Notorious
I don't talk a lot
So when i speak
You better fucking listen
It's only coming from the heart
I don't even know where to start
I used want to be
Just like all these other rappers
Gold chains, diamond rings
Throwing money to dancers
But that's a cancer
Cause money won't make you handsome
But they say it will
Used to want the girls all in my lap
Blow a couple racks and make it all right back
Big stacks, fitted hat
What's wrong with that?
I used to think about it
All the time home alone
Reading magazines filled my mind with dreams and hope
I'd only be about
Ass shaking the earth quaking
See my face spread all over the gossip pages
My parents calling me
Telling me, that they hate
But i'm they only son under the sun
They couldn't hate it
Only demonstrated that they love
Couldn't fake it
Unconditional the only way i could've made it
It's the notorious
It's the notorious
No-no-notorious
It's the notorious
Things gonna change
We gotta make a change
We not gonna survive
Keeping things the same
Tired of seeing my
Brothers slain, sisters slain
Cops walk around plain
Mothers and fathers being taken from sons and daughters
Sons and daughters being taken from mothers fathers
What they call us
Every name in the book
Call us
Looters, rioters, thugs, niggers and crooks
To be honest they shook
And they don't abide by the book
But i gotta comply?
Hands up to survive
Even with hands up
You know i still might die
I used to never worry bout
Stuff like this
Used to brush it all off
Like bristles on hair
One day it'll be fixed
Then that light gonna come
Other side of the tunnel
But that shit not done
So we keep on em
Keep marching, keep trying
Keep believeing
We'll be on the green side
Don't tell my family i'm scared
Don't tell my girl that i'm stressed
Cause we gotta keep fighting
Til we get justice
Til that last breath
It's the notorious
It's the notorious
No-no-notorious
It's the notorious
This for all my beautiful
Black brothers and sisters
Our eyes are open
Now it's time to
Open your ears, open your mind
Open your hearts
They gotta stop killing us
We gotta stop killing each other
You better listen up
So when i speak
You better fucking listen
It's only coming from the heart
I don't even know where to start
I used want to be
Just like all these other rappers
Gold chains, diamond rings
Throwing money to dancers
But that's a cancer
Cause money won't make you handsome
But they say it will
Used to want the girls all in my lap
Blow a couple racks and make it all right back
