LEE MUSIC - Thats How I See It

That red light and weed smoke, my uncle still slang dope
He ain't had no hope, my cousin in the same boat
Put my Henn with the Coke a nigga still burnt out
I'm turnt now, cussing out the driver this ain't no joke
Really not that violent but my Mama never raised a hoe
Daddy from the projects and he showed me how to slang a blow
What you wanna be famous for, know that you a private nigga
And you getting bread you better stick to all they driving nigga
Voices in my head and they saying shit like Simon nigga
Talked her off the ledge because they said it ain't her timing nigga
Cut off all them dreads or you'll be dead
Shit, don't remind nigga
All I see is red when Feds think they can try me nigga
Aye come find me nigga
I'm trying to find myself cuz lately I been lost
I'm trying to floss and build up this wealth
Dressing like the boss but my heart been saying something else
I gotta listen, let's talk about all this mental health
Deepest thoughts that I probably keep inside
I cross my heart and I hate to see that someone had to die
Tell somebody how you feel man, I'm just trying to being real
Real niggas gonna cry, gotta put away on the pride
That's how I see it
That's how I see it
That's how I see it
That's how I see it
Black youth
Particularly black boys
Are introduced
With the struggle of mental health
At a very early age
It's treated, in elementary school
The city killing black boys they popped him in the back
He gone pop another Altoid or sell it like it's crack
What you expect when your lifespan is twenty five to max
Know a shorty with some night plans of dollars up her ass
There ain't nothing I think I can do, boy I got my demons
Let me buy another bottle, throw a party for the reason
My brother hit my phone and said the project out of season
Just to get into the zone a nigga drinking to the Weeknd let that sink in
Hate to be the bear of bad news, but you can't get them new shoes
Not even that fast food
They do what they had to
Everything was past due
Your cousin steal from you, you going nutty like a cashew
And you stabbed him like a tattoo
Boy you going too far
Police say that they're scared of you because you're in that new car
Probably call you nigga and he say it with the ER
His mama call my phone and now my nigga in the ER
Deepest thoughts that I probably keep inside
I cross my heart and I hate to see that someone had to die
Tell somebody how you feel man, I'm just trying to being real
Real niggas gonna cry, gotta put away on the pride
That's how I see it
That's how I see it
That's how I see it
That's how I see it
Black males, who have been born under racism
Cuz racism, agression, and microagression
Uh, born into that
Makes something of you
Prayer can fix it all, shit I know we all heard it
I still pray to God but sometimes I'm still hurting
How you deal with pain, gonna drown it in some bourbon
Cop a new chain, spend your last on a Birkin
Get that Bruce Wayne, Lois Lane push the german
Ain't the one to blame, see a nigga still learning
I would go insane cuz that fire still burning
But I'm smoking propane and staying clean as detergent
Life is really crazy and we pass it to our babies
I know the world hate me, I'm reminded on a daily
They don't know what I'm saying, so I talk like Wayne Brady
That's a toll on my brain and that toll don't pay me
A nigga's mental struggle that's the hardest fight of all
They really tore us down and they ain't even leave a wall
Bad as it may sound I been on a mental war
Some days I feel proud, and others days I want to mourn
