[Verse 1: Essam]
The system tryna murder me
Fake compassion, they just acting, tryna earn em fees
Said it in "West is my home", my mama she can barely breath
Yes, she was already sick, but who the one who made her bleed
Doctors knew exactly 'bout her allergies
Still they gave her morphine
She fell into a coma, I was thirteen
Now don't never ask why I‘m tripping 'bout the system
I‘m praying for my brother MD, I really miss him
O Allah, please have mercy on his soul, Ameen
Every day is a struggle on this road, getting older
I‘m always having questions, when this pain will be over
I always feel intoxicated even if I‘m sober
I’m always on a hustle, tryna make it out this box
If it wasn't for my momz, and I probably shake the spot
If it wasn't for Islam, then I probably do some dirt
They really think that we can live of a 9-5 work, I‘m alert
Ain‘t nobody gonna test me
You know it is a problem, when this knowledge in the streets meet
They tried to bury us beneath
Didn't know that we were seeds
We gonna rise like a rose through the concrete
[Chorus: Fetti & Essam]
The system tryna murder me, and the West is my home
I‘m just tryna find my way home
They didn't wanna see all us grow, nah
But we stand strong, all ten toes
I keep them with me wherever I go, one up top akh, only Allah knows, one
He put us in this situation, it‘s poverty
Every corner, liquor store, it‘s lottery
They lie to us, they lie to you
Man, they lie to me
So what you expect man, we‘re young prodigies
They can‘t stop us, no, this was meant to be (x2)
The system tryna murder me, and the West is my home
[Verse 2: Essam]
To all my family
Don‘t be deceived, 'cause they really want us ignore it
They - the industries, politricks and government
And now the ones who are controlling them
The one percent
Their agenda, it had never been a benefit
Our people
Division is vulnerable, but when we're unity is lethal???
They dry the first blood and expect us to be peaceful
The constitution talk about we equal
They tell us we‘re minorities,but really we are more than them
Normalising war, can‘t afford
To see my people suffer anymore
Nah, I‘m sick and tired of being sick and tired
We‘re already under attack, but than we still divide
We gotta come together, revolutionise
Revelation divine
Clear the vision of the mind
Know the lies from the truth
Youth discover where the truth lies
A doctor can study an illness
But never know what the patient is feeling
Patiently waiting for a new position
Cause we condition to accept this corrupted system
I was addressing our concerns, they did never listen
Do your pressure, be the one with the voice
So why the hell we always hear oppressors making the noise
We demanded, we want change
So don‘t think it‘s a choice
[Chorus: Fetti & Essam]
The system tryna murder me, and the West is my home
I‘m just tryna find my way home
They didn't wanna see all us grow, nah
But we stand strong, all ten toes
I keep them with me wherever I go, one up top akh, only Allah knows, one
He put us in this situation, it‘s poverty
Every corner, liquor store, it‘s lottery
They lie to us, they lie to you
Man, they lie to me
So what you expect man, we‘re young prodigies
They can‘t stop us, no, this was meant to be (x2)
The system tryna murder me, and the West is my home
