there's a saying that goes tough times don't last tough people but how long must one whether the storm until they see brighter days? I'm fed up trying to keep my head up but it's getting hard to carry the load they say if a cop stop ya just do what they say but I swear they never leave alone this the 5th time this week I then fit the description reaching my breaking point wish somebody would listen my car broke I'm walking home my baby's sick and my dad's gone this the only time I get to spend alone had the music bumping I was in the zone (pause) trying find my peace wasn't doing wrong but I'm big and black yeah nigga strong if I over react then I could be gone if I under react then I could be gone if I don't react then I could gone how do I react how do I survive when I put my hands And still get shot in the eye my dad had a conversation with me when I was five be a man of many masks son they can see that black son so any reaction is an overreaction they don't care if you can't breathe they'll watch your soul leave then blame on the confrontation man fuck the police
