Mind Level

They keep on talking but they better keep their mouth closed I was in highschool getting slept on Overlooked in the game like a cellphone But i gotta get the currency so i sail on Meant for the top but im sitting on my tailbone I was burdened by a past that i held on to People in your life not helping you Setting up wires you cant get through So you, gotta make a move Life is a chess game playing you Just stay cool, just do you And remember that sometimes you'll lose But don't ever let that be your roadblock Profiled in the the whip by 4 cops Recognized life doesn't care if its your shot You could end up on the news Saturday is blue, better pray your god will save you They've obsucered our view Money girls and shoes Not about when but why you do We all gotta die but we wanna take two Cause life ain't fair so we gotta break rules Watch yo neck if you ain't with the crew Cause the world's so cruel under white man's rule Keep my mind at the same height Cause they're blinding us in plain sight Keep my mind at the same height So i can tell when something ain't right What they do now is publicize Tryna send a message they're on the rise The black man killed within no disguise Still slave to the race that hope we die But we're blind, thinking which phone to buy While you gotta child in a world of odds A seed of a race that was meant to thrive The worst sound to ever hear is your momma cry, so Can you hear her crying? Every day we're dying In the country that we built cause the men in power lying Watching what they're making cause the time wont cease I pray for better days but thats hard to see A feen on every corner on every street A kid hit with a stray thinking why not me That could be the next malcom or ml king We're at war with ourselves and its on repeat He stands tall but not on his feet Another black man living on his knees The worlds so corrupt and never down for peace Living in the gunshots and hound by police Caught up in a cycle that cannot be reached Another black young man who still ain't free Keep my mind at the same height Cause they're blinding us in plain sight Keep my mind at the same height So i can tell when something ain't right
