"Why only 24 in a day?" "Why 365 a year?" 'Cos I know I didn't choose that sh** That sh** was chose before I was here Think it's your land all you want Know the reason they blasting guns If you want food then you need the funds They don't run around banging for f**ing fun f** being white, I'm nothing You say you balling, you stuntin' See I ain't throwing money b**h that's like throwing me Only reason's we dying You live your life inside the last Go to school, go to work then die Believe in the guy, never wonder why Never think about space, never think about time My heart's beating too fast Tryna catch my breath but I can't Wake up as soon as I see the sun 'Cos wasting seconds, I can 'Cos d**h's around every corner While you're worried about that mortgage I'm smiling ear to ear Whilst you slipping b**h and you falling I say motherf** your dollars I say motherf** your college I say motherf** every year you waste Thinking that you'll gain in that knowledge [Hook] This land ain't your land This land ain't my land See brother's dying See mother's crying From the burning forest To the poisoined waters This land was made for you and me
