Colorado

Lyrics

[Verse] To all the people tryna change But lack in motivation Hold your head Cause I myself was in that situation All it takes is confidence And some determination And maybe help from someone else But nigga that's okay just Let a woman in ya life And look at how she change it Let her speak And really listen to the things she's saying I can't imagine what y'all go through On a day to day Black women paved the way for me So man I'm prayin' for 'em I pray my son respects your essence Beyond physical I pray my daughter won't be harassed By no niggas who Think it's funny Or they do not know no better and Think it's cool to push up on her Tryna sweat her, man Shit The times that we livin' in This shit is a trip But really who are we kidding, man I turn on my TV And boy that shit made me nauseous But we can't go back to normal Cause our normal is toxic They're taking money out our schools And overfunding the police That's more bread for niggas' heads To be left dead in the streets That's more or less a death sentence For niggas who look like we Black, the most affected So when they kill me Don't bring up past convictions Or what was in my system Don't let them tell you it was just an Underlying condition Don't let them show my mugshot While he smiling in the picture And black on black crime Is not the issue Nigga you know they went and Made that shit up White parents watching the news They went and ate that shit up Now ignorant and misinformed Is how they raised they kids up And they looking at me crazy When I raise my fist up But my black skin is not a weapon It's not a threat It shouldn't infuriate you To the point of disrespect My black features ain't ya costume My black features are beautiful That's what we gotta feed the youth Any less is inexcusable And do you think I'm even caring What a Karen say? Shit, let me make one last point 'Fore I get carried away All lives can't matter until Black Lives Matter And that's the hill that I would die on Mother fuck Letting bygones be bygones On my grandmommy grave And that ain't nothing to lie on Go look up the school-to-prison pipeline 1 in 3 black men get locked up in they lifetime And don't get me started on the suffering Of our black women In our medical system Man this shit got me sick and How just based on our looks They be treating us different While y'all birthing our children They be moving like we Tolerate more pain Like we makin it up Don't that really sound fucked Man enough is enough Scared to get my girl pregnant But that should be a blessing Dawg we gotta do something But shit y'all get the message Yeah sadly Been beefin' with my auntie Jill Screaming at me and my moms Man she don't know how to chill All the cussing and the tension Had my grandma stressing Seen her cry real tears for the First time Still got to kick it though It wasn't the worst time But that was the last time That I seen her healthy Well, not that healthy But at least we got to pop out Reminiscing bout my B-M-Dub You know I used to pull the drop out Came back a few months and She was written in bed That fucked me up a whole lot Shit had me sick in the head If I could've traded places Have it be me instead It ain't even a question You know what I would've did You showed me Arizona Colorado, the Rocky Mountains Shit that niggas back home Couldn't even imagine Let me or Wock drive your whip From Longmont to LA AZ to LA That was me and Zay I guess what I'm tryna say This album I dedicate To you and your spirit And trust me I know you hear it Tryna accept that you ain't here Man this shit is just hard to swallow But I know you watching over From Jersey to Colorado [Adlibs] Nah, for real though I love you I know my flow is awkward has hell on this shit Should I do it over? It's good? Alright
