[Verse 1]
I put out a song today
It got both love and hate
I only put my heart into it
My pulse got made into drum and ba**
I'm only expanding the human brain
I only brought love to the human race
I only brought joy to the underpaid
Your website rating was under 8
Well f** the numbers, I want reactions
Ive fought the power, I'm multi-facet
A trip to the Grammys they calling me cla**ic. I ordered my suit in an orderly fashion
It took two years to create my sh**
And you just sit back and rate my sh**
You only get love when you hate my sh**
And this is the thanks I get? Damn
[Hook]
We all got a got damn cross to bear

[Verse 2]
Moms had 3 kids to raise
And still went and got her masters
2 jobs so the rent was paid. And I quit school tryna be a rapper
Underground slave tryna keep his masters
Momma dead prayed tryna make it happen
And I can't say I don't believe in that
But I will say that I worked my a** off
Waited for the day I could take the backdoor
Never had the key had to break the latch off
Ducking the federali attacks with a bat in a backpack if they unattach attack dogs
Very last steps of a fallen man
A&Rs giving me the song and dance
How I'm gone tell mom dukes I failed
sh** I might be our only chance
Damn
[Hook]
We all got a got damn cross to near
(4x)
[Verse 3]
Young n***a done did the research. You ain't even know it
You just bought a new Che Guevara t-shirt. At least it ain't Ambercrombie
My ace boon coon organized the rally
You ain't even going. Damn
I went with the shepherd to walk the valley
My guardian gone like orphan Annie
I guess I'll fight for your child's equality, higher salary, dying economy
Cynic so nice what a bright anomaly. Threw a fist up tryna fight the cavalry
Damn
Who'll be the sacrifice in 3 days come back to life a new savior and king in his afterlife, accept fate do the same damn thing and sleep fast at night?
Well
[Hook]
We all got a got damn cross to bear
