The Show, Pt. 2 (feat. Lael Turner)
You can take my body
But ill give you life
You can take my heart
I'll love you all for life
You can take my voice
I'll still express my words
You won't kill me now
Our generations curse
Generations curse
I seen to many young boys
Built and destroyed
By the one's that never listen
I seen to many black lives
Swallow they pride
Cause they're afraid of consequences
No more
No more
No more
Its been enough that were living in this system
Hard to pay attention when attention is what kills you
I don't think the victims gonna ever be the issue
You would rather place the blame on us you're moving swiftly
Well slow it down
I gotta lot to say not moving till its all over
You wasn't rushing till you heard it on the news coverage
No no no
Well slow it down
Well slow it down
You can take my body
But ill give you life
You can take my heart
I'll love you all for life
You can take my voice
I'll still express my words
You won't kill me now
Our generations curse
Our generations curse
You can take my body
But ill give you life
You can take my heart
I'll love you all for life
You can take my voice
I'll still express my words
You won't kill me now
Our generations curse
Our generations curse
Black is beautiful nigga ask my finances, two step past your micro aggressions on our dances
You called me nappy and then lock ya hair, forgot the key, it's stories of pain and life attached in there
Making fun of my skin and then you tan for yours, if I resemble the night then why you chasing the orange?
Ironic we the ones getting life squeezed out us, for me to be anything a mustard seed helped me move mountains
That's faith, that's GOD, the one you deny skin be brown, a shock
How you don't see I grew up right by the trailer park
I had health and care you didn't, still don't want universal?
You paralyzed and got the nerve to speak when my legs working
But ill give you life
You can take my heart
I'll love you all for life
You can take my voice
I'll still express my words
You won't kill me now
Our generations curse
Generations curse
