How I keep from goin' under[00:00:02]
Yeah[00:00:04]
It's like a jungle outside[00:00:05]
Sometimes I wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:00:06]
We scream Black Lives Matter but we still toting ladders[00:00:10]
Watching our own brothers trying to get at us[00:00:13]
Dreams get shattered when a scene full of crackers[00:00:15]
And they charge you with some sh*t you ain't do[00:00:17]
You like what happened[00:00:19]
We go get lawyers to[00:00:20]
Say sh*t we don't know how to talk[00:00:21]
They told us to hate[00:00:23]
Each other before we learn how to walk[00:00:23]
Mama taught you how to[00:00:25]
Fight fight before she taught you how to write right[00:00:26]
And daddy locked down in the cell can't kiss you night night[00:00:28]
Monsters under the bed every night feel like it's fright night[00:00:30]
Coke fumes in the air mama holding on that pipe tight[00:00:33]
And you catchin' contact but never mind that[00:00:35]
In a world where Black[00:00:37]
Is wrong and white right it's like a combat[00:00:38]
We go to war for our freedom they say we equal[00:00:40]
I used to wanna play like Randall and be an Eagle[00:00:42]
I used to play the quarterback my dog would go receiver[00:00:45]
That was 'til the ball got[00:00:48]
Flat by a d**e needle on the pavement[00:00:49]
It's amazin' this environment we was raised in[00:00:51]
On them papers one mistake and I'm gettin' caged in[00:00:53]
You gotta feel me feel like the system tryna kill me[00:00:56]
Got arrested and the charges F1 for popping wheelies stay woke[00:00:58]
It was designed for us to fail[00:01:01]
We still prevail through the hell yeah[00:01:04]
Can you believe it[00:01:07]
We're still undefeated[00:01:09]
Though it's designed for us to lose[00:01:11]
We still make it through nothing's impossible[00:01:14]
Believe it we're still undefeated[00:01:18]
Picture me ten years younger with some tats on my face[00:01:21]
Takin' a bunch of Xannys with the strap on my waist[00:01:24]
Pointin' it at the camera like mama ain't teach me manners[00:01:26]
Tryna see mo' bills like I'm headed to Alabama no wait[00:01:29]
I can't judge them I'm just trying to understand them[00:01:32]
'Cause I used to pop Percs pourin' purple in my Fanta[00:01:34]
Had me swerving in my Phantom like I'm runnin' from my dreams[00:01:36]
I was headed for the slammer I was plantin' all the seed[00:01:39]
For them to bury me I had[00:01:42]
My whole family mad at me[00:01:43]
Fell deep in love with the game and it married me[00:01:45]
Judge said I'll give you a chance just don't embarrass me[00:01:47]
Motivatin' these little n**gas is like a charity[00:01:50]
Community service even though they knew we was workin'[00:01:52]
They did this to me on[00:01:54]
Purpose 'cause I ain't movin' too perfect[00:01:55]
I stay away from them[00:01:57]
Clowns watch how I move through the circus[00:01:58]
'Cause they be weighing[00:01:59]
You down even some of them dudes in your circle stay woke[00:02:00]
Though it's designed for us to fail yeah[00:02:02]
We still prevail through the hell yeah[00:02:06]
Can you believe it[00:02:09]
We're still undefeated[00:02:10]
Though it's designed for us to lose[00:02:12]
Nothing nothing nothing's impossible no[00:02:15]
Believe it we're still undefeated[00:02:20]
How can I pledge allegiance to the flag[00:02:23]
When they killin' all our sons all our dads[00:02:25]
I come from a place when[00:02:27]
You kill your own brother you can brag[00:02:29]
Like he got bodies but that's a fad no that's a fact[00:02:30]
You screamin' out at your corner n**ga that's a trap[00:02:33]
Screamin' out at your homie[00:02:36]
N**ga that's a rat[00:02:37]
Catch a case with him bet he crack[00:02:38]
The odds against you and they double stacked stay woke[00:02:40]
Bought my mom a new crib that's some gangster sh*t[00:02:43]
Niece and nephews walking 'round wearing minks and sh*t[00:02:46]
Kept the hood motivated this the thanks I get[00:02:48]
Try to Ja Rule the kid on[00:02:50]
Some Wanksta sh*t[00:02:52]
But that's impossible 'cause I'm unstoppable[00:02:53]
The label can't drop me n**ga I'm too valuable[00:02:55]
You thought I would lose but I won and that bothered you[00:02:58]
Still movin' 'round in Philly just like the mobsters do[00:03:00]
When I talked to 'em and[00:03:03]
Hov they said I'm proud of you[00:03:04]
You stood tall back when[00:03:06]
Everyone doubted you[00:03:07]
My reply is I did what I gotta do[00:03:08]
And I need that verse 'fore you retire too[00:03:12]
Jumping all the obstacles I'm way too wavy[00:03:14]
Said I would lose boy you way too crazy[00:03:16]
Pick and choose either fame[00:03:18]
Or the money fame will make you crazy[00:03:19]
And the money will make them[00:03:21]
Bad b**ches say[00:03:22]
Thank you baby[00:03:23]
You're welcome[00:03:24]
