Thinking

You be thinking it’s wrong. They be thinking it’s righ- I ainght getting no sleep. I just blink every night/ sink my teeth in the bite- but there’s police in your sight-and they don’t think of who’s left- when they thinking they right/ they just think of the wars. They just think of the fight/ kids losing they life/ a different one every one ever night / you trying to think of a dream/ you pray to God for the sight- but I ainght getting no sleep I just blink every night/



Who thinks of thinks of losing control and lose patience/ I was making food for the soul but who taste it/ home run when I swing flows the moves bases/ now who’s racist just tie up your shoe laces-cause you’ve been getting tricked out the park - you can’t take it- Democrat-republican no matter what you smother in/ massa kill daddy and mama still love him- even if it’s not by choice-you fell stuck with him/ and that’s a fast ball for your ass dog - you ducking em/ 1 finger ainght hushing him. see the discussion is-dollar signs what black lives- that ainght rushing em/ your lossy post on Facebook hat ainght touching em-your rants ainght crushing em-friends ainght a discussion em-fans lost trust in him-you what that discussing is/ taking off all your cloths and dudes rushing in/ you gone have to change your pose/ this called suffering



The coke era- courtesy of the government- the dealers and the addicts don’t know better they loving it/ bougie in your goyard purse -you just discovered it/ you mouth only says your a fool when you uncover it/ redlining means you can’t move up in their neighborhood- breadlines- cause they’ll give you food if you stay away for good/ it’s past time - I’m a just call it the re-awaking/ flat line- cause you I know I died to even say this shit/ they wanna hear stories about all my street glory/ lord verse and VITO/ like what have they done for me/ on the block hustling but I was just a shorty- and my daddy would have killed me if he knew I was supporting/ the same black narrative/ of shooting with 40-smoking weed and getting high no matter what he did for me/ I pray that my son never ignore me/ and i'm rethink on everything that he taught me
