Anno Domini - Tell me lyrics

[Verse 1] Growing up your life could go two ways. Education or be gone, they looking at you sideways. Taught not to love ain't nobody feel me. These streets is hungry and all these white people tryna feed me. Stereotypical Life condition critical Never looking back and we ain't waiting we just pick them up. Leave them in the dust leave them in the dust every stereotype i gotta duck. Thank god for opportunities And we provide eulogies Not working towards humanity Blur out the memories And ignore them for as long as possible. Never looking forward to facing obstacles You can't sit there waiting for changes. We ain't looking for no goddamn arrangements. Cops everyday they ain't no strangers. Do something instead of lurking for paychecks Hook: What would you tell me? What would you tell me? my skin brown as osama's they gonna k** me. If i am jaywalking they gonna arrest me. If i am waving a fake gun they gonna shoot me. What would you tell me? What would you tell me? I wake up to madness all around me. If i make a clock they gonna suspend me. If i was white they gonna treat me as family [Verse 2] The devil lies within america. Got us hoping for a miracle. People praying to get out of the ghetto they spiritual. And i am just hoping that we stay spiritual. n***as shooting each other everyday and we getting used to it. Not willing to shred light once in a while the news do it. But Once in a while ain't enough. Ring these bells make sure these people waking up. Cause they been sleeping for way too long. The truth being dealt get it back to where it belongs. Why you f**ing hiding? Why you f**ing hiding? The media don't give a f** its a wave that they riding. I gotta go through this each and every day. Paved this lane and i promised to make a way. But My job right here ain't done. Changes happen overtime and we just begun Hook(x2): What would you tell me? What would you tell me? my skin brown as osama's they gonna k** me. If i am jaywalking they gonna arrest me. If i am waving a fake gun they gonna shoot me. What would you tell me? What would you tell me? I wake up to madness all around me. If i make a clock they gonna suspend me. If i was white they gonna treat me as family
