I'm Not OK, Stop Asking

Yeah
If God don't make mistakes how you explain me?
When this world will go and plainly, hang me, from the same tree
That bore forbidden fruit, been given proof, it's in the pudding
They let klansmen in the office, not the nigga with the hood in
Oh its biblical, its pitiful, but nothing less than typical
Whole system put you down and then they say "don't get political"
Dehumanized and trivialized, always disrespected
While they ridicule the culture just to use it for aesthetic
Man forget it. I can't emote, this got me losing focus
Can't sleep, I been the wokest, I wrote this knowing its hopeless
Cause this rope is, just long enough I know I shouldn't slack
With all these arrows in my back and all these leeches wanting stacks
I can't relax or maybe can and just don't (Or maybe can and just don't)
(Just don't) Let it pass? I just won't
Y'all ask, how it correlates to all the stress I'm holding
Everything I held near, that was dear, has been stolen
But it made me who I am, you can't take it away
I'm flying high, no wonder why, now all the snakes are the prey
They in they bag, Jake Roberts, can't trust em
Y'all couldn't walk a mile in my shoes, the kicks custom
Never could they lace my boots or match my soul
Just try to tear apart my heart; know that's the goal
The passion's low, once patches show, can see that life's updates
Have me ready to quit, even playing, I've felt enough hate
And duct tape ain't got the strength to stop it from breaking
Who gives a fuck, what y'all feel, it never stopped you from taking
So stop all the faking. These days my smile D-O-A
World'll beat you down and tell you "it'll be OK"
If we all in this together, yell "Team" on three
Don't tell me stand up on my own so you can lean on me
Seen? don't lean on me
I'm still standing, barely moving, while they lean on me

I could never forget it
Way too many times, I sat aside and watched 'em
Minimize and penalize, but never could they empathize
Just criticize, they visualize a monster when we walk in
But when its time to steal, they the culprits in all the robbing
They don't got one (Culture)
Take from the ones that started the most
They don't got none (Soul)
Fake it and think that its cool to boast
They aint stop, once
Continue to do it even when told about
But when those tables turned, they gone act like its what we glorify
Its sore to eyes
The sight of a blatant statement in hatred
I don't get it
But I'm left to accept the sentence that's stated? I refuse that's
Only gon' add fuel to the fire burning
I been certain, this feelings from multitudes of lying person, parties
That goes for the democrats and republicans
Crooked politicians acting like they really govern in a safe way
Selling us stories about their prospering; pathetic
Only parliament, praised; the Funkadelic
L's been taken from the jump, see?
Why let em relish in a fantasizing of silence; I wanna see us become free
Of hurt, of pain, obstruction
We cannot become them
We gotta be above them to function
In a society where people climbing the ladder
Fact of the matter, is patterns
Gotta start it with a dagger in the gut
Left to stagger, when you end up in a rut
So its only right to combat it; law of average is a must
Whether you like it or not
Life's bout fortifying things that you got, getting the plot, then you mixing the pot
Feeling like Usopp; taking the shot; from a distance
Ghost writing thru life missing the breaks and all the pistons
Unforgiven how we treated, due to color of our pigment
Sad to say that better days are only things inside a figment of imagination
Hate it had to still be a thing
A state of emergency, sound the alarm
Let freedom ring
