Good Enough

I guess I should kill myself with monoxide
Cause I can't change my skin with peroxide
If they kill me please pray my momma not cry
Already in heaven Aston Martin wings I'm fly
They say all the good brothers still go to prison
And they got me ready with the high school detention
When I didn't split the pole I wasn't superstitious
I just didn't wanna separate from my ninjas
Please keep us together God we good Christians
If we not please Lord grant us forgiveness
God Tamir wasn't old enough to be a sinner
And I wish that Trayvon got to eat his dinner
Eric Garner breath better now it's no problem
Sandra Bland made it safely to go to college
You should know they names yall this is common knowledge
It just seems blue and whites got a black problem
Can't we all get along y'all pretty please?
Dude we all royalty but not Rodney Kings

They say we wasn't good enough
Say we wasn't good enough
We still wasn't good enough
But I don't see them changing
And I think it's so amazing
That we still getting better

If I did do a crime don't the judge rule
But you call me son and beat me like I'm one too
I'm somebody father I'm not your son dude
I think you mad cuz I shine like the sun do
I need my daughter on my back not a hearse dog
I got a clean record I ain't curse y'all
Man they killed bruh at Wendy's
he fell asleep here they ain't missed a day yet and this ain't a leap year
Chuck Kinsey laid down, they shot em right there
They don gave a autistic grown man nightmares
At least Chuck lived he a good witness
But for Mike Brown I think I'm a roll a Swisher
And for George Floyd I think Ima burn a candle
He at peace now no longer in this battle
You don took somebody father you making orphans
It's time to drain the swamp now, New Orleans
This ain't a game at all stop playing D
They so busy making Saints replace D Brees

They say we wasn't good enough
Say we wasn't good enough
We still wasn't good enough
But I don't see them changing
And I think it's so amazing
That we still getting better

We went from I'm Sean Bell, to Justin Howell
I put my hands up they shoot me like I'm Mike Brown
I took a knee like Oscar Grant they still blew me down
They took a knee like Colin Kapernick right on a child
Pray for Elijah Y'all, pray for Elijah
His momma waiting back at the crib he ain't arriving
Imagine calling the cops to come arrest
All of the cops, I know it sound really funny but I ain't smiling
It make me wanna go and live somewhere up on an island
But Babylon everywhere now, just like Verizon
I'm going to my car he ask me where I hid the keys
I said I had a job he said boy, you work for me
So I keep in my wallet copies of all my degrees
That's when I figured out his jealousy is cause I'm free
I'm sorry sir that you ain't never be all you could be
But I been out here grinding everyday ain't nothing sweet
We all trying to do a little better for the future
But that don't mean when we look happy that you should shoot us

They say we wasn't good enough
Say we wasn't good enough
We still wasn't good enough
But I don't see them changing
And I think it's so amazing
That we still getting better
They say we wasn't good enough
Say we wasn't good enough
We still wasn't good enough
But I don't see them changing
And I think it's so amazing
That we still getting better
