Elevator Music
Woke up black boy i'm blessed and i'm winning
Forever grateful in the land of the living
Some people hate the fact that they gotta grow, but shit
Getting older is a wonderful feeling
Another year to take on wisdom
And learn from my past ways
Mishaps, missteps, and mistakes
And make sense of the passed days
20 years ago i couldn't even piss straight
15 years ago i was still growing teeth
10 years ago i had my lil Jesus phase
5 years ago i damn near didn't believe
Like why my people gotta suffer when we built this fuckin' country
Cold world but we always get the third degree
And when i seen what them blue boys did with George Floyd
Fool it felt like the whole world hated me
Was on the couch and hella anxious, i could barely sleep
Thinking bout his daughter and how this affected she
See generational wealth is always the topic that's dealt
but why is trauma the only thang that we inheriting
And this ain't unique to her cause you can name so many others
All these brothers outchea dying by the badge please
Tell me how you really care when you can unlawfully murder
But the justice that get served is fuckin paid leave
Gotta be another way but we when we riot they gon blame us
for the trials and tribulations when they make one of famous
Ain't no sympathy and even if you peaceful they'll detain ya
Land of the Free is looking like the devil's lair
People shoot up anythang bruh elementary ain't safer
They might catch you in yo church and
Hit you while you sending prayers up
They prey on us and hate on us the government don't bang for us.
It make you wonder why the fuck you still remaining faithful for
God keep me safe God (God). God keep me safe God (God)
God keep me safe God (God). God keep me safe God (God)
God keep me safe God (God). God keep me sane
God keep me safe, God keep me sane
God keep me safe
Forever grateful in the land of the living
Some people hate the fact that they gotta grow, but shit
Getting older is a wonderful feeling
Another year to take on wisdom
And learn from my past ways
Mishaps, missteps, and mistakes
