Jay Gatz - Black Matter

[00:01.07] Yung Nab baby

[00:14.27] I feel like a heavyweight
[00:16.39] Roll up and medicate
[00:18.25] Get money never hate
[00:19.86] I got a heavy plate
[00:21.88] This smoke I blow levitate
[00:23.52] You better be very worried
[00:25.25] This years looking very scary
[00:27.02] I can’t come in second like February
[00:29.03] Inside all my ppl coffins, there’s kings and queens in all them
[00:32.64] Outside all my ppl marchin’ but still they kill what’s darker
[00:36.24] George Floyd said he couldn’t breathe
[00:38.24] I wish somebody would’ve stopped them
[00:40.09] Leaves fall from the tree in fall, cause they can’t breathe in autumn
[00:43.48] & what they do? Put us in piles and put us in bags
[00:45.94] Throw us away, like we was trash
[00:47.71] America’s finest landscaping, the Uniform come with a gun and a badge
[00:51.40] And no you are not better than
[00:52.63] You fear what you don’t understand
[00:54.18] Fail to see the innocence in my melanin
[00:56.32] Bitter circles need better friends
[00:58.28] We need Less Facebook, more hustle
[01:00.32] More opinions lead to more trouble
[01:02.06] People that I went to school with, or was cool wit
[01:04.62] Let it all crumble
[01:05.81] Never did you want the understanding
[01:07.76] You don’t care you got the upper hand and
[01:09.31] People only react to whatever directly affects them, I can’t fucking stand it!

[02:01.21] Why don’t you police police
[02:02.31] When they are killing ppl week by week of color tryna make it decent living?
[02:05.15] Type em in and you can see the killings
[02:06.80] I get numb-er every pleaded sentence
[02:08.52] Another body on the body camera, they don’t wanna believe some police are menace
[02:12.15] But I think that they’re gettin’ the point now
[02:13.94] Even though we still got a long way
[02:15.74] I just hope that my brothers is safe
[02:17.55] It was weed get the gun out my face
[02:19.42] They just kill us for nothing these days
[02:21.32] Lately I ain’t had nothing to say
[02:23.17] Lately I ain’t had nothing but hate
[02:24.94] lately I ain’t need nothing but faith
