[Intro]
Still waiting on the heater Still waiting on the ether
Still waiting on the re-up I don’t wanna be here
Systemic racism got me pulling out my hairs

[Verse]
Affordable health care spit me out at 26
Took a break, went broke, filled up pockets
online products
Commissioned artwork, I paint you anew
Locked up, I got a tight coil.
A strange fruit that might spoil
Klansmen planning to hang
It’s nothing I’m okay but I ain’t who can relate?
You considered suicide but you stayed
Listening to JD like Money Ain’t No Thang
Listening to Jay Dee like Slum would never end
Conspiracies ain’t fake, who gave bibles to slaves?
No more bottom of the rank, deodorize all the stank
My threshold for fuck shit
is shorter than my lunch breaks
Unstoppable like Bank$ ripping “Victory” takes
Shells like Michelangelo shrooming out to space
What if I...
Stayed rooted when Things Fall Apart in my hands
I rose over thorns
The concrete was in the way air…
Caught me up I gotta glare
It looked like the sun, it burned through my genes
Who stole oil from Africa & bombed in our names?
Death toll steep & the pharmacy still paid
Release like I been in the hospital for weeks
Holistic medicine pended the pain, I think dependent
on fame to bury the cranes knocking self-esteem I vent
I scream You don’t know what I been through
How dem pop up ads know my folk?
Glasses so strong you don’t know what I’ve seen
I write in notes til my neck start to strain
Or freestyle, peep the veins as rhymes fall in place
I done seen so much hate my truth feel like complaints
The marches drained us, margins tamed us
A mugshot minus mace, I stayed today
Shiny suit fade, I shopped at Goodwill ashamed
My worries to God I don’t see on this plane
ROBALU mold a phrase into single you could play
Poetry is wrestling I done slammed & I placed
Oppression dishing pressure but I’m stretching for the pace
Daunie hit me up, I’m flying to LA
Niggas in Paris Clean For 2015 Who remix Yeezy & Jay-Z
Who heard entertainment? Who heard education?
I dapped up Black Ice for stories I was raised on
Tweeting Black Thought “You unlynchable, black, stay strong”
Why - free healthcare so far? Hospice bill so much?
Couldn’t afford a casket them ashes in a tub
Couldn’t afford grasses so I curl up like a bud & bust
Richmond For Change I came back changed
I know Capitol Hill sold to banking
I know suckers that budget cutting the creative
I know you clutching who you want to be cuffing
When the flamer curling papers
You type to instigate at heaven’s gates
I fight the devil with words & it's great
Deconstruct bars like prison breaks
I’m a N-E-R-D, Virginia cleansing at the winner table
Bastard casting fake emcees to the lake
Step into your gift like you hate Christmas
But missed it when it went missing
