Unaffected

How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected, unaffected, unaffected
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected, unaffected, unaffected

I can't tell why you're clapping
Don't you see the system is designed for distraction
Filling up your head while you're carrying a package
Couples ounces left, sell it off and pay your rent
Phone a friend and feel happy
Only for a minute then it's gone
You've been working on this song so long
You forgot to call your mom
Security, knocky knock
Yes sir, we heard two alarms
No sir, nothing's going on
That's all my family on the lawn
Been working daily twice as hard as motherfuckers pay me
So who can blame me, taking everything, nobody play me
You know the verse is hot, like Cole booking a Verzuz spot
I prefer to not drop off but if the hearse has got an open bar
Then pour me up, death can't beat insomnia
12 can't beat an army full of hoodlums with their tommy gun
All my neighbors know me and you know we're proud of where we're from
Turned on the news and saw the cops just shot another one

How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected, unaffected, unaffected
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected, unaffected, unaffected

How do you stay unaffected
You can't. Let it sink in
Good guy and bad guy's a difference without distinction
This is outlaw country, not genre how
We're the thorn in the side of a country white-washing it's body count
My jersey's in the rafters, retiring from bullshit
Took gas and a match to my soap box and pulpit
This black skin didn't come with the benefit of the doubt
So that monster you're scared of
Fuck it, I'm lettin' him out
Fuck your respectability
Just another sterility
An uppercut to the chin of the ones you fuck up so civilly
Viral belief systems catchin on but just wait
Til the woke hit their virtue signal and switch lane
Cause fear's more contagious than a chuckle
And a coward's only power is control
The knowledge of good and evil created battlelines
But the wisdom of good and evil is that they both are inside us

How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected, unaffected, unaffected
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected, unaffected, unaffected

I think the neighbors know my name (Name) name (Name) name (What)
Heavy is the crown when the peasant's seeking the fame, aye
Heavy are these hands when I get to throwing these things, aye
Please be advised when you get to judging your man
I am the round two to Batman's Bane
I am the sun and the rain
Righteous man but still toting that thing for pressure
Slow singing, flower bringing, I seen it for lesser
Talk back, get smacked on your way to a stretcher, aye
Don't lie to me, you lying to God
Do you see a black man's plight, or do you write it off
Are you jealous of my stroke, like Tiger Woods in golf
With the red polo on, the undefeated mark
They intercede with a flask
America's hard to see buried deep in a mask
Been known to pop trunks when I peeped in the past
The knife stuck in my back was traded in for a flag
One

The apathetic or twelve defender stay ejected
Unapologetic word sender even when rejected
Will back a flag burner before he backs the blue
Pledge no allegiance to a badge or flag that's flew
(What about the blue lives?)
No one here bats an eye
(But they fight the good fight)
Oh, I see you're asinine
Bowing to blue lines of each devil who packs a nine
Playing target practice on the innocent and fans are wild
Into excuses, pledges and defense to them
Oh what the heck stupid, get out of the hex to end
Ububi balab' oShathan' abagqok' amabheji
Abasalaleli bafuna s'xazulule ngempi
But we fight a losing battle against a super eagle
An anti black neonazi form of crude and evil
Klansmen claiming to defend; too deceitful
And if you buy into it, they succeed to deceive, fool

How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected, unaffected, unaffected
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected when living with all the criminals
How can you stay unaffected, unaffected, unaffected

Unaffected, unaffected, unaffected, unaffected
Unaffected, unaffected, unaffected, unaffected
Unaffected, unaffected, unaffected, unaffected
Unaffected, unaffected, unaffected
