can tell

And don't call nobody up for me I'm good
Just leading my people up out of the woods
Cause somebody gotta do it
So who gonna face the truth then

Black people treat everything like a joke
Ironically that's why we suffer the most
We had to be strong since we got off the boats
And now all the damage is bottled emotion
And now we can't even emote
Only to say we want smoke
Ironically given the circumstances
It seem like we only choose us to be toked
Ay
The old generation was cowardly under pretenses of being in power
Funny how power just mean keep it quiet
Unless you be dying and do nothing bout it
That isn't bravery
That is just slaving and shame while your people just suffer in silence
Passing the pain through your family genes
But then having the nerve to play stupid about it

And I'd be afraid to say I'm suicidal
Yeah even in thought though I never did try it
Some things I'd rather just keep to myself
Cause if I dismiss it then no one can tell

And don't call nobody up for me I'm good
Just leading my people up out of the woods
Cause somebody gotta do it
So who gonna face the music
Ay

And I'd be afraid to say I'm suicidal
Yeah even in thought though I never did try it
Some things I'd rather just keep to myself
Cause if I dismiss it then no one can tell

And don't call nobody up for me I'm good
Just leading my people up out of the woods
Cause somebody gotta do it
So who gonna face the truth then

And white people hide in denial and be ghosts
Ironically needing resources the most
Escaping, Vacations, while children are home
Then Johnny get angry
Put chrome to a dome
Cause Johnny be feeling alone
Yeah
Parents avoid him with items and clothes
While acting like that will fulfill all they roles
And I was just jealous from viewing provisions
Ay
Yeah
Look
Word
Hanging with all my white homies
And it was like visiting other dimensions, yeah
Mansions and pools in cribs
And sometimes a court to go out and play tennis
All of that money and privilege
How in the hell could you still be depressed
Cause money is everything
That's incorrect

And I'd be afraid to say I'm suicidal
Yeah even in thought though I never did try it
Some things I'd rather just keep to myself
Cause if I dismiss it then no one can tell

And don't call nobody up for me I'm good
Just leading my people up out of the woods
Cause somebody gotta do it
So who gonna face the music
Ay

Yeah I'd be afraid to say I'm suicidal
Yeah even in thought though I never did try it
Some things I'd rather just keep to myself
Cause if I dismiss it then no one can tell

And don't call nobody up for me I'm good
Just leading my people up out of the woods
Cause somebody gotta do it
So who gonna face the truth then
Who gonna face the truth then
Cause somebody gotta do it

I'm good
