Lyrics
They don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat They don't want to see a young black man succeed They don't want to see me take my brothers out of the streets They don't want me They don't want me to sleep, they don't want me to dream They don't want to see my people livin' good and at ease They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys We ain't never free I'm grateful for life and the prize I reap Every day and every night, I get on my knees And I pray for my guys and they families Hope the Lord hear me I can only imagine the pain and the grief From the innocent mothers with all the sh*t they had to see When you lose the ones you love to the f**kin' police, it cuts deep When Heaven calls and the angels do they job We start to question God like we could play His part It gets so f**kin' hard, we can't escape the dark It's hatred in my heart for the ones who left this scar But everything will be alright soon I just wanna let you know ain't nothin' like you We live and die, that's always been the cycle I promise it wasn't about you When you make it to Heaven, give me your eyes, dude Watch over me closely 'til it's my time too The only thing I can do is turn to the Bible And do my best to help your family 'cause they're mine too
