OG Maco - Do Better lyrics

[Verse 1:] The world been unforgiving so it's fitting that we are It's hopeless souls who're gifted but won't make it off that block And mothers know to tell their sons be weary of the cops Skin locked, friends lost, the picket fence was never ours Swapped the white for grayish bars, child time, wreck time Deion stuck in AR Life is like a box of chocolates but these ba*tards spit in ours Crackers k** in cold blood, they just let Darren Wilson walk If we go grab kalashnikovs, we're savage brutes, they'll pick us off Trayvon couldn't have a hoodie on Kimani Gray was empty handed Lil' Tamir was only 12 when they k**ed him November 22nd Cameron Tillman, Sean Bell This ain't nothin' new to us New Emmett Tills, you know the drill They're lynchin' still, just usin' guns The biggest threat is our brown skin With mouths filled and worth somethin' All they want for us is crack houses and a hearse, somethin' All these rich n***as in the world still [?] I won't play the hype and just blame whites We gotta build somethin' Yeah I know we've been thuggin' But that sh** is why we've been strugglin' Repair, replace, let's heal youngins Our daddy said let's live abundant [Interlude:] You know what I'm sayin'? Man it's n***as out here just doin' sh**. You feel me, n***a? Go do somethin', n***a. Grab a young man, tell him do better [Verse 2:] The drug is life, f** pills, homie Have you ever even left your hood? What's good, you need a trip don't you?
