Mama's words (feat. Phaseone)

Sometimes i sit in a room
And i stare at the wall
But when I lived in the womb
There was no pressure at all
I came out
And I saw the light
And was presented the truth
Life and all its beauty
Didn't know that I would consume
All the trauma
Brought up
Societal standards
They got us
Brain wash us
To every screen
Our brain watching
They locked us
There's less of here
Yet most of locked up
They asking us to comply
We reply and they shot us, shot us, shot us
From the hands of coppers coppers
We don't deserve the neglect
If by law you protect and serve

A plate full of hateful actions and words
See citizens open carry
Putting us in the earth
Bc we speaking our minds
And we value our worth
There's space for all of us here
Shouldn't be fighting for turf
Y'all want the cake and eat it too
So we can't get the Billie
We need 2 Millie
Just to say we Aires of the Millie
You thought getting here was hard
Try sustaining the Millie
There's good folks that I know
That won't see half
Or anything close
But programmed within their faith and their hopes
Even organized religion
Treating us like we dopes
Mind benders, high agendas
Another day, other Dilema
Butterfly effect, I'm feeling the tremors
It's getting hard to raise a child
Trying to live ourselves
But that's the way they set it up

So we destroy ourselves... I'm pensive
Live and let live
Losing touch of humanity It's senseless
Like senses extinct
Trying to live a dream
While leaving an imprint
Adjusting to an abnorm
Questioning instincts
Questing within is
The task at hand
It's the end of the world as we know it
R.E.M.
Half of the worlds in deep sleep
Further than REM
Some awake
Others are too and just pretend...

This life is crumbling over and it's making me loose myself
I see the lights they flashing sends a trigger in me
Will I ever walk the streets with my pride and my dignity
Or will I go inside and let fear hang over me
Crying for protection cause the cops how they come for peeps
Walking peacefully so we can live and just be

That's what mama said this is the land of the free
That's what daddy said this is the land of the free
And here the cops again they point and aiming at me
See my tears voice is cracking and I'm too scared to scream
It only takes one bullet and life's over that's it
My son is on my mind and we press on and won't quit
I will teach him he does matter and there's much more than this
Set your eyes soon what's above your protected and covered
And be a shinning light you are a man who is free
Remember mommy's words you are a man who is free
Remember daddy's words you are a man who is free
Set your eyes soon what's above your protected and covered
And be a shinning light you are a man who is free
Remember mommy's words you are a man who is free
Remember daddy's words you are a man who is free
You are a man who is free...
