Lyrics
All I ever wanted was to make it put my city on
My **** on
A very long time I been waiting
All I ever needed was agreement for the people to believe in
My achievements should be Grammy-nominated
All I ever get is dismissed take offense to the shit got a gift
Soon enough I'll be debated
As one of the greatest up there wit top dawg
Or maybe Dreamville
I never had the opportunities of most folk
A **** got a dream still
They say A dream is false reality
Most nights I don't sleep well
Take it how you want it too misunderstood
To please someone's needs
I'm still hurting let me grieve
Bad apples turn rotten from the tree
It's the roots learning life as I speed
Watching my day pass
On merry go rounds
We all die eventually gon'
Marry the ground
So I'm observing my surroundings
Quiet quiet quiet
Quiet down kids
The choir in the back singing background vocals
Back against the wall like a bad kid in recess
Its bout time I go global
Supposed to get support
But they use me for disposal
Well I'm taking out the trash
The hardest part of moving on
Is you can't erase the past
And if I die without the prize
Don't cry I'm leaving cash
All the lines been blurred
For your eyes its a cold cold world
All I ever wanted was to make it put my city on
My **** on
A very long time I been waiting
All I ever needed was agreement for the people to believe in
My achievements should be Grammy-nominated
All I ever get is dismissed take offense to the shit got a gift
Soon enough I'll be debated
Something like politics
Voting for common sense
Voting for Donald is
The complete opposite
You know the media's the mass
Got you washed thinking a rapist isn't bad
Racist man
We need to erase the man in the White House
The irony it's only been one black in it
Time to diminish the image of oppression
For instance
The only race is a finish
I catch a case get a sentence
You catch a case it's dismissive
How can we change that's a given
Stop thinking skin make us different
Stop using power abusive
How this yo land you intruded
Damn
Damn
All I ever wanted was to make it put my city on
My **** on
A very long time I been waiting
All I ever needed was agreement for the people to believe in
My achievements should be Grammy-nominated
All I ever get is dismissed take offense to the shit got a gift
Soon enough I'll be debated
