Progression (feat. Tbhonest & Tony Mcelveen)

Can we converse
I feel like
I feel like
We can't see progression until we go through something
Yeah yeah
Yeah
Black boys in black hoodies
Officer black pistol no color called for the jury
So whats the verdict I know that they reached it
White privilege bang the hammer and think it's a secret
I can give my two cents and they tell me to keep it
We relate through a hashtag and mamas thats grieving
Damn
We still dreaming when Martin was dreaming
In the water with the sharks just watching for Willie Beamen
Reminiscing bout days in the service
Gave me money gave me shelter exchange ima murder thats word to
Iraqi children I seen em thought they would blow one
Chicago thats a war but hear me I seen a real one
You know the feeling you sleep and your stomach turning
You start to get immune to the mortars and fire burnings
Return you home whats normal is not concerning
For months you hid the fear for your death cuz thats a burden
Then they tell you talk to a shrink and thats concerning
To the fact that when they train you they tell you to find your courage
Now you feel emotions is weak you gotta burn em
To everyone around you its shocking like power surges
Mix it with a routine stop that ends in murder
Ain't no rules to a officers force they just exert
It it ain't greener on the opposite fence I'm finally learning
Ima nigga in the service ima nigga out in person
Damn

Let's talk about progression
I evolve overtime
So tired of the stressing
Something please ease my mind
Look inside and focus focus focus
Focus Hey Hey
Dig deep and focus focus focus

Yo
Can you remember the Titans I can remember fighting
Black and white tension rising
Inner demons they confide in
Emotion bubbling couldn't keep it all up inside him
So the Ku Klux Kitties put on masks to hide them
What kind of pussy are you
Throwing rocks then you hide the
Hand that threw em find a cave to hide in
Your bitch ass sliding to the home base get killed fast
Hit your cervical get whiplashed
Cooperation foreign as a chinaman
The constitution wanna rewrite and sign again
We know way more to fuck it up this time
It's less complex than constructing a rhyme
It's your boy TB for the win
I don't know how to stop so I just keep going in
I work my ass off
For the family of Nipsey we gon pray up
On a Marathon we gotta stay up
Lay up with the wrong one never I'm too clever
Got a bad one and we done made through hella weather
Rain Sleet
So many been slain in the street can't sleep
Not bout a bag than it ain't me
Started as a youngin decided to pick a hobby
Minding my own business ain't really bother nobody
Not looking for trouble I get into it prolly
But that all stopped when I started using my noggin

How come you not blinging and
Having all kind of
Crazy diamonds and all that
All that is cool
For the image and all that
But all them is liabilities you feel me
I'd rather invest in some real estate
Invest in some assets
As opposed to trick off my money on some liabilities
Like diamonds you know what I'm saying
Cars that lose value soon you drive em off the lot
So you tryna you tryna get land
Exactly homie real assets take care of my people

Lets talk about progression
I evolve overtime
So tired of the stressing
Something please ease my mind
Look inside and focus focus focus
Focus Hey Hey
Dig deep and focus focus focus
