Things That I Said (feat. Brittany Camille)

I'm only 13 Afraid to let you down Lots of emotions exploding beneath my precious smile I feel the pressure on me And it may not be to clear I see how hard you're working Just to make blessings appear So now I'm feeling like I gotta do something to make it What would I be worth if I just came back and didn't repay it Sometimes I wished I wasn't here its painful to say My motivation came from fear And it's hard to explain it And I don't blame you I blame the system that uses our pain for profit Incentivizing our anger Living like we're in danger For the remainder of our hours Don't expect a change When the wicked are still in power Same ones who traded for slaves Funded Howard What the hell do we even own Is anything even ours? Still seen as dirty Regardless of soap and shower Bu I'm unapologetic pan African Say it louder I'm sorry for the things that I did I'm sorry for the things that I said Well baby this is just how we live But we just living out the day I'm sorry for the things that I did I'm sorry for the things that I said Well baby this is just how we live But we just living out out the day I'm only 16 Feel like I really need you Mama talks about you Feels like I never have seen you Well maybe once or twice but I was to young to remember I know the pastor say that God's always got agenda And I was confident but you know that I had to pretend to You're a black man Nobody here to defend you Keep it tucked in if somebody try and offend you Don't say you depressed They'll treat you like you started a menstrual I'm sorry for the things that I did I'm sorry for the things that I said Well baby this is just how we live But we just living out the day I'm sorry for the things that I did I'm sorry for the things that I said Well baby this is just how we live But we just living out out the day I'm only 19 What's my place is this world? I see the racists are alive and they starting a war I went to school racists kids who expected me poor And looked surprised when they saw me get honor awards You see me as a character Strictly for entertainment Incarnations, record deals These are the new enslavement Take the shooter to Burger King And then we go parade him I don't hate the cops But this is why do evade 'em Race is just a construct And I don't wear the chosen face Discriminate 400 years ago This ain't a new debate Tell me why would I choose love When y'all be choosing hate Playing with dreams I might lose to fate Once I get a mill Imma leave the states Even when I'm winnin I feel like I'm in a losing race Each of my verses represents Some type of truth I've faced My conclusions is ya boy could really use some space I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry Da doo doo da doo I'm sorry for the things that I did Da doo doo da doo I'm sorry for things that I said Baby this just how- We just living out the We just living out the day We just living out the day We just living out the day We just living out the day We just living out the day
