about

When Black people die at the hands of the state and the most consistent response to our pain is a call to stop reacting to violence with violence. Why?

lyrics

Verse 1
my clique go one way, that’s my way, don’t try shit
like peaceful solutions but settle for violence
I shook the blueprint, yo bloopers go viral
I could reduce you to dust for my vinyls
Go stupid, go psycho, my chevy albino
you levy you taxing for weak shit
I’m wino for riesling,
moscato and pino, I’m Rih Rih,
leaving your place with a glass for the vino
Devito on my Danny, always sunny out where I reside
I deliver crack, been earning sentences like 25
finna hit that 2-7 and boy it’s been a ride
been a joy to make the girlies glisten right between their thighs
I’m player baby what can I say
I would hate me too but every dog has its day, hey
She would let me [gasp] if I ask
That ain’t a flex, it’s just a statement of fact

Hook
Everything was all good till that shit went left
And when that shit went left, I retraced my steps
when I retraced my steps, I had to catch that wreck
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but you gon’ catch this left

Verse 2
say my nigga what’s tact when your block’s the pot they piss in
put the fire in desire, maybe flames will make em listen
We wouldn’t have to light it up with better politicians
I’m not inciting riots, I’m getting in where I fit in
Ain’t got shit in the kitchen
Babylon on your phone screen
White folks in my text and they tryna act like they know me
they married to the movement but somehow now they got they cold feet
toe to toe with my homeys
til we shoulder to shoulder,
that’s my own dream
I know my enemy I know my weakness
I know timidity could never stop this dreaming
I know two is always better than is one
it’s fuck 12 til the battle is done
we don’t battle for funds
we don’t belittle for fun
we don’t deliver for the middle
choose a side and get tough
clench your fist if it’s up
never fold if you’re true
and know I got your fucking back until we get our just due

Outro:
Everything was all good (or was it?) x8
