The second track off Mick Jenkins' third studio album Elephant In The Room, sees him listing activities he’d like to be able to do without fearing for his life, but which—as the title indicates—could lead to your death if you’re black.
Each of the activities Mick lists describes the well-documented...
[Intro: Mick Jenkins]
I just wanna smoke my weed
I just wanna love my girl
[Chorus: Mick Jenkins]
I just wanna smoke my weed
I just wanna love my girl
I just wanna praise my God
I just wanna sell my loose cigarettes, nigga
I just wanna do my job
[Verse: Mick Jenkins]
Might wanna go for a jog
Might wanna sleep in my car
Might wanna sleep in my bed
Make me wanna bear my arms
Make me want the police dead
I really just want respect
Just wanna drank my drank
I just wanna fuck wit' my friends
I might wanna stack my ends
I wanna cross the street
I just wanna speed one time
I wanna do V.I.P. one time
I just wanna speak my mind
I just wanna post my bail
I ain't even do the crime
I just wanna make mistakes
Might wanna ask a question
Might call the police for protection
Might wan' protect myself
I just wan' help myself
I might need meds myself
Just wan' caretaker to tell you I'm sick
If I can't take care of myself
[Bridge: Mick Jenkins]
I just wanna live my life
(Let me stay Black and die)
I just wanna live my life
I just wanna live my life
[Chorus: Mick Jenkins]
I just wanna smoke my weed
I just wanna love my girl
I just wanna praise my God
I just wanna sell my loose cigarettes, nigga
I just wanna do my job
I just wanna live my life
[Outro: Ben Hixon & Mick Jenkins]
I just wanna smoke my weed and love my girl
Just wanna meditate and mind my business
Just wanna link up with the fam, I will
Wanna live my life, baby
Wanna live my life
Wanna hit the pool
Wanna hit the ice
Wanna jump the broom
Wanna throw a little rice
Wouldn't that be nice?
I just wanna smoke my weed and love my girl
