[Chorus]
Raised through the rain and the shame
And the pain never changed like that
Speakin' on my name with disdain
When we in the same frame
N***as claim that it ain’t like that
Shorty playin' games
Said, I really ain’t the same
My demeanour never changed, girl, it came like that
Never been a slave
Take my freedom to the grave
I ain’t trippin' in the race for the fame like that

[Verse]
So, where I'm posed to go?
Aspirations ovеrgrown
Papa raised a sober soul
Mama raised a rolling stonе
Complicate the process defeating the demons that I tangled
It’s sweeter to try angles like a Toblerone
Pull up to the homie crib, mama left him home alone
Told him if it’s life or death, hit her on the mobile phone
We was just some my yutes
Scared to hit the ocean, so we posted in the bayou
Try to move in silence, they gon try you
Freeze, police lurkin', lookin' for leisure
Fourteen comin' out the pizza, pizza
They gon tell a n***a, "Freeze"
Shakin' in the face of domination
Contemplatin' constellations
Know the homies never seen a n***a freeze
Curbside incrimination
Makin' prayers to the maker
Hope that patience overtake him
Heart racin'
N***a, breathe
Nameless in the nation
Faces to the pavement
Entertainment when see another young n***a freeze
[Chorus]
Raised through the rain and the shame
And the pain never changed like that
Speakin' on my name with disdain
When we in the same frame
N***as claim that it ain’t like that
Shorty playin' games
Said, I really ain’t the same
My demeanour never changed, girl, it came like that
Never been a slave
Take my freedom to the grave
I ain’t trippin' in the race for the fame like that
