[Chorus]
At times I feel like we lost hope
I turn on the news and they just keep on killin' Black folks (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm duckin', dodgin' police (Yeah, ah-ah, yeah)
I'm duckin', dodgin' police (Yeah, ah-ah, yeah)
[Verse 1]
I just gotta make it today (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Keep my soul, I can't be a slave
Changed my life and took it all away
Drippin' 'til my well runs dry
All I see is homicide, feel it when my momma cry
You know what the mission is, don't know how I feel inside
We was always down to ride, if I slide my ni**as slide
If you ain't a ni**a gettin' money, you won't feel the vibe
Runnin' the streets
I've been up so many nights 'cause I can't sleep
Friends turn to foes but I'm in too deep
So many lost souls got mе dealin' with grief
Mm-mm, mm-mm
[Chorus]
At times I feel likе we lost hope
I turn on the news and they just keep on killin' Black folks (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm duckin', dodgin' police (Yeah, ah-ah, yeah)
I'm duckin', dodgin' police (Yeah, ah-ah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
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, yeah
See how we livin' it's like 3D, yeah
Got what I want, then I got what I need, yeah
Stand up ni**a that never been on his knees, yeah
And what's faith if you ain't willin' to leap? Yeah
I see it clear, they skippin' real ni**as like a leap year, yeah
Yeah, they hate to see a ni**a on his feet
Probably why a Karen goin' viral every week
That's why the cops starin' like food stuck in my teeth
Mm-mm, mm-mm
[Chorus]
At times I feel like we lost hope
I turn on the news and they just keep on killin' Black folks (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm duckin', dodgin' police (Yeah, ah-ah, yeah)
I'm duckin', dodgin' police (Yeah, ah-ah, yeah)
