We never had a chance to begin with
Yall had a chance since the beginning
Yall want to hate us when we start winning
But when we complain about fixed odds yall get offended
Nah, I dont get it
When we get riled up, you ask police to defend u
Knows what's best for us didn't ask for our opinion
When we talk civill, you make us put a pen in it
Nah, I don't get it
Hate runs wild through your veins like a horse
Know we running into trouble so you say steady your course
U giving us options like we really have a choice
Yall got guns like the NRA and yall say we makin all the noise
Nah man, cuz I dont understand how 1 race could have that much control over men
You make tolerable decisions now, thst manifest into terrible decisions that your children have withstand
Is all apart of plan, you inconsiderate bastards in tailored suits
Want to go to war but not wearing the boots
Quick to keep score when you got something to lose
And your hands are still dirty if you told him to shoot
I know life aint perfect, but dont make it harder than it have to be
I dont care if you're mad at me cuz i know who i am and who i have to be
So if you're harassing me telling me to quit it
U can stop now cuz i think i truly get it
