Treason
Nikki wants that flag down
Shit is real cute, yo
Welcome to the hard-knocks
Man, we can't even sco'
On that brown hardwood
Where my people thrive, jo
We just want to be free
Cole World told you so
On a Dreamville tip
I'm dreamin' 'bout the end of this
Stuck in oppression that they use like a weapon
Forty-five if you will
When they shoot, they want to kill
Do you see the blood spilled
Everyday a life is took
Taken that quick
Close the chapter to the script
We never get the book
Damn, that got me shook
I'm only twenty-four
Shot clock on my life
We shootin' for the right
Just the right to live life
With the nine people killed
I can feel the ill will
Ill will intent
My family a resident
Reside on the side thirty minutes from demise
The thought is scary
When the seventeenth of June is Halloween ready
Treason in season
Oh, what a reason
Slavery saved
The truth conveyed
Treason in season
Oh, what a reason
Slavery saved
The truth conveyed
What if that was them
I'd seek revenge
A black militant
Don't you see our strength
Our strength by the numbers
But this shit gotta end
The losing of our brothers
Sisters be the queens
Strongest human beings
The wealth of our soil
That Black crude oil
History is deep
We never knew defeat
We only rise above
Our struggles bring love
Within we forgive
That shit got me sick
We keep taken lashes
We're free, but were slaves
Entendre is doubled
Oh, what a phrase
How can someone kill
Unarmed at that
A church of all places
What the fuck is that
Religion has been taught
Learn what is fact
Hide from the fiction
Lies on attack
We missed the concept
The season is open
Just because we're black
Shit's a fact
Shit is real cute, yo
Welcome to the hard-knocks
Man, we can't even sco'
On that brown hardwood
Where my people thrive, jo
We just want to be free
Cole World told you so

I'm dreamin' 'bout the end of this
Stuck in oppression that they use like a weapon
Forty-five if you will
