Take A Look

Steady thinking bout the past Gotta get it off my mind Overthinking don't do nothing But it helps me pass the time I'm tryna make a dollar But Ain't worth more Than a dime It's hard not to think When you be looking at ya life And thinking what's the meaning When you know you gonna die And looking at my cellphone Man they taking all our lives Feel like I hear the screams From my ancestors cries And I'm locked in the chains Of my oppressor Can't even get a sorry No confession And I'm steady paranoid Steady stressing It's hard to turn my pain Into lessons Cause the anger in my heart Just wanna take they love Wanna give them the same Treatment they inflict on us And if you looking in my eyes Then you should know what's up I plant my words in the ground And give them time to grow And when they finally resonate They hit you in yo dome Don't be so satisfied Your counterparts is failing Just take a look into the mirror See the villain Ignorance been the plague Centuries of killing And the things you don't resolve Will haunt you while you living Steady thinking bout the past Gotta get it of my mind Out my mind Rolling round In my bed Tryna get it off my mind Overthinking don't do nothing But send chills down my spine My mind telling me one thing But my body say you fine Heart bumping Heart beating Heart feeling like I'm dying Why it feel like sin To be black What did we do to deserve Whip in the back Or lynching and killing Sending me back This ain't a part a the past It's still the present So I keep my head up And look to heaven And I just hope that death A better living Cause opportunity on earth Just ain't a given
