On the mixtape “Destiny” D-Mac describes the struggles for black men in the world. With assistance from Blade, they both explain their frustrations with police and racism.
[Intro: Judge]
In the case of The state of Florida vs George Zimmerman, the verdict we the jury find George Zimmerman not guilty
[Verse 1: D-Mac]
Cops give a damn about a negro
Pulla trigger, kill a nigga, he a hero
Man I can't breathe
My teeth feigning for something sweet
Shit I just want a Arizona to drink, a bag of skittles to eat
KD finna win MVP, Its halftime, and to past time
A walk to the store is how the world will be remembering me
Because I got followed, and wasn't even sending a tweet
You'll realize by the end of this beat
That I am Trayvon Martin, I am Freddie Gray
Eric Gardner, Michael Brown, each & everyday
No acting, this that Fred Hampton mentality bruh
Hope the angels looking after me bruh
Cover me and my little brother
God, the odd's are stacked against us cause of skin color
Fuck the world cause it never did love us
Paranoid when I walk the block
Gotta watch for ops, and watch for cops
Shit they killed my nigga D-Roy the same way that they murdered Walter Scott
Should I even leave the house or not? Someody
[Chorus: Blade]
Pray for me
I'm in these streets, pray for me
Im in these streets, pray for me
Cause I got beef, with niggas that's hating on me
And the police, so I gotta carry my heat, Pray for me
Pray for me…. Pray for me..Im in these streets pray for me
(Excerpt: Woman screaming Don't beat him up! Don't beat him up!)
Cause I got beef, with niggas that's hating on me
And the police, so I gotta carry my heat, Pray for me
[Verse 2: D-Mac]
Streets got no love for a nigga huh? take more than they ever give
Get a little money now they wanna kill you huh? why you can't let a nigga live?
White vs black and black vs. black
No matter if he got a badge or serve crack out traps
Nobody in the world got my back im trapped
My back been stabbed, this country's a joke but mac not laughing
Please pray for me
[Chorus: Blade]
Pray for me
I'm in these streets, pray for me
Im in these streets, pray for me
Cause I got beef, with niggas that's hating on me
And the police, so I gotta carry my heat, Pray for me
Pray for me…. Pray for me..Im in these streets pray for me
Cause I got beef, with niggas that's hating on me
And the police, so I gotta carry my heat, Pray for me
[Verse 3: Blade]
Murder after murder man this shit is real
Feeling like a modern day Emmit Till
Try to watch the news another brother killed
Will these crackers ever let a nigga live??
(Excerpt: Ice Cube)
The stereotype is that young, young blacks that dress a certain way is gangbangers, thats what we're dealing with, and its unjust
(Blade)
I smell the blood in the air
I saw the stains in the street
I feel the whips in the chains
I saw em hanging from trees
Nobody feeling our pain
Beat us then treat us like we ain't the same
Say change on the way but they telling me lies
Feel like no one's on my side
Pray for me
Nobody like my kind, and I don't know why (Please pray for me)
Some nights I cry, I could've lost my mind (Please pray for me)
Lord know's I try, so before I die
Pray for, Please pray for me, Please pray for me
