Turmoil creeping in the mind state The media been trying to start a race war

while the rich still unaffected by the crime rate

I wait, citizens are in the streets that made a change

But none of us agree on what to change to I'm sitting here just plotting on a move

But the fam said they praying that this industry don't change you

And I ain't finna compromise nothin' People said I'm switching sides but y 'all

frontin' I mean y 'all don't really know my heart

Just more work and I'ma do this thing with all my might

Boy, this all my life You don't like the things I'm saying in my

music You don't have to listen when I'm speaking

I never promised to do one thing that you can't expect from me

I guarantee you I'ma always keep it honest

Yeah, anti -tribe, you know we're pinning upon it

Yeah, true winner, favorite, single opponent Yeah, but who's my competition?

Bro, my brother's jealous, sickest guy An enemy compared with me to another

When I see the accomplishments and accolades I get jaded but I keep it hidden

from my face Cause I don't want the world to see me as

I really am A self -righteous hypocrite that's always

doing shade, yeah

On January 1st of every year I open up my Bible

Then I always say I'm gonna talk to God more

On January 5th I hit the Vatican And then I start to question everything that

I believe in God for But January 10th I put it down and running

down I'm down and now convinced that I am falling

out of grace now And I remember when you showed me your face

The world is hungry for your love and I've been running in place

And now I'm asking for your help to get me back in this race

And I'ma speak my testimony just to give them a taste

Of what your freedom really like before I hear it's too late

Cause I got homies dropping dead from all these bullets that they take

And you're the zinging epidemic who can fathom the rate

And all the rappers on the radio stay moving away

And I won't hesitate to call you out when I make it fake

Thank God for future Juicy J and all the rest of you lames

Yeah, if I'd have started making music just so I could get wealthy

I'd have gotten a law school so Donald Trump wouldn't expel me

Then I'd sue the government and most of them would repel me

I'm a Zack Taylor, woke up, I won't do what you tell me

Got a lot of hatred in my heart, I need y 'all to help me

I need you to pray for me, I need you to check me

Cause when I see my sin as God does, it wrecks me

And I need that perspective up in my life to direct me

If racism's dead, why aren't you just segregated?

This the land of the free, believe the world and incarcerated citizens

But the minimum sentence isn't the remnant of the thing

We thought we'd change with the 13th Amendment

Still growing, still moving, stay steady

We go through it, we ain't losing it, y 'all knew it

Don't see the world in the same way I used to

The current state is tumultuous

People say that drowning is actually a really peaceful way to die

It's not difficult to see why

After this shock and hysteria passes

After fluids violently fill your lungs as you struggle to hold your breath

A certain serenity takes hold after you surrender

But you don't die immediately, you become numb

And the longer that you're under, the more you forget what could have been

And you lose perspective of what's about to happen
