Ma'am? Shots fired Shots fired Shots fired Shots fired I woke up, ate my breakfast, a plate full of posts and texts Saw somebody else got shot up, This time by some cops in Texas or Virginia Can't remember, can't keep count They rope a doping, tryna wear down my emotions B-but if they just abided they'd be cool If they say "jump" you say "how high?" You know what's wrong, You say alright, and don't you look them in the eyes Be quiet, boy, sound familiar huh boy? (Pause) Or you'll find yourself quote-unquote martyred for the cause A mural on the wall A hashtag for teen white kids to troll for angry response It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out You just another angry nigga shoutin', what you pressin'? Why you poutin'? Why we singing 'We Shall Overcome' in the 2000s? Devil's tryna turn this car around, But we've been asking "are we there yet?" for the last 400 miles Like fuck, damn, shit, wow It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out Like damn, shit, fuck, wow It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out (Alright) It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out Woke up in a cold sweat, drenched like I'm Ronald in a Genesis Spent and I haven't even been awake for minutes And in these times sometimes I think it's better with the religion An invisible man and he can quantify the pain we're given Survivin', 'cause survivin' ain't the same as really livin' Teach the babies that, please educate the children Freeze, now they on the concrete pleadin' for forgiveness I don't know what kind of litmus test this shit is, but dig this It beats your body down and straight burns your body out So you're wasting time just caterin' to pain, party down Gettin' through the day-to-day to maintain is hard as hell It ain't fuckin' fair, It's not just "get over it" over or get over it sober Nobody's past the quotas and nobody's past agendas Just hard to sing some lullabies to sleep When they pumping in your, pumping in your, pumping in your jeep jeep Shots fired, shots fired It ain't I'm not a warrior, bitch I'm Dora Milaje My mother was a freedom fighter like writer Aja Monet I'm a well-seasoned veteran no way, I don't need OJ to get off on some murders I need veteran racists off pay and in jail But the bastards seem to linger like some chemtrails Children called they mamas while they stared at daddy's entrails C'mon, how much more evidence you want? You think you could use your privilege like a human shield in front? Without the Pepsi, miss me I pray the bullets miss me, but you not about that life So let me tell you how this shit be It's like fuck, damn, shit wow It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out I said it's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out It's like damn, shit, fuck, wow It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out It's bound to wreck your body or straight burn your body out
