How to survive
Stayin alive
Gettin more difficult but I’ma thrive
Ain’t no surprise
Tell me yo “why”
Cant be no sucka so can’t let shit slide
Look in they eyes
They cannot hide
change anything? must be ready to die
Ready to ride
They done tried
Givin us drugs and guns for genocide
Now we need to plot and plan and strategize
To conquer the people you know you divide
Mixin religion with it jumbaliesaaa
burn it down where’s the lighter
Destroy and rebuild it
The people’ll will it
We numb with no feelin
We seen all the killin
The glass on the ceiling
Then Kap started kneelin
They made him a villain
The clearer my vision
The 13th Amendment
Is slavery as prison
It seem like they dealin
Our life and blood as sacrifice
For karmic debt
For more or less
This ballot got me stressed

Y'all telling me that I need to get out and vote, huh, why?
Ain't nobody black running but crac-kers, so, why
I got to register?
But I’ma do it tho

Guess I’ma git up git out and get something
Lookin at these proposition
What they pumpin
Now is it mismanagement of finances
where Black folks get nothin?
Jackie Lacy protecting cops
that live for the dumpin
On Black lives
hear ‘em talkin defunding
Agree that any option is better than more Trumpin
I guess that’s where I’m aligned
Agenda that’s in my mind
These democrat republicans don’t really represent my
Beliefs on livelihood
My people they barely good
Pricing out neighborhoods
Some people they can’t afford
To live in the city they grew up
A new heliport
On top of the new lofts
Being built right across
Of a demolition job
Everything done change
wealth gap growing bigger
Maga hats at the gun range
elderly family called me today about a .38
2020 held no punches
We all watched Election Day

Me voting in this election is more of a basic civic duty in hopes to getting rid of someone I have no respect for as a leader
As a Black man in this nation I have little faith in whomever wins to unite the nation in a way that helps lift my people
The confederacy and white supremacy has had this country by the balls for generations
The ESTABLISHMENT has used every divide and conquer tactic it could muster to keep US civilians at arms
Greedy capitalists and racists will do anything to keep their seats and maintain power
Even if it means civil unrest
So what do you choose?
