I keep my foot on the pedal
They be like miles away
I got a vision for better
It be like mine to chase
I be damn if I'm a let 'em
Treat me like I'm a slave
Locked and loaded with the Panthers
You can go hide and wait
You can go hide and wait, I aint gone hide and wait
I know the law wanna get me ,
fake friends they all went against me
Uncle Toms they don’t like me,
Cause I don’t shuck and jive for Whitey
Tell my main girl to call me
Tell my side chick don't stall me
Told my lil niggas bout the party
told my Panthers get it ‘Started Started’
64 Benz old school,
Fox on yawl old new
Stream flow like Roku
Homegirl say “Ish so cool”
Activist on social ,
Fist up at the shows too
Studio to the Garden
No Starving I grow food.
I am a king
I am a god
I am the water
I am the blood
Black as the sun
Gold flowin' in a river, skies full of doves my god
Black as the sun my god
Shout out to the homies steady holdin' down the throne my god
Yeah this is the one my god
To all of my niggas that’s locked up
for the wrong thing cuz .
Stay strong
Yawl kings cuz,
All my brothers that’s in it
4.0’s y’all the winners
3.5 grams and spinners
Pinky ring, chicken dinner.
Ring side with a conscious queen
I dropped 7 picked up 14
Whipped a 1/2 key from a 1/4 key
Becky I was courting,
Draft laws for the hood I’m from
tryna stop all that chain gang,
got a suit and tie wit a hoodie on,
and a gat tucked for that, bang bang,
Activist in my entourage
Picket signs for a appearl
Huey P on a monologue
Gold on me like a pharo
Conservatives in they feelings
Cause I ain’t locked in they’re jail though
Tell the homies that’s still in there
That I’m out here living trill bro.
Raise up your daughters
As strong as your sons
Honor your fathers,
Fight for their loss
Black is a virtue
We are as one,
The truth
