Niggas be thinkin' I'm deep, intelligent, fool by my college degree My IQ is average, there's a young lady out there, she way smarter than me I scroll through her timeline in these wild times and I started to read She mad at these crackers, she mad at these capitalists, mad at these murder police She mad at my niggas, she mad at our ignorance, she wear her heart on her sleeve She mad at the celebrities, lowkey I be thinkin' she talkin' bout me Now I ain't no dummy to think I'm above criticism So when I see somethin' that's valid I listen, but *** There's somethin' about the queen's tone that's botherin' me She strike me as somebody blessed enough to grow up in conscious environment Where parents and nobody struggle for liberation And in turn they provide her with a perspective, an awareness of the system And a fairness that afflicts them, and a clearance Understanding of what we gotta do to get free And the frustration that feels the worst seems to come from the fact that most people don't see Just cause you woke and I'm not, that *** ain't no reason to talk like you better than me How you gon' lead when you attackin' the very same niggas that really do need The *** that you sayin', instead of conveying you holier, come help us get her to speed ***, it's a reason, it took like 200 years for our ancestors just to get free These shackles be lockin' the mental way more than the physical I look at freedom like trees, can't grow up for us like overnight Hit the ghetto and slowly start plantin' your seeds *** is the point of you preaching your message to those that already believe what you believe I'm on some ***in' retreat, most people is sheep You got all the answers, but how you gon' reach If I could make one more suggestion respectfully, I would say it's more effective to treat People like children, understanding the time and love and patience that's needed to grow This change is inevitable, but ain't none ever seen this before Therefore we just gotta learn everything as we go I struggle with thoughts on the daily, feel like a slave to somehow to save And no coins to buy his way up out of slavery, thinkin' just maybe In my pursuit to make life so much better for me and my babies The very same people that look at me like I'm some kind of a hero Because of the zeros that's next to the commas But look here, I promise I'm not who you think Ran into this nigga outside of the store yesterday He said somethin' that had me like, wait He was like, ho, appreciate what you been doin', my nigga, that's real But damn, why I feel faker than snow on a bluff Well, maybe cause deep down I know I ain't doin' enough Can you walk with me, I hope we'll find the reason why we have to zap, go on, cry Painful memories, *** up the vibe, though I be tryin' to let the time heal my mind I was once a child, I've gotten older, still I know I'm just a boy in God's eyes Fill me up with wisdom, there's some courage, plus endurance to survive, help my doubts
