[HOOK: KAIN]
I'm trynna keep these demons off of my back
But they ain't letting up
They got a hold on a n***a take control of a n***a when you giving up
I gotta fight it…
Cuz if I go then we all gone the day I go my whole team gone and ain't nothing they can do about it
[VERSE 1: KAIN]
Look! I pulled up to the valet
They like who's this n***a in a benz just a n***a and some friends
Still a n***a if I pulled up in Hyundai
I wonder what would Walter Scott say
If he could tell his story I bet, he'd tell us how the cops ain't sh**
And how the media portrays our people we the bad guys but they all so evil
Damn, I wonder what Trayvon would tell me
If I was walking through a gated community and if a cracka seen me lookin black in a hoodie
Or my hoodie all black I wonder what they would do to me
Where did we go?!
I'll ask mike brown when I see him I bet he would know
Is it crazy that a n***a can't walk to the store and feel safe going home
I ain't never seen nothing like this, I just reach into my pocket start to typing up a list
Of the sh** that I feel but no I can't share
They done told us all that it's here, and the system used it ain't fair....
If it was, then a cracker shooting up a movie theatre would get a worse sentence than a n***a sellin d**
But the money ain't goin to the crackers so they give him 30 years and the shooter gets love
Not love like a regular sentence but love cause he never gets a regular sentence
We all plead crazy they look at his history
Then they swear he was just young and senseless
Defenseless even though he had a family
When half black men don't even know they daddy
They moms can't raise them cause they so emotional
Then we grow up angry and unapproachable….now
They wonder why we all ain't sociable?
You can't breath when society's haunting you
So please don't take this wrong how I'm approaching you…
Sir I just want to talk I'm not approaching you
Please don't take this wrong how I'm approaching you…
Look I just wanna talk I'm not approaching you BANG!

[VERSE 2: KAIN]
I tried to tell them we're the most hated
They don't care about us cause our work is done
We built white houses for the white powers now the white powers own our houses please stand up
Damn, we can't stand up…
We're too busy trying to put ourselves on
When some sh** go down instead of trying to stop it we're just reaching for our phones?
What the f** is going on?!
n***a world star don't pay you…and that Instagram it won't change you
I pull up to the valet…
They like who's this n***a in a benz just a n***a and some friends still a n***a if I pull up in a Hyundai
They don't get it
I pull up to the valet…
They like who's this n***a in a benz just a n***a and some friends still a n***a if I pull up in a Hyundai..
They gone look at you the same way… (x2)
