Sloe & Steady

It's just me and my brethren
We good
Different cultures
Different parents
With a bond that's way thicker than blood
We all need some love
We need a place to call our home
And that woman we could call our own
Lemme break it down
Convulsions
With my heartbeat pulsing
Bad pills we rolling
Off this loud
Keep coughing
He keeps going down
This down road
He knows this shit gon' cost him
Only met his pops by 12
Before that was a orphan
Honestly I'm exhausted
Spillin' out my guts
In the toilet
That black boy there
So flamboyant
Looking for the next come up
Not no employer
Break jaws
Still break laws
I need a lawyer
How dare the media trynna question me
Huh
About my past
About my family
Y'all want the truth
But y'all can't handle it
Legault corrupt that was abrupt
The SPVM racist AF
Was with the man yeah just the other day
Then two days later police killed him front his mama place
Unarmed
The disgust
I can't describe the feeling that day
This NDG shit
What more can I say on the gang

I just want to love
I just want to grow
I just want to rise above
So steady and so sloe

Wake up detonate and demonstrate
Pile of paper exquisite
I live with the hate of my origination
I cannot blink I am the maker
Abomination
And the fact that I am here
Is too much for consideration
I'm first nation
So let me say it 'cause you know I'm straight up
Like the antichrist
To some of these middle-class bourgeoisie
I don't need a favour
Never needed favours
You understand that you're not my saviour
Two One Five dead in the name of Christ
Straight up like the night
That I had to save and fight for my life
And to grapple with the SPVs and the 18mms
Trynna let the metal holler
And take away this leader in a hearse
And it's worse than fictional
And I may have repercussions for speaking truth
A percussion in the form of concussion
Yo these cops are busting in the name of Justin
The shook ones who cannot fathom
Bipoc people having fun
With the funds not carrying guns
'Cause that's how they run
And that's how they share
Unceded territory
Somehow it is really theirs
Keep your damn house
'Cause I really do not care
I miss all my family and the ones who are not here
Can you take the time to understand
It's coming more clear
That you keep killing us mostly out of your own fear
We do not need a bullet just to know that you are here
I am unarmed sometimes stressed
'Cause my life has not been blessed
But you know I'm giving it my all
Giving it my best

I just want to love
I just want to grow
I just want to rise above
So steady and so sloe
