Not for Me

To some of y'all, this not your speed It got you like "this not for me" I don't know what people want I doubt i got what people need A lot of music that be popping now I feel it's "not for me" What you think is hot I might not And it's cool to not agree Despite what's popular to sheep I don't floc' to what you tweet I don't care about trending topics Or gossip in the street If I hop on beat, I'm probably Talking progress for my peeps And that means people Fighting for their equality Protect the DACA Dreamers And our girls from older creepers If Starbux can close stores We need that with our police force Teach em not to reach Out of fear of melinated features Cuz we got bodies up in morgues From people who've never seen war I know you're probably thinking ''Look this is 'not for me' It's completely unacceptable" And I'll be the first one to agree You can stand and fight for change Or you can choose to take a knee Like Kaepernic did For the injustices In our communities It shouldn't be that hard To treat people like people See each other as equals Free our selves from our egos As far as humanity goes Some just may not agree Speak on fair treatment or equity They'll be like "that's not for me tho" I'm not here to talk about What's moral or legal But if we ever speak of reform We need to reconsider "the norm" Face the ugly truths And fix things that have been deformed Remove all corruption So democracy can be reBORN Knowledge is power Young people, we need to read more We pieced together pieces From school texts and museum tours It would've been erased If Lincoln didn't free us Today massuh'd get a million views If he lynched us from his treetop We wouldn't have had no Instagram Or freedom of speech Freedom to think and voice Our opinions with critiques Producers give us beats So we can speak and lift our people up They feeling, how I'm feeling Pretty soon, they gonna be speaking up I don't like what's going on That's just "not for me" I don't agree with your opinion Your views are "not for me" You like the system that exists Which holds us back It's "not for me" You accept those conditions But those terms are "not for me" Not for me, not for me Never that, not for me Not for me, not for me Uh uh- uh uh, not for me Not for me, not for me That's cool for you, but not for me Not for me, not for me Uh uh- uh uh, not for me I don't like what's going on That's just "not for me" I don't agree with your opinion Your views are "not for me" You like the system that exists Which holds us back It's "not for me" You accept those conditions But those terms are "not for me" Not for me, not for me Never that, not for me Not for me, not for me Uh uh- uh uh, not for me Not for me, not for me That's cool for you, but not for me Not for me, not for me Uh uh- uh uh, not for me
