(Real Nigga)

Wanna keep you alive
Let's monitor the vital signs
The world was never designed
For the "Real nigga" to be on the rise or incline
They only suggest the
Ominous future
The Real Nigga must maintain to remain
Our survival is crucial
The streets check your heart
But for the world we must remain to play
Our part
Prefer us to breathe over another black family to grieve
Black men act myopic
Who has the mental capacity or fortitude to induce the stopping.
Our pulse and
respiratory rate is dropping
Once they kill the mind can be too long before we flat line
In recollection
What did you leave behind?
You didn't lead,  you're dead and you left your children blind
Your whole life will play again through them in rewind
