Black Struggles

There’s struggle Then there’s the black struggle Two completely different things I didn’t make the rules I just play the game It’s nothing they been tryna do It’s nothing they provide for you It’s nothing we ain’t use to Another nigga shot on the news It’s nothing we ain’t tried to do It nothing we ain’t surviving thru It nothing we can’t get thru They feeding all these lies to you You, you and you They telling all these lies to me I just needed honesty Telling me that I can’t be What I’m tryna be And obviously They ain’t been lying Cuz I see the policies Got a high probability And I can’t get no reciprocity Especially from a system That’s been tryna make a mockery Of everything That we experience as minorities Authorities abusing they power They tried forcing me Out my seat Now we getting noise complaints in DC Amplified noise act No loud music on the street This is just apart of what we go through There’s more memories But remembering everything Is just gone take my energy And I ain’t got it I gotta do for my friends and family It’s nothing they been tryna do (They ain’t really gone try) It’s nothing they provide for you (They ain’t even gone provide) It’s nothing we ain’t use to (We been losing our lives) Another nigga shot on the news (Shot dead, die) It’s nothing we ain’t tried to do (Everything we tried) It nothing we ain’t surviving thru (We always gone survive) It nothing we can’t get thru (We been living our lives) They feeding all these lies to you (Cuz they been feeding all lies) You, you and you Why you waiting on a savior Waiting on them to serve you papers Hold your breathe Like you want a respirator Keep waiting it’ll be the end of you Nothing new under the sun Repeating what we already done When they telling you the truth Tell me what you doing do (What you gonna do) It’s nothing they been tryna do (They ain’t doing nothing) It’s nothing they provide for you (They ain’t feeding us) It’s nothing we ain’t use to (Them papers gonna catch you) Another nigga shot on the news (Then you’ll be caught up) It’s nothing we ain’t tried to do (The babies need clean water) It nothing we ain’t surviving thru (Inflation is a mother) It nothing we can’t get thru (We fighting one another) They feeding all these lies to you (I’m crying out to you) You, you and you Ohh Ohhh Ohhhhh To you (To you)
