Knives In My Back

Knives in my back

How could you do me like that?

I'm looking ahead no turning back

I gotts love for no one who does me like that

I guess it is what it is

Why you have to do me like this?

I guess you don't believe in communication

Don't expect me to be out here waiting

Gone do yo thang I ain't even hating

All these knives in my back

I thought we were coo why you do me like that?

I guess you were just waiting on him to get his stuff together

I guess we never had a chance of being together

I was fooled thinking that you wanted better

How could I fall for that?

Meanwhile you sticking all these knives in my back

It didn't have to be like that

All you had to do was say something

But you been cut off so don't say nothing

I wish you didn't go down this road

Why you have to activate beast mode?

You wrong for that

I'm surprised I'm still alive you stuck all these knives in my back

I thought we were coo how could you do me like that??...

Roses

I just want you to know how I feel before we end up on some white tees

Before a nxgga gun me down for my phone and my Nike's….

I just want you to know I feel

These emotions can no longer be concealed

I'm too trill

May these words on this page heal

I wanted to give you these roses before you got killed….

I want you to know how much you mean to me before I go

I'm proud of the woman you've become Indigo

If I never see you again

I promise to cherish that week back in 2010

Family reunion...I hope we reunite

I was feeling down and wanted to call you last night

But I got cold feet….

Kyree keep you some heat in these cold streets

I'm sorry that we don't speak

Acting like communication don't work both ways

I just been real antisocial and unmotivated these days

I'd hate for you to see that side of me

Can't let you see me weak

Can't let you see me weep

I'm your big bro

Don't let me ever forget

I still hate that you crip

Cuh you the smartest person I know on Earth

You just don't see your worth

When you hurt I hurt

I'm trying to make so much money that mama never ever again has to work

You never have to sell purp

Never have to feel like dirt

I just wanted to give you these flowers before I end up on a t shirt…..

Where do I begin with you Blair Bear

Young soldier with a heart full of care

You deserve the world

The most beautiful girl I've ever met

See what I see is deeper than sex

You wanted to give up but haven't done it yet

You keep keeping on despite the odds

I'm not religious but you blessed some type of god

When I get tired I think of you

And all the things you gotta do

All the things yo people put you through

I hope you see it through

After hearing your story I have no excuse

To put my 24 hours to use

I get inspiration just looking at you

I'm happy to call you my friend

Even if we never kick it like we kicked it again…..

I just wanted to give y'all these roses before I die

We never get to smell the roses while we're alive

One rose for you you you and you

I'll never forget you no matter what I do

I just wanted you to smell the roses while you could still smell em...

Free(dom)

Suicide premeditated

We are over medicated

Lost used to have me devastated

Lashes on the back were supposed to keep me dedicated

But I’m too damn educated

To be a jigga boo

Plantation living

I’m better off in prison

I’m better off broke making my own decisions

This ain’t living

This a slow death

Tired of holding my breath

I’m tired of taking it

I’m tired of letting things be

I shall never let another man disrespect me

Or mines

I can tell that it’s time

Nxggas talking Soulja Boy

I’m more worried about my sister being fine

I’m more worried about my finances

I’m trying to break these chains

I need more time to clear my brain

I’m tired of talking

I’m ready to do

I told Jeff live the life that was intended for you….

NEVER (Give Up)

You could do anything You could be anywhere Don't nobody care Zero fxcks, feelings really rare Prisoner of my own mind Where's the electric chair Her electric stare What am I doing here? Good question So much anxiety My situation got me stressing Ima bad day away from sleeping under the bridge Have mercy on the kids Make sure you use your lid 2017 feel like a new era New beginnings The past 26 I haven't done to much winning I've done too much sinning It's time to get it right What good is your voice if you don't use it to fight? Better knuckle up It's a cold world bundle up Grab a scarf and some gloves Why you hate so much? All I did was spread love Guess you don't care You could be anything You could be anywhere I see my route has potholes on the way there So much for tax dollars My parents were drop outs No surprise I wasn't a scholar…… I know you don't care You could be anything You could be anywhere I hope that you make it there...

The Birth (Of A Nation)

December 21st Why your so heart cold? We gone shine without the diamonds and gold We shall conquer all our goals We shall disobey the authority What's the higher ups without workers like you and me?! No matter what you do it ain't good enough Work you till you feel like giving up We shall disobey the authority The minorities are the majority What's the higher ups without workers like you Turn in our badge Our work here is through You don't need them They need you Don't let these corporations have you feeling blue They'll have you second guessing you The problem is them not you Put in your two weeks our work here is through The minority is the majority…… Time to put together a business plan No more working overtime for the man Middle finger up to Uncle Sam Middle finger to privileged They don't give a damn I'm going through real things they'd never understand There's more than what you see They will not continue doing this to me Treating me like spit I'm tired of playing their games Some things just will never change Forget the authority Pissing on the majority This right here is the end!!!!!!!!

There’s A Lot Going Out Here

So much going on in the world

I’m just trying to keep up

You keep trying to hide

But I know that you see us

Everybody wannabe us…

Until it’s time to be us

I’m in the field laboring

I see you got your feet up

Tell me what it’s like!

I been sprinting uphill my whole life

Wonder what my experience would be like if I were white?

Black as the night sky

Left-Eye gone so I only see out my right eye

I’m colorful like tie dye

I’ve seen people have to tell teenagers bye bye

I’m sure there was no dry eye in the hood when Weez died

Sorry bruh I just couldn’t go to your service

I’m sick & tired of all these murders

I’m tired of these guns

Too many lost fathers

Too many lost sons

Hold up they’re not done………………

So much going on in the world

I can hardly keep up

You can’t keep ignoring us forever

I know that you see us!

One day you’ll need us

Everyone wannabe us…

Until it’s time to be us

I’m out here laboring in the field

While you got your feet up

Tell the oppressed how it feels

I was walking to the bus stop

When you pulled up on them big wheels

How many more of us gotta get killed?

Sometimes I wonder if they’ll ever get me

I hope that you don’t diss me

If I’m next I hope you never forget me

I hope all that I did doesn’t go to waste

We need more love

I’m tired of all this hate

So much going on in the world

I’m struggling to keep up….

Anti-Silent (Pt. I)

Mind full of doubt

I don’t wanna whisper no more

I just wanna shout!

I just wanna shout!

I want the world to hear me

I know that the world fears me

They haven’t seen it like this before

They don’t make em like this anymore

I’m sick of the Facebook posts & tweets

Too many people on the web and not enough in the streets

This is not anti-white

This is not anti-police

This is not violent

This is just me breaking the silence!

……………………………………………………..

They say all lives matter

Tell that to Sandra Bland

Oh that’s right you can’t!!

It’s time to organize and take a stand!

I could get popped even if I put up my hands

……………………………….

Even if I tell you that I cannot breathe

Somebody gotta pay

I cannot live this way

Got my people living in fear

Got me wishing that I wasn’t here

…………………………………………………..

If you get offended

Then you probably don’t get it

You kill me and you’ll get acquitted

Or better yet how about paid leave?!

Tell me America do you care about me?

My family or my friends?

They blackballing Leslie Jones cause of her dark skin

They trying to kick Jesse Williams off of his show!

They’d be happy if I cut my afro

Anything that’ll make me look like less of a Negro

They even tried to change my wardrobe

I am not out of control

I am just not in their control!!!!!!

Slurricane Chronicles (Pt. 1)

It feels like a tornado

Maybe a hurricane

Last night I downed a bottle of Slurricane

How long can you mask your pain?

I want money & fame

So I ain’t gotta worry

I wannabe my own boss

So I’m never in a hurry

I just wanna take my time

Organize these thoughts in my mind

So many fine women how do I choose the right one?

I know a couple in my hometown

And I can’t forget about Chelsea out in the bity

This morning I did not wake up feeling like Diddy

Matter fact it was quite the opposite

That Slurricane had me sluggish

I deleted Snapchat

It ain’t nothing but rubbish

Same thing with Facebook and Twitter

I’ma just start tweeting that trill

The type of information & power I want gonna get me killed

I’m thirsty for the truth

Yeah I need a refill

Like soft drinks

I just want you to think

They don’t want you to think

They’d rather do it for you

Slaves of the mind

They done robbed us blind

Erased us out the history books

Whenever I walk into establishments

I get nothing but looks

Employees following me around the store

I’m unwelcomed once I walk through the door

Pat got me into politics

I’m in the gym watching MSNBC

Make sure your kids can read before they ever watch TV…
