Hand Me Downs
Aang is backed up in a protest surprised he ain't get shot yet
Little black boy with a gift wise as the elders
Playful as a kid understood the murders and the martyrs
That death wasn't a starter for a black life to matter
Cause black life is all life the things that I seen
Let material things determine self esteem
Shoulda focused on the love and the friends and the people
Distract us with the money make us all feel evil
Kinda tough when you broke just tryna be equal
They pump the hood full of drugs turn you on your people
Embedded imagery against your own people
Displaying bigotry just let it be equal
Hustling for bread make us all feel evil
But niggas gotta eat and the food and free though
I'm Dominican and black as fuck
Those things are not contradictory
Your skin is yours as are your feelings
Agency comfort and ownership bring hope
Consider the black images they promote
Ain't no problem if you toss a ball or make em dough
But take a knee or raise a fist oh no
Bacon egg and cheese while I'm spitting future ham me downs
If you bite the flow at least pour some shit to wash it down
Yeah the flow filthy and the minds bitter
Rapping so cold turn the summer into winter
Got a little lost I've been real since placenta
Racism been alive they just got some filters
They put it on the gram they flexing vacations
Locals trying to survive you testing their patience
Shoulda focused on the love and the friends and the people
Distract us with the money make us all feel evil
Kinda tough when you broke just tryna be equal
They pump the hood full of drugs turn you on your people
Embedded imagery against your own people
Displaying bigotry just let it be equal
Hustling for bread make us all feel evil
But niggas gotta eat and the food and free though
Niggas gotta eat that's when shit gets greasy
How they got four houses I don't even got a TV
Would they even care if I went crazy like Stevie
Since I was 16 didn't no-one ID me
Old enough to be murdered on the live tv
Old enough to sip on some bad margaritas
Old enough to be murdered on the live tv
Old enough to sip on some bad margaritas
The drinking age should be the you kill me and get away with it age
Stop killing me man
Little black boy with a gift wise as the elders
Playful as a kid understood the murders and the martyrs
That death wasn't a starter for a black life to matter
Cause black life is all life the things that I seen
Let material things determine self esteem
Shoulda focused on the love and the friends and the people
Distract us with the money make us all feel evil
Kinda tough when you broke just tryna be equal
They pump the hood full of drugs turn you on your people
Embedded imagery against your own people
Displaying bigotry just let it be equal
Hustling for bread make us all feel evil
But niggas gotta eat and the food and free though
