On the Ledge (feat. Mellyx)
Shaun King, Lee Merritt
John Boyega
This is for you
And every other activist fighting for us
Thank you
For everything you've done for us
This shit crazy
Daniel Sara on the beat
So he packing heat
Traumatized in my mind
I been tryna keep quiet
Don't like to talk about my feelings
Rather sit back and hide it
I been on a mental roller coaster
Doing things that I ain't supposed to
Momma in the kitchen
Daddy at work
Tryna find my living
Get my meaning from this Earth
Not suicidal
But I'm on the ledge
Tryna climb back up
But I'm on the edge
Too many twisted thoughts
Twisting my head
Ain't got too much pride
To be admitting that
I'm hesitant to go outside
Without a clip & a half
If the cops run up
Best believe, I'm blocking that
My Souljas in them bushes
Them choppers spitting fast
I don't give a fuck
Who got a problem
We gone live at last
My revolver it'll solve it
If a bitch mad
Say it proud
Without that badge
You a bitch a half
MLK yelled
Free at last, free at least
But in certain ways, I feel like
We were freer in the past
Too much Social unrest
And I'm getting mad
The government a mess
And the police force
They been bad
Stay being mad
Cause we stay being Black
That melanin, they can't imitate it
So they just hate it instead, yeah
It's crazy how a knee from Kap
Can cause a movement ahead
But a knee for Big Floyd
Meant being smothered instead
New Black panther
Yeah, I'm digging the pack
I'm ready for war, it's whatever
Me & Souljas getting strapped
Set the cities on fire
We bout to riot
I got a passion it's ignited
This injustice, we bout fight it
Fuck non-violence
No justice, no peace
Can't put my mind at ease
It's NWA
Fuck tha police
Traumatized in my mind
I been tryna keep quiet
Don't like to talk about my feelings
Rather sit back and hide it
I been on a mental roller coaster
Doing things that I ain't supposed to
Momma in the kitchen
Daddy at work
Tryna find my living
Get my meaning from this Earth
You can ignore all of our cries
If you wanna
But them protests won't stop
Till we restore our honor
Your honor
I'm fighting for every Black momma
And every black father
For Ahmaud, Floyd, Breauna
And everyone else
Who lost they life
Or experienced trauma
At the hands of the police force
Or racist white men
Who still don't wanna
Get off they lazy ass
And get over way back when
How you let another race
Build your nation
And then don't even
Have the nerve to be grateful
Y'all weak, and some haters
Give me my mule
And my forty acres
I'm spreading positivity
Repping Black Privilege
Like Oren Major
We need reparations
But we ain't waiting
I'm pulling up to a riot
With my 40 quaking
Busting glocks, busting shots
At 40 haters
Your honor
We only ask for due diligence
And legit Civil Rights
Cause y'all ain't proving it yet
Y'all talk about change
But y'all ain't really doing it yet
So, give it to us
Or we gone take it
I don't give a fuck
How you take it
Our destinies
Are what we make em
Yeah, we got potential to be greater
But at every turn and every angle
They try to underestimate us
It's crazy how a knee from Kap
Can cause a movement ahead
But a knee for Big Floyd
Meant being smothered instead
New Black panther
Yeah, I'm digging the pack
I'm ready for war, it's whatever
Me & Souljas getting strapped
Set the cities on fire
We bout to riot
I got a passion it's ignited
This injustice, we bout fight it
