Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam looks like the plan
Can't find another route
Don't understand how God could stand me
I feel I'm selling out
How will my niggas understand my choice
I'm well endowed
with talent and passion
Can't believe that I am tapping out
My cousin asked me
"What about your black power
They don't give a fuck about your life here
They will devour you there"
My stubbornness keeps my mind clear of biases
I don't want your advice nigga
Started being defiant
My biggest client
Were beats when I was younger
Got off work in the summer
Jotted down thunder until i slumbered
It was religion
Now I'm dismissing my own mission
For white visions
Not comprehending
Where God's sending me
Life's given
Everytime, I think about lifting my brothers up
Nobody can stand the weight
We carry on our backs
Our lives are tough
But you could never relate
That's why I ask
If these benefits are as good as they say
There's another way, I'm sure
Uncle Sam been calling me
Been thinking bout responding back
But I said I'd never leave here, leave here
I said I'd never leave here, leave here
He's saying that he'll pay my bills
Give me a nice future
but honestly to keep it real
I still said I'd never leave here
It's just that tryna find my way hasn't been harder
So I figured I'd follow my father
Already got the degree
So I'd go in as an officer
Shit, I'm much safer there than here
With these fucking officers
Right
"Right
But brother you never struck me as the army type
You're meant to be here with us
Contributing to our fight
Use your intelligence
Uplift brothers that's settling
No, I'm not your pops but close enough
Yea I'm meddling
Last thing that I need is for your face to pop on CNN
And be another statistic"
Yea Kay,
Your Pops words of wisdom
Live inside me today
And as the days move on and we inch closer to election time
I get kinda nervous
Find myself searching for peace of mind
Tryna keep an Obama mentality isn't easy
Especially when you keep seeing 45 on the TV
Tryna find another way to piss another country off
Praying he doesn't win
Or a war will not be TOO far off
Are these benefits are good as they say
There's another way, I'm sure
I'm just trying to feed my family
Can't find another route
Don't understand how God could stand me
I feel I'm selling out
How will my niggas understand my choice
I'm well endowed
with talent and passion
Can't believe that I am tapping out
