Car Ride

Hey Mr. Officer please let me be I'm just a black man tryna' make it to 23 We beat the same heart and we bleed the same blood So besides the way we look what's the difference in you and me? Like Hey Mr. Officer please give me a break There's only so much that a soul can possibly take I wish you would make sense of the reason for all yo' hate But my plate is full gotta get going can't end up late like Listening to "Calligraphy" Killing demons with Saba Easily ease my soul And make me dancing like Samba All of the weight is on me I'm feeling just like Mufasa Long live the king Who seen things Up to 18 And still dream 'Bout a future without green Like that is not the sole purpose When I'm writing down verses And going to these rehearsals And late night studio visits And tryna' pivot my social And really tryna' stay hopeful That in the end they actually get what I was tryna' say So when they say, "You coming?" I say ,"I ain't got time to play" 'Cause I got lives to change And I got hope to give They be like have some fun Like bro you still a kid Mama say release pressure you to serious Then my heart and mind intertwine with mysterious cosmos Which turns into the blessed gift that we call life But it's alright Hey Mr. Officer please let me be I'm just a black man tryna' make it to 23 We beat the same heart and we bleed the same blood So besides the way we look what's the difference in you and me? Like Hey Mr. Officer please give me a break There's only so much that a soul can possibly take I wish you would make sense of the reason for all yo' hate But my plate is full gotta get going can't end up late like Listening to "Amphetamine" fighting spirits with Smino Try to better my mood, throw on some Childish Gambino Starting to see the cracks through the paint little do he know Demons be fiending Running amuck Curses be nucking and bucking I just be running and ducking and diving Cutting and shucking and jiving rugs Tryna' get to the plug Tryna' get to the source of the power from up above Make everybody smile but nobody showing me love Fighting back the pain, negativity and the sorrow Just keep going keep on fighting don't forget to breathe Put my hand up just to see the light of tomorrow When I isolate my heart the only time I hear it beat So every time you feel like you no longer able to fight Just remember that the darker the dark the brighter the light Just relax lift your head spread your wings and soar Because you may have lost some battles but you're gonna win the war Sage
