[Chorus]
[?]
They say I'm drunk now
Crazy locked up
20 to 5
Guess the suicide watch tonight
Hand me the shoe lace brother
A razor to cut my wrist
Watch, bleed or hurt me
[?]
Out on the streets now, scheming for something to eat
Turn your motherf**in' TV off
See this ain't part of the program
They got you transfixed now
So turn your motherf**in' TV off
Claimin' that that's the way it is
They talkin' sh** now
So turn your motherf**in' TV off
[VERSE 1: Jimblah]
I turn that page cuz
Burn that break
[?]
Hold up! what you thought?
That I drink all day and smoke weed
Proceed, thats my advantage
Make do with the cards that I'm handed
[?]
[Chorus]
[VERSE 2: Jimblah]
Brothers take their life
Tell me what it means if suicide is an option
Whats the cost of our problems
A black boy in a system designed for him to not exist in
Seems prison's a better place for us
Initiated in the cold streets and afraid of what I become
And mum's on d**
And dad gone left us
I dont know where my sista is, she pregnant
15 and, that's normal
And my cousin, he out on the mish now
Sniff petrol to get by
My purpose (my purpose)
You tell me
Money on my mind
When i roam these streets
I failed school
Whats it for me
See you getting a respect for the ones who teach us
Like what do you mean
Im sick and tired of these dumb f**s
Telling me exactly who i should be
Preach, cousin we can
March right, left right
Bear with me brother man we
Strengthen numbers we can win this fight
The struggle is ours and what don't k** us can only make us stronger right
So stand the f** up lets do this you got this leave em behind
With the mouth hanging right open like “what the f** just happened”
Against all odds here now, so all that other sh** don't matter
[Chorus]
