Still

Former governor of Michigan is one of several people who've been told They will face charges in the Flint water scandal Republican Rick Snyder was in charge When Flint's water supply became dangerously undrinkable We need to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt that this water is safe Family members, tell me, they got a call around nine thirty this morning Telling them, Sammie Mcbroom was found dead in his home Emotions running high on Flint's East Genesee Street As police piece together a crime scene "He was a good person, if you needed him he was always there He never turns you away for anything" My friend, why you inflicted You wanna get lethal this summer, I feel like this life is a bummer I had to go run through the tunnel Like Willie E. Coyote, chasing Road Runner Flint water it has a color My partners got killed in the street Sarge got beat with a bat, still he saw us that summer Still we stand on two feet, still we caught in a trap God can you come set us free We carry the weight on our backs Tryna do good for my neighborhood Tryna live right cause God is good I hope my mom is proud of me Still, I feel misunderstood "What's fear without the consequence I gain experience through tough times No kind in my confidence I reside on dope lines of rhymes But inside I feel steep" Still, I walk by the valley of the shadow of death and God is still by my side Still, I see that girl in my head being beat to death and she lost her life Still, that girl left me on read, now she wanna come back in my life Tell me what's right, man, pick up the phone, don't take your life, stand up for rights Still, I wake up to the alarm and sometimes I don't give a mhmm Still, I look in my phone and see people getting drunk, man, I don't give a mhmm Sometimes I don't give a mhmm, mhmm Maybe when we change, that's when I will start to care Maybe when we, huh Steep with my feet, falling into a deep sleep Through the fear, leaving me weak Weak, like seven days of pressure But pressure pays cause pressure can make a diamond But fear would say I was lying What's fear, what's fear What's fear when as a man you can be look down upon every time you tear Tearing up in my eyes as mama say don't you cry Ain't you suppose to be a man I wanna holler back I am, I wanna holler back I am Ain't you suppose to be a man, mama told me don't you cry So no tears in my eyes What's fear when as a man... Fear what, I ain't lying, pressure turned me into a diamond Every week, seven days, wide awake But inside, I'm still afraid Because I resided on words instead of actions to represent what I was lacking No kind in my connection to fear But I'm curious, how everyone feels hard times But what's hard times without the experience
