I Am
I am what I say I am
A thriving striving young black man
You know that I got a plan
To make it to the promised land
I got Brooklyn in me
So you know that I'm a borough man
And my momma told me
Noah never to outstretch your hands
Work for what you have
And give it up for your family
Don't ever forget your past
And make your own family tree
Keep the grass green when you walk
And stay off the weed
You gonna make it one day
And stay off the streets
Make some real fire one day
Off some cold ass beats
So when you go higher okay
Never forget me
Cuz I am what I make of you
And made you to be
Cuz Noah OD
You the best living version of me
GOD IS LOVE
AND HE THAT DWELLETH IN LOVE
DWELLETH IN GOD
AND GOD IN HIM
I see people in the street
Getting stop by police
Getting shot by police
Locked up by police
Man who now is policing these streets
Who knows
Man who now is policing these beats
It shows
That I keep killin
Where the hell are the children
Gettin orphaned
Cuz a cop became a villain
Gettin high of endorphins
He gets
When he see a young nigga go by
Hand already on the trigger
Yellin reach for the sky
Pockets already gettin bigger
Paid leave no indict
Scene already getting sicker
See the grandmamas cry
And I can see the little sister
Watched her big brother die
I can see the young mama fallin
Yelling god why
See dad with a stern face
Look him in the eye
See the hate
400 years ago
It Come alive
Man what we gotta do in these streets to survive
Take a gun take a knife yelling fuck the 0-5
A thriving striving young black man
You know that I got a plan
To make it to the promised land
I got Brooklyn in me
So you know that I'm a borough man
And my momma told me
Noah never to outstretch your hands
Work for what you have
And give it up for your family
Don't ever forget your past
And make your own family tree
Keep the grass green when you walk
And stay off the weed
You gonna make it one day
And stay off the streets
Make some real fire one day
Off some cold ass beats
So when you go higher okay
Never forget me
Cuz I am what I make of you
And made you to be
Cuz Noah OD
You the best living version of me
GOD IS LOVE
AND HE THAT DWELLETH IN LOVE
DWELLETH IN GOD
AND GOD IN HIM
I see people in the street
Getting stop by police
Getting shot by police
Locked up by police
Man who now is policing these streets
Who knows
Man who now is policing these beats
It shows
That I keep killin
Where the hell are the children
Gettin orphaned
Cuz a cop became a villain
Gettin high of endorphins

When he see a young nigga go by

Man what we gotta do in these streets to survive
Take a gun take a knife yelling fuck the 0-5
