Take Me Now

(Intro – "Belly" Sample)
Before you pull that trigger, and take my life, I would like the chance to tell you something, perhaps, to think about after I'm gone. Don't worry about me stalling, my people have orders to lead me to my studies for another fifteen minutes. I will only take five. Can you bear with me?

(Hook – Chass):
Young, Black in America
Walking around with my hands up
Crossed out by injustice
Skin color is my sentence
I still wear it proud
Melanin screams aloud
Fist to the sky
God take me now

(Verse 1 – Trae Perry):
Looking out my window the sun is shining
Man I just forgot what the time is
The birds are chirping and we still working
They say life's short but it feels so timeless
Future's bright they can't close my curtains
Open to life tell me what's your purpose
I hear you claim you wonna make an impact
But half you rappers can't scratch the surface
Heavenly Father please guide my steps
No need to be way up when I know I'm blessed
Looking at the news like this can't be life
Thoughts making it hard, can't sleep at night
Yeah life gets stressful but still I'm smiling
We ain't reached the peak we still climbing
2AM is my state of mind and we making noise no keeping quiet
Had a talk with God he said, "Just be patient
I know your heart and I see your anxious
But I got plans like you got plans
So don't even trip while you on vacation" (I said cool)
So it's back to the mission
Bear with me cuz it might take a minute
God take me now, I need your permission
Lord is my witness we here tryna get it

(Hook – Chass):
Young, Black in America
Walking around with my hands up
Crossed out by injustice
Skin color is my sentence
I still wear it proud
Melanin screams aloud
Fist to the sky
God take me now

(Bridge – Chass & Trae Perry):
God-God-God take me now
God-God-God take me now
God-God-God take me now
God-God-God take me now

(Verse 2 – Chass & Trae Perry):
Walked to the corner store
Skittles, Arizona
Gotta catch a train
Fruitvale is where I'm going
Got in the car with my patnas
Saw the lights behind us
Once I looked away
They already shot us
Dang he had so much potential
He was headed for greatness what was he killed for?
Now the family mourning at the wake
It ain't safe out here this could be your day
That's what they telling us on CNN
Khaled said they don't wonna see us win
Now the people in Ferguson wildin' out
Young brown skin I took the safer route
Just turned 18 the other day
Mom just saw me graduate
Hands up now the fifth I plead
I just wonna see the future ahead of me
Please tell me what I did
God please spare your kid
Just Black in America targeted everywhere
Shots ricocheting through the air let the weather clear

(Outro – Chass)
Enslaved then, enslaved now
Bondage in chains, dead on the ground
Got me singing, got me singing
Wade in the water, wade in the water children
Wade in the water, wade in the water
