Living in a world full of lies
Black child in a unwanted territory
Out here tryna survive
Getting out of the hood is our only priority
Everybody tryna stay alive
Small bits of the truth fill the sky
The world is the president's prerogative
tryna real hard to keep us down
half positive half negative
it doesn't matter in every town
brothers n sisters in jail for nothing
Every city has gun violence
living a cold world in silence
The day I went silent was 9 years ago
it happened when my grandma passed
cherishing our memories
Those memories with her still last
We had that parent-child chemistry
still guiding me up to this day
keeping my silence to myself
