[Verse 1: Daniel Clark]
They murder kids
They murder kids here
Mid-West not acting on it
Better yet this country doesn't hear
New American Genocide
Just claimed my brother up in here
Might have called him a refugee
Based upon his black and nappy hair
Questions arise...
How real is your for real?
Like, really let's be honest, how f**ing real is real?
Better get protection dog, cause they f**ing drilling here
These homicides, 365, claiming lives everywhere
They run up in your crib, containing your lady and a brand new, love child to rise
All because you'd rather be shooting and mobbing than schooling guiding
So the child never sees light and He grows up in the dark, who winds up being like your sorry a**
Only knowing false realties, yet, keeping it real enough to recognize your flaws and write this verse for you're absent a**
And Father Time keep ticking
Tick
Ticking
[Hook: Daniel]
You don't know
You don't know my life
You don't know
You don't know my faith
You don't know
You don't know my life
You don't know
You don't know my
[Vere 2: Jerold Beene]
(Young and Free tho)
Disadvantaged from the start, man, like ain't it apparent
Talkin' Black Lives Matter won't get you far in white America
Wear this hoodie make me Trayvon
Sally Six, I might be Eric
If she decide to go out today then my sister might be Sarah
Let me spit it like this
Let's throw a gun into the scenario
Black man that's a criminal
White man good samaritan
Say you not racist but that unconscious bias so subliminal
It's been real for me
None of the books I ever right will be fictional
Why, I, gotta watch the way I talk, gotta watch the way I move, gotta watch the way I walk
Put caps on my horizon like the sky ain't big enough
Y'all ain't got no room for us, I be working twice as hard
I be peeping these disparities like ain't it apparent, you just murdered another human, plus that human was a parent
I know I ain't proving sh** no matter how I function
I know you rather not have my melanin in your junction
[Hook: Daniel]
You don't know
You don't know my life
You don't know
You don't know my faith
You don't know
You don't know my life
You don't know
You don't know my
[Verse 3: Daniel Clark]
I sold d** out my mama's basement
Moved weight in bases
Rent A Car from Avis
Picked out my playlist
Started bumping Fatigue just to hear how I'm feeling
Man, these pills hell of feeling
Damn, I'm questioning myself on the live
Like, if I take one more, will I live or will I die?
Damn, so I took it, anyway
I OD'd in the Backseat of a ford lost my focus
But what's it to the man anyway
Selling bags to dope feigns, grief in tight bundles
Rubber band together, in dis cashless jungle
See the young know no better
They know no better
Their Heart is restless, might snatch your necklace
And next thing, end up acting foul and reckless
To catch this, you goin' need to body bag this
This message, ain't really that hard to mess with
