20 Shots

Whoever thought I'd have to fight for my life's worth?
I guess living is a job and this how life work

Cuz we ain't born with our rights we gotta fight first
They backstab you then say you gotta knife

How you tell a nigga freeze then you leave em froze?
Like we don't see the bigger picture cuz you switched ya pose

How the fuck would you feel if we switched the roles?
Them blue lives starting to look like some liquid gold

Wonder what you tell yourself when you all alone
You just following protocol so you can make it home

Cuz all us niggas do is March or either make a song
Shoot a ball steal car or try to break in homes

You ain't never had to fight just so you could live
You ain't never had to take just so you could give

Shit so fuckin hard to stomach rather lose a rib
How the fuck you tell a mother she gone lose her kid?

How the fuck you tell a child that they daddy gone?
Then walk up in yo crib and tell yours daddy home

You don't see these fuckin tears?
You don't hear this fuckin fear?
Is this message not clear?
It went in and out yo ears?

Work my fuckin ass off to get half of what you got
I can't even make no moves
Cuz I know that'll get me shot

20 shots or 20 years you better fuckin choose
This game of life feel like it's rigged for me to fuckin lose

It's to the point where I can't even watch the fuckin news
United Slaves of America
Donald Trump the Narrator

Cuz 1 shot just ain't enough
2 shots ain't get it done
3 shots could prolly kill em but let's empty out the gun
4 shots for being black
5 shots for tryna run
6 shots for being a threat
7th shot was just for fun
8 shots cuz i'm scared
9 shots cuz you there
10 shots cuz of yo skin
11 shots cuz of yo hair
12 shots cuz they ain't fond of the shit that you wear
Now it's time to reload
13 cuz you bold
14 cuz I hate you
15 since I chased you
16 just to see how long it take you
17 cuz I can
18 wasn't planned
19 might as well
20 cuz I'll make bail

They killing niggas for sport
Hands up or hands down these days
Can't walk around the town these days
