Colorado

[Verse]

To all the people tryna change
But lack in motivation
Hold your head
Cause I myself was in that situation
All it takes is confidence
And some determination
And maybe help from someone else
But nigga that's okay just
Let a woman in ya life
And look at how she change it
Let her speak
And really listen to the things she's saying
I can't imagine what y'all go through
On a day to day
Black women paved the way for me
So man I'm prayin' for 'em
I pray my son respects your essence
Beyond physical
I pray my daughter won't be harassed
By no niggas who
Think it's funny
Or they do not know no better and
Think it's cool to push up on her
Tryna sweat her, man
Shit
The times that we livin' in
This shit is a trip
But really who are we kidding, man
I turn on my TV
And boy that shit made me nauseous
But we can't go back to normal
Cause our normal is toxic
They're taking money out our schools
And overfunding the police
That's more bread for niggas' heads
To be left dead in the streets
That's more or less a death sentence
For niggas who look like we
Black, the most affected
So when they kill me
Don't bring up past convictions
Or what was in my system
Don't let them tell you it was just an
Underlying condition
Don't let them show my mugshot
While he smiling in the picture
And black on black crime
Is not the issue
Nigga you know they went and
Made that shit up
White parents watching the news
They went and ate that shit up
Now ignorant and misinformed
Is how they raised they kids up
And they looking at me crazy
When I raise my fist up
But my black skin is not a weapon
It's not a threat
It shouldn't infuriate you
To the point of disrespect
My black features ain't ya costume
My black features are beautiful
That's what we gotta feed the youth
Any less is inexcusable
And do you think I'm even caring
What a Karen say?
Shit, let me make one last point
'Fore I get carried away
All lives can't matter until
Black Lives Matter
And that's the hill that I would die on
Mother fuck
Letting bygones be bygones
On my grandmommy grave
And that ain't nothing to lie on
Go look up the school-to-prison pipeline
1 in 3 black men get locked up in they lifetime
And don't get me started on the suffering
Of our black women
In our medical system
Man this shit got me sick and
How just based on our looks
They be treating us different
While y'all birthing our children
They be moving like we
Tolerate more pain
Like we makin it up
Don't that really sound fucked
Man enough is enough
Scared to get my girl pregnant
But that should be a blessing
Dawg we gotta do something
But shit y'all get the message
Yeah sadly
Been beefin' with my auntie Jill
Screaming at me and my moms
Man she don't know how to chill
All the cussing and the tension
Had my grandma stressing
Seen her cry real tears for the
First time
Still got to kick it though
It wasn't the worst time
But that was the last time
That I seen her healthy
Well, not that healthy
But at least we got to pop out
Reminiscing bout my B-M-Dub
You know I used to pull the drop out
Came back a few months and
She was written in bed
That fucked me up a whole lot
Shit had me sick in the head
If I could've traded places
Have it be me instead
It ain't even a question
You know what I would've did
You showed me Arizona
Colorado, the Rocky Mountains
Shit that niggas back home
Couldn't even imagine
Let me or Wock drive your whip
From Longmont to LA
AZ to LA
That was me and Zay
I guess what I'm tryna say
This album I dedicate
To you and your spirit
And trust me I know you hear it
Tryna accept that you ain't here
Man this shit is just hard to swallow
But I know you watching over
From Jersey to
Colorado

[Adlibs]

Nah, for real though I love you
I know my flow is awkward has hell on this shit
Should I do it over?
It's good?
Alright
