Safe And Sound In Chicago

[Verse 1: sulaiman]

Killing niggas ain't saying much
They'll kill a nigga then just say it's us
See a black life got a back light
If the cash right they'll spray em up
And it's no snitching we oppose telling
But it's no voting for a former felon
And the army mailin' niggas out to die
Coming back blood soaked hung out to dry
You think it's cool yeah you think it's cute
Televised revolutions get the mute
Here's some chicken soup for the lost souls
Trynna un-learn all the false goals
Keep your head spinning and your eyes open
Why demand vision from the blindfolded?
Don't be tryin’ build your lil something real
When ya floorboard got the pine bucklin’
Killing niggas is a rite of passage
When you mimic captors turning up ya savage
Into living lavish never owning nothing
Never paying taxes til’ they come and cuff it
I control the public while I hold my private
Squeezed out now you turning violent
Think you Michael Jackson think you starting something
You a plush toy bet you farted stuffing
I regarded hustling as a middle passage
Niggas move the package on the new Atlantic
So the Jim Crow like the rich folks
Who can sniff coke like a true romantic
Give a crack habit to the dark people
I'm as endangered as the bald eagle
And I do believe that we the chosen people
With ya head high know they won't defeat you

[Chorus]

And here I was thinking that I wasn’t enough
You got me fucked up
And here I was thinking that I wasn’t enough
You got me fucked up

[Verse 2: Sulaiman]

Niggas killin is apocalypse
Black women get on top of shit
We can topple it, it's a big scam
Give me freedom or death I got both planned
I was owed hands and a modern mule
How I toiled land and embodied cool
Think the common rule was to make us sweat
Just to bottle our wisdom and intellect
Never get a check, or a footnote
Get rich or die trying's a good quote
But who even made it to the real race
From this concentration camp or steel cage
Yeah I feel rage, PTSD
Got no answers the days that they test me
Give em yes no please thank you dip
Know they want my life they ain't taking shit
They killing niggas cause niggas killin’
Trynna be a hero they made a villain
But revealing history get super sour
When you brave the storm and speak truth to power
As the final Hour of the clock tickin’
And the story dies while I’m plot diggin’
I cannot fail My God different
Wouldn’t lock children in a dark prison
Wouldn’t block women from a right to vote
Kill black leaders put a knife to throat
Ain’t no wonder why I’m finna light the dope
On these baby-woke elite types of blokes
Too close ten feet no pressure know better
Do better quick self check mmm who better
There’s never, been a time before when all
God’s fam in alliance
I ran into Zion

[Chorus]

And here I was thinking that I wasn’t enough
You got me fucked up
And here I was thinking that I wasn’t enough
You got me fucked up
