[Chorus]
I don't know what it takes
My life they want to take
This world is full of hate
Not too long before I break
I don't know what it takes
My life they want to take
This world is full of hate
Not too long before I break
[Verse 1]
You see the faces of my people
We are oppressed by the evil
They tell us life will soon be equal
They tell us all to just stay peaceful
That talk is just deceitful
These are the words of a disciple
Let's go back to when things were tribal
When we were not frightful
Of police that roam these roads
For a black man to unload
Every single clip that he has on load
Black body splattered on the road
And one month later the case is closed
All charges dropped cause the threat he posed
(The threat he posed)
[Chorus]
I don't know what it takes
My life they want to take
This world is full of hate
Not too long before I break
I don't know what it takes
My life they want to take
This world is full of hate
Not too long before I break
[Verse 2]
This country was built our shoulders
This burden is heavier than boulder
And what I notice as I get older
Whites are still the controller
We're at war I'm a soldier
Fighting everyday just for some closure
Want a better world for my children
Don't care about making a million
Reasons to cry I have about a billion
TV has another civilian
Dead on the street this feeling is killing
They treat us like we're the villain
(I'm not a villain I'm not a villain.)
[Chorus]
I don't know what it takes
My life they want to take
This world is full of hate
Not too long before I break
I don't know what it takes
My life they want to take
This world is full of hate
Not too long before I break
