King In Me

I done walked through the rain
And crawled through the mud
Sentenced to that state prison by a white judge
Lost family and friends, felt betrayed by love
But I still got patience and send prayers up above
Cause I know Allah got me if don't nobody else do
I understand the trauma and the struggles I've been through
It made me who I am and taught me who to be
Overcome adversity, that's just the king in me

Gotta know about my struggles just to understand me
A voice for the voiceless, I feel like Allah chose me
That's why I say what I do when I rap on these beats
From the prison yard out to them ghetto streets
No matter what country we in all feel the same
We all know the universal language of pain
Struggle with my identity growing up being mixed
That colorism shit that's just the colonizers tricks
But I still wanted to be accepted, so I bang the set
And as a black kid in this world all you want is respect
See if the police don't kill me then they sure to lock me up
They say black lives matter but do you really give a fuck

I done walked through the rain
And crawled through the mud
Sentenced to that state prison by a white judge
Lost family and friends, felt betrayed by love
But I still got patience and send prayers up above
Cause I know Allah got me if don't nobody else do
I understand the trauma and the struggles I've been through
It made me who I am and taught me who to be
Overcome adversity, that's just the king in me

See I survived through the lockdowns I ain't talking about COVID
A modern day slavery and I'm here to expose it
They giving kids life in prison and education ain't free
Then they bombing kids in other countries that look like me
White teenagers shooting up schools
They blame it on mental health
They make it hard for black people to acquire some wealth
And they think that they an ally cause they post on the gram
I need you to soak up what I'm saying before I make you a fan
Limited perspective by the environment I was kept in
Made an office and a studio out the cell I slept in
Resistance fighter all my life I was born into it
Born hated in this world So the trauma I been through it

I done walked through the rain
And crawled through the mud
Sentenced to that state prison by a white judge
Lost family and friends, felt betrayed by love
But I still got patience and send prayers up above
Cause I know Allah got me if don't nobody else do
I understand the trauma and the struggles I've been through
It made me who I am and taught me who to be
Overcome adversity, that's just the king in me
