At times I feel like we lost hope I turn on the news and they just keep on killing black folks I'm ducking dodging police I'm ducking dodging police I just gotta make it today Keep my soul I can't be a slave Changed my life and took it all away Dripping til my well runs dry All I see is homicide feel it when my mama cry You know what the mission is Don't know how I feel inside We was always down to ride If I slide my niggas slide If you ain't a nigga gettin money you won't feel the vibe Running the streets I been up so many nights cuz I can't sleep Friends turn to foes but I'm in to deep So many lost souls got me dealing with grief Mhmm hmm mmm mmm At times I feel like we lost hope I turn on the news and they just keep on killing black folks I'm ducking dodging police I'm ducking dodging police I had a son to feed ran the streets to water my seed Ran with hustlers and thieves roll up our sleeves and see vv's My life a movie but no pg, ya See how we living it's like 3D, ya Got what I want, then I got what I need Stand up nigga that never been on his knees And what's faith if you ain't willing to leap, ya I see clear, they skipping real niggas like a leap year, ya They hate to see a nigga on his feet Probably why a Karen going viral every week That's why the cops staring like food stuck in my teeth Mhmm mmm mmm mmm At times I feel like we lost hope I turn on the news and they just keep on killing black folks I'm ducking dodging police I'm ducking dodging police
