lyrics

VERSE 1

It’s a mad world I can see (yeah)
They Problem with my genes
Its dangerous in these streets
When the danger is the police
When they aim you die in your teens
If your black they leave you in peace
With a head stone that’s why I’m head stoned
It’s like death row they’re like freeze
I can see the way they look at me (repeat)
They’re judging me first they’re throwing the book at me (repeat)
Hey that’s white supremacy hidden behind eyes it’s jealousy
Why it gets to me I should be used to that by now they bribed the referee
They spat in my face they’re burning effigies
They say hallelujah Jesus coming to kill the enemy
Pouring the Hennesey threatening like when they killed Kennedy
Leaving us scared indefinitely
I don’t want no one ahead me
I am the top of my pedigree to fight you I ain’t got the energy
We need love peace and harmony that is a beautiful recipe
Keep your armyies and your big guns your killing our memories
We got work to do and I got sons and they have a destiny
I’m building my empires from the ground up I’m leaving a legacy
For my ancestors that once lived I honour you specially
God wants us to become love so he’s testing me heavily
Till I'm resting heavenly and life is the death of me It’s all just energy

CHORUS

Too many mother lovers here just wanna make their chain glow in a Winnebago don’t wanna get paid slow
fuck the whole world because its free and they say so
They just wanna live their life Fuck about no halo

VERSE 2

Who made the plants illegal
Who made your hearts so evil
They wanna imprison the people
For living on earth when it’s equal
Who gave them the crown we don’t need you
The food shelter waters free nobody should get between you
From the heavens to the womb then they stick you with needles
Drug dealers on tap, you selling they better not see you
If it’s good for me why you forcing it it’s clear it’s see through
You said there’s too many people on earth then we do it medieval
And you go first we’re in a system that’s restrictive and it don’t work Meditation and power plants is the old earth
That’s how we live with intention then we go in the dirt
The whole world needs to learn your purpose is to serve
Whether you sweep the road burning bodies then put them in urns
It makes no difference if you wore rags it’s not a concern
We’re leaving in the same way, don’t waste your time here now stunting
How are serving the world the best way you can if the rest has nothing I think that they got it confused nobody’s watching the news
Every Instagrammer reporting and they do it for views
She want Fendi she want Gucci with the beautiful shoes
With her hands up like don’t shoot me I got too much to lose
