Growth

You see us out on the road
They say we out of control
But how the fuck could they know?
They drove us off of the road
Somebody make it make sense
We can just keep playing pretend
We can't stop cause we at they necks
And I gotta admit, that I'm loving the growth
But we still got a long long way to go

They say we acting up
Tell us to back it up
Serve and protect, and yet your actions just don't back it up
Show up all padded up
Say you done had enough
Start throwing tear gas, and you wonder what's been gassing us
Y'all came up in this country, making yall laws
And took away the people's freedoms claiming they land was yours
Then used the law to justify killing black folks in they homes
And he ain't let off George's neck, so we ain't letting off y'alls
We chanting "say they're names", the holler back "which ones?"
Pull up with signs to combat their rubber bullets and guns
"HANDS UP, DONT SHOOT"
Now we out on the run
But best BELIEVE me when I tell you bitches, we ain't the ones
Because we planted the seeds and watered them right
Now then seeds are taking root and shit is coming to light
And now the people recognize that this is more than a fight
It's time to revolutionize and that's why

You see us out on the road
They say we out of control
But how the fuck could they know?
They drove us off of the road
Somebody make it make sense
We can just keep playing pretend
We can't stop cause we at they necks
And I gotta admit, that I'm loving the growth
But we still got a long long way to go

Fuck Trump and whoever
Gon' objectify truth
Prejudice with a badge
Is a klansman in blue
He ain't scared for his life
He can lawfully shoot
That's just a reason code
For why pick this nigga to noose
Passed a counterfeit bill
Got some skittles and juice
Give us something to say
Other than oops
I let loose
On anybody who ain't reading the room
Defund the power of oppressors and dismantle they troops
Yes I agree, in other areas we have to improve
But fuck gaslighting my perspective don't need proved
I was groomed by real niggas
Who just stood on they two
And walked right
Made the wrong way foo
My OG Floyd The God
Said youngin don't shoot
Sometimes I wish that nigga would have raised you
I know these times are odd
But wrong is wrong this shit ain't hard
Bitch I walk like Trayvon
And I run like Ahmaud

You see us out on the road
They say we out of control
But how the fuck could they know?
They drove us off of the road
Somebody make it make sense
We can just keep playing pretend
We can't stop cause we at they necks
And I gotta admit, that I'm loving the growth
But we still got a long long way to go

Got a long way to go
Got a long long way to go
Got a long way to go
Got a long long way to go
Got a long way to go
Got a long long way to go
Got a long way to go
Got a, got a...
