People Got Things to Say

I was born solo into self hate Brown kid white city Since the third grade Told my momma thanks for everything you’ve done Set up for a rising tide but now that battleship has sunk I began to hate my family for giving me a life Never staying out of trouble always searching for a fight Taking shots to fill the emptiness that grew inside my mind Never thought that all these differences would nearly end my life People got things to say They say they love us in a different way Then forget to communicate and all the hate builds up in our hearts I’m just trying to survive Keep my head on while i'm still alive Breathing heavy to contain the vibe Testify I know you think we got a lot of things in common But the problems don’t get brought up cause I work so hard to solve them Pushing all your hateful comments and I brush it off my ego Got a fire in my belly Never cross me or my people But the people on my side best friends and my wife Had to deal with all the crazy that was nurtured by my life I apologize to everyone who’s dealt with all the demons Had to put the beast to bed, now I think in rhyme and reason People got things to say They say they love us in a different way Then forget to communicate and all the hate builds up in our hearts I’m just trying to survive Keep my head on while i'm still alive Breathing heavy to contain the vibe Testify People got things to say They say they love us in a different way Then forget to communicate and all the hate builds up in our hearts I’m just trying to survive Keep my head on while i'm still alive Breathing heavy to contain the vibe Testify Don’t call me broken With weak words You’ve spoken Conscious Explosion Keeping me In motion Don’t call me broken With weak words You’ve spoken Conscious Explosion Keeping me In motion She was shot down In her own town She was shot down In her own town She was shot down In her own town
