They Don't Know (LC Edition)

They don't know what I be on They just want me to be gone Always want me to stay home Never want me to come out But I'm out here tryna make a living Like a chef I'm in the kitchen Dishin rhymes up can't deny the deliciousness Listening to this But that's not what they see They think the same shit about you and me Say please and start the brutality When I did nothing wrong I put my hands up I'm obeying orders actually Why can't you just tell me the real reason why you attacking me Been working For a better future for me and my family But you constantly telling other people That I'm no good for this country Arresting me and deporting my loved ones What the f*ck have we all done? Why you pointing at me with that gun? Not a day Goes by without someone tryna judge me Of what they picture like Instagram You tryna tell me who the f*ck I am Like for my life I don't have a plan My dreams are worth more than 100 grand But you don't like me so you make a team To wipe out my skin as a human being All because of some fuckin genes We all people, equal is what this shit supposed to be It's like my whole life's a crime and I have to make a plea It's crazy power is too much for man cuz then comes greed There's gon be more of us eventually just wait and see They don't even know what I be on What I be on, what I be on They don't even know what I be on What I be on, what I be on Cuz I be on my grind Like all the fuckin time Everything looking fine But I'm losing my mind They don't know what I be on They don't even know what I be on I spent a lot of my time doing great in classrooms Was taught to go to college Get a good job without a hassle That is un til you do the math woah I don't got that type of cash flow I can't just ask my fam tho So I'm stuck work in to pay back some loans Damn after all this debt I just put myself into Hope I come across some solid money like a statue I will become a man who is stable enough to provide some food So my fam could eat see them in good moods Ima good dude So is that foo and him too Good skills so any interview I'm killing them just like that my resume can never be whack Great work ethic that's and fact But my life just isn't on track Stable income is what I lack Recognition is what I pack So you telling me even with a degree you deny me Cuz I'm Mexican and African American? This must be pretend I can't believe I'm getting discriminated against again Seems like I can never win I didn't choose what skin to come into this world in It's like a whirlwind The way you twisting hate around on a brother We live in the same world we both love her We've got to look out for each other Regardless of color Spread peace like butter I don't mean any trouble I'm just tryna get by I just ask why Give my people a chance If that was more like the case we wouldn't have to take a stance And we gon stay woke So think twice before your quick to judge me by a glance We're not one brand I'm just one man They don't even know what I be on What I be on, what I be on They don't even know what I be on What I be on, what I be on Cuz I be on my grind Like all the fuckin time Everything looking fine But I'm losing my mind They don't know what I be on They don't even know what I be on Yeah
