Covered in Sin.
It don't matter if u poor or if u rich
As as u black they won't miss
If I step out I may not exist
I'm starting to feel we endangered
They asking questions after they empty the chamber
I'm starting to fill up it's anger who should I blame
The news just add a number they don't feel the name
They don't feel the family who just lost father who just lost a brother
A significant other
Husband, a provider
The system always divide our
Families into a statistic
They way that they kill us is sadistic
I cannot breathe I cannot move from a knee
Momma see I need u please
Momma see I need u please
Look what they doing to me
Look what they doing to your son
In broad day in the sun
Why did I have to be the one
Yea this strictly for sinners
This for them kids who went to sleep and they aint have nothing for dinner
This for them mamas still stripping on poles
This for them women who never had confidence
This for them women who labeled as hoes
This the for them niggas who put dirt up they nose
Fa niggas who stuck in the box
And who out on parole
This is fa niggas who chopping down trees
Cuz they ain't grow up wit a leaf
This is for those who never knew peace
Only gun shots, poverty, and police
Yea this strictly for sinners
Yea this strictly for sinners
Yea this strictly for sinners
Yea this strictly for sinners
I can only imagine
A world that's filled with no madness
Where every kid getting sleep on a mattress
Where I won't b judged for my blackness
Yea I can only imagine
A world where I won't be judged
A world where I can reach for my wallet
And I know for a fact that there won't be blood
The poor getting poorer
And rich and getting fatter
So many unemployed
What's up the ladder
I thought this was land of free
Equal opportunity
They must not be talking to me
This country was built off the back of my ancestors
Malcolm X Martin Luther, I know better
Turn the other cheek and by any means necessary
Yea It's turn up all year and two times on February
This for the ones who went on a ride
Went to school now overqualified
Now they drowning because it's harder to swim in debt
Teach the children so they won't jump in it next
Fill in da bubble so they won't be guessing
Let's stand up together let's leave an impression
Let's let in the the light and yea let's adjust the aperture
No mo Cain and Abel cuz we share mother Africa
Yea this strictly for sinners
This for them kids who went to sleep and they aint have nothing for dinner
This for them mamas still stripping on poles
This for them women who never had confidence
This for them women who labeled as hoes
This the for them niggas who put dirt up they nose
Fa niggas who stuck in the box
And who out on parole
This is fa niggas who chopping down trees
Cuz they ain't grow up wit a leaf
This is for those who never knew peace
Only gun shots, poverty, and police
Yea this strictly for sinners
Yea this strictly for sinners
Yea this strictly for sinners
Yea this strictly for sinners
I can only imagine
A world that's filled with no madness
Where every kid getting sleep on a mattress
Where I won't b judged for my blackness
Yea I can only imagine
