Lyrics

They don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat

They don't want to see a young black man succeed

They don't want to see me take my brothers out of the streets

They don't want me

They don't want me to sleep, they don't want me to dream

They don't want to see my people livin' good and at ease

They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys

We ain't never free

I'm grateful for life and the prize I reap

Every day and every night, I get on my knees

And I pray for my guys and they families

Hope the Lord hear me

I can only imagine the pain and the grief

From the innocent mothers with all the shit they had to see

When you lose the ones you love to the fuckin' police, it cuts deep

When Heaven calls and the angels do they job

We start to question God like we could play His part

It gets so fuckin' hard, we can't escape the dark

It's hatred in my heart for the ones who left this scar

But everything will be alright soon

I just wanna let you know ain't nothin' like you

We live and die, that's always been the cycle

I promise it wasn't about you

When you make it to Heaven, give me your eyes, dude

Watch over me closely 'til it's my time too

The only thing I can do is turn to the Bible
