The Hate U Give
Sat in that cell miserable heart didn't skip a beat all that shit I
Endured want a chance to speak they beat my ass solitary confinement
Isolated changed my attitude gotta make some adjustments they wanna
Handle a nigga I'm goin public disciplinary I'm standing on 10 can't
Let myself go they gon kill me this shit ain't gone go how you think
God heal me but I'm still me nigga get bullied who bite they tongue
And get walked on and love peace if it's up than it's stuck there one
Day we gonna meet protesting in the street no progress I fit the
Description so I'm a suspect they ran my name I'm clean they upset
I'm just taking what was given more or less martial law on the horizon
Unemployment rising told my nigga get in while it's good we taking
Trips stress free IRS gone get there's that shit minor background
Failed but can't get a job and that's bare minimum my little nigga
Fronted me a half a key I spent my reup on some chanel denim I can
Hear my little nigga dre in spirit keep yo foot on they neck
Max camp level 5 praying they take me off restriction this just
How I talk they call it intimidation I call it speaking up no more
Welfare I need my brothers and sisters to boss up my freedom
Matter but the color of my skin you gone assume I ain't got no
Manners my bro ain't got no collateral public housing was hard
But we played it casual protect and serve nigga don't know my
Character are understand why I'm a scavenger before I take a
Plea I rather be bit by a tarantula drop down to my knees often
Cuz I need answers lean help me clear my thoughts wish these
Felonies would vanish I graduated from high school still looked
At like I ain't got no standards and won every time a nigga took
Me up on a challenge I hit that lick cause my stomach was balled
Up eviction in a couple days my momma treating me like a random
No socks no sandals no power just a couple candles life of gamble
If it came down to it you gone put the blame on me cause I ain't
Gone leave you in blind keep you up to speed george floyd was a
Nigga like me so when I see police brutally I don't see no reasoning
I can't change my color I can't free my brother but I can protect
Mines nigga and speak for the voiceless modern day slavery
Extortion seem like the other side stream your music they're
Very supportive simple traffic stop shit started cordial long
Story short hospital shackles good morning your honor
Obstruct and lude smoke heavy so I gotta keep that burna
But these scars permanent lock and loaded you gotta be
Willing to die for what you believe in black lives matter
Built2last yeah we gotta stick together yes lawd
Endured want a chance to speak they beat my ass solitary confinement
Isolated changed my attitude gotta make some adjustments they wanna
Handle a nigga I'm goin public disciplinary I'm standing on 10 can't
Let myself go they gon kill me this shit ain't gone go how you think
God heal me but I'm still me nigga get bullied who bite they tongue
And get walked on and love peace if it's up than it's stuck there one
