Genocide (acoustic) [feat. Harp Szn]

Yeah, traumatized
Traumatized
Higher than the ceilin'
Tryin' not to have feel inside
Traumatized
Check it

I'm traumatized
Higher than the ceilin'
Tryin' not to have feel inside
Bein' monetized
Government official tryna treat me like a massacre, a genocide
Plenty times been advised
You could really die at any time, any time
They can get you minimized, in your mind
They gon' ask you for your time, do you mind?

You ain't had it hard as we can see
You ain't had to starve as much as me
I'm reaching for the stars
I've been feelin' like I started at my peak
Came on down so they can see
Life been a little hard
But don't feel sorry just for me
They took my heart away from me
I still got scars
They killed my brother in the streets
He could've water whipped a key
That's still my heart

I can't even lie to you, now
'Cause a lot of you know
I got a heart of gold
And that shit gon' kill me some day
Ooh, you gon' have to feel me some day
Ooh, you gon' see the real me some day, yeah
This ain't a game we should play
I kept it too real, I got played
That's a kick and a slap in the face
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, I'm human, touch, I touch the sun
I walk the moon like astronauts
Life got saved by the bell
They think I wasn't raised very well
But mama had a heart in her chest
My daddy wasn't in no army
But shawty had a gun and a bomb and a vest
But, nah, I ain't talkin' 'bout targets
But my partner had a dog put the target on his head
Had to shake him off, he was talkin' to the feds
Uh, uh-huh, ooh
Ah, no, no, no
Ah, no, no, no
Oh, how I feel inside
Traumatized, yeah, yeah-yeah

I'm traumatized
Higher than the ceilin'
Tryin' not to have feel inside
Traumatized
Bein' monetized
The government official tryna treat me like a massacre, a genocide
Plenty times been advised
You could really die at any time
They can get you minimized, in your mind
They gon' ask you for your time, do you mind?

You ain't had it hard as we can see
You ain't had to starve as much as me
I'm reachin' for the stars
But don't feel sorry just for me
They took my heart away from me
I still got scars
They killed my brother in the streets
He could've water whipped a key
That's still my heart
