The city young black men

We′re now living in a state of public emergency

Middle class and poor people be targetedEvery day dealing with so much hostility

Negative socialism

I refuse to be petrified

And there's no mercy for the rivals

They want the rich niggas to live in total silence exiled

Flee the country, more assassinations

Let′s go

Where you're forced to be, feeling strangers can see that you killers

Detrimental to my upbringing that, I feel so abandoned

I was lost and confused and therefore had nothing to lose

Now I'm running the racket, nigga got cut from the noose

I just wanna be free, another black man on the run

We was pinned to the cross since our birth under the sun

Ain′t no hate in my heart, I′ve adapted to rage

Step off the stage, pussy nigga right back in the cage

Now we burning the streets, Christ to the cross

Our position is blatant (Blatant), rightfully lost

Less empowered, the people no need to sign the petitions

Peace and Revelations, scriptures keep on blinding these Christians

I'm in search of the truth (Truth), we each have a flaw (Flaw)

Soon as Dre hit the roof, she file for divorce

Van Jones go get a broom, never making no laws

Terry Crews is another coon who was basically bought

Some shape white eyes of light pour diamonds buried in the snow

But I see things we have in common, a smile so beautiful

So if I cry and these white diamonds push along the shore

It′s 'cause I know the shit you′ve

Been through and you made it beautiful

You made it (Made it, made it, made it)

You made it beautiful

You made it (Made it, made it)

Made it beautiful

Racists killing for cotton, niggas fighting for honor

In the South you've forgotten call my city the bottom

Kilos get to deposits, living like it′s the lotto

This my moment of glory, grandiose is the dollar

Always postin' your sneakers, you're the one that they follow

I′m a born to be leader, such a collection of knowledge

Are we dead or alive? Unforgettable highs

Know the Lord lookin′ down for the day that we rise

Got my pistols all on me, niggas might Christopher zone me

Black on black issues over, principles peep, you're opponent

Who got the most money while it′s yet to be seen?

'Cause I′m still counting mine, such an incredible thing

In seek of true wealth, great example for niggas

You decide at yourself, I consider it business

We still in the trenches where they made us relentless

Where the real war is literal, where the hate is tremendous

Some shape white eyes of light pour diamonds it's buried in the snow

But I see things we have been calm and it′s now that beautiful

So if I cry and these white diamonds push along the shore

It's 'cause I know the shit you′ve

Been through and you made it beautiful

You made it (Made it, made it, made it)

You made it beautiful

You made it (Made it, made it)

Made it beautiful

Now I′m in the McLaren, still raisin' them commas

I′m watchin' for Karen, G watchin′ bird watches

Still I wish you the best, Ray Charles in the flesh

Pavarotti to some, Quincy Jones to the rest

Muddy waters the marble, set my city in flame

Turn my back on the mid flag then they would rattle my cage

I don't wanna argue but I won at the race

Got me pinned to the cross, has the sinister wave

Such a body of work, my debut was a classic

Hov′ gave me a verse, so that kept it attractive

My old crew was submerged, DEA wanted the address

Make her play with her pussy, with a few million in her mattress

My life needed a balance, didn't come for the status

My mother responsible, she raised me so lavish

Look, son, you're a king, wherever she resided

And they kept me excited ′til the day I′m indicted
