Lyrics : They Don’t
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
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
