[00:01.19] |
Don't want the world to see me |
[00:08.50] |
Don't think that they'd understand |
[00:15.56] |
Everything's meant to be broken |
[00:22.56] |
Want you to know who I am |
[00:27.94] |
|
[00:34.22] |
I see myself in the mirror, but I don't see nothing |
[00:36.32] |
|
[00:40.61] |
If you understand what I'm seeing please tell me something |
[00:45.55] |
When you black, the media make you wonder why |
[00:54.60] |
I need to learn... |
[00:55.66] |
My lifetime came from struggle |
[01:00.03] |
All I've seen is what I follow |
[01:01.85] |
My skin color, automatic transaction |
[01:05.04] |
I'm already classified, no second chance |
[01:08.85] |
Taught to feel nappy hands, little grade |
[01:11.72] |
Why can't I sag when it's just a style |
[01:15.04] |
Grown beard, black hoodie, and I'm all good |
[01:18.48] |
People judge before they even know me |
[01:20.91] |
Stare at me, don't know I'm lonely |
[01:23.60] |
Outside's front these stares from police |
[01:26.47] |
And I get the bad rap because another man that just looks like me |
[01:31.80] |
Think life's a movie like Spike Lee |
[01:34.49] |
Too cool like Ice T |
[01:36.30] |
Yeah, I move with Life's Peace, and he move with the gun piece |
[01:39.68] |
So there's no peace |
[01:41.55] |
I gotta go to the hood, all I see is |
[01:44.18] |
Divided, the freshest schizophrenics |
[01:47.37] |
Men pimping women, people losing vision |
[01:49.93] |
Given choices before she started living |
[01:52.75] |
I hate myself |
[01:53.55] |
|
[01:54.18] |
Don't want the world to see me |
[02:01.25] |
Don't think that they'd understand |
[02:08.24] |
Everything's meant to be broken |
[02:12.49] |
Want you to know who I am |
[02:19.74] |
|
[02:22.99] |
I see myself in the mirror, but I don't see nothing |
[02:24.95] |
If you understand what I'm seeing please tell me something |
[02:28.45] |
When you black, the media make you wonder why |
[02:29.57] |
I just need my history, because I hate myself |
[02:30.90] |
It makes me sad to see pimping like I'm at a battle with my surroundings |
[02:32.15] |
Everybody do it, but not really |
[02:33.03] |
And I couldn't imagine my momma |
[02:33.40] |
Universal knowledge is karma |
[02:34.15] |
I see young girls hanging off the corner |
[02:37.15] |
And they searching for love in the wrong space |
[02:40.21] |
Gave her mind to a pimp, now he's changing faces |
[02:43.78] |
Sometimes I just wish I could trade places |
[02:47.56] |
I hate myself for being taught the roots of the hood |
[02:51.25] |
Which don't matter, no respect and no love |
[02:54.63] |
That got jailed for the real thugs |
[02:57.06] |
And I'm sorry to all the innocent in prison |
[03:00.00] |
You get a second chance when you free or in heaven |
[03:03.75] |
I promise if you really love and you watch your steps |
[03:07.88] |
Respect everybody, man you will get blessed |
[03:11.45] |
Get your point across without violence |
[03:14.22] |
The black dying by the gun, I'm tired of crying |
[03:16.78] |
I hate myself |
[03:18.22] |
|
[03:18.85] |
Don't want the world to see me |
[03:27.62] |
Don't think that they'd understand |
[03:33.37] |
Everything's meant to be broken |
[03:38.35] |
Want you to know who I am |
[03:43.07] |
|
[03:47.14] |
I'm ready to give up my old thoughts |
[03:50.20] |
I'ma move past what I saw |
[03:52.95] |
I'ma do what I want and be happy |
[03:55.82] |
I'm not gon' rob or kill to survive |
[03:59.64] |
Everything I've seen was a lie |
[04:02.14] |
I'm not ready to die, I love myself |
[04:05.64] |
I said... |
[04:08.01] |
Everything that I've seen was a lie |
[04:10.52] |
I'm not ready to die, I love myself |
[04:13.77] |
Break that mental |
[04:17.08] |
You know we are free now man |
[04:20.89] |
Break that, uh, mental blockage |
[04:23.77] |
Don't think too hard, free your mind |
[04:29.14] |
That's real life man |
[04:30.14] |
I just... you know speak for real |
[04:32.87] |
Shit, that really feel real shit, man you know |
[04:36.27] |
We all human, we all got questions |
[04:39.08] |
You know, I'm designed this way and I got questions |
[04:41.79] |
It's all love over here, you feel me? |
[04:44.66] |
|
[04:46.80] |
Like I said man, just livin' |
[04:53.19] |
Yeah, but then I hear me tho' |
[04:56.44] |
I said I'm ready to give up my old thoughts |
[05:00.38] |
I'ma move past what I saw |
[05:02.81] |
I'ma do what I want to be happy |
[05:05.19] |
I'm not gon' rob or kill to survive |
[05:08.07] |
Everything I've seen was a lie |
[05:09.95] |
I'm not ready to die, I love myself |
[05:17.75] |
But I don't see nothin' |
[05:22.94] |
If you hear what I'm sayin' please tell me somethin' |
[05:30.00] |
When you-, the media make you wonder why |
[05:36.94] |
I need to learn my history, because I hate myself |
