Wil B and the Political Power of Hiphop - Burn Notice

Burn notice
The government has flipped and done turned on us
Corrupt to Kavanaugh to your boy Thomas
Haters they pay homage
To another time they wouldn't let us in
They claiming that it's makin' us great again
They're taintin' the medicine
New diseases corrupt our seedlins'
Add pollutants to our environment
The children are leavin'
The ones who ain't leavin'
End up pleadin'
Doin' time, losin' life
Cause this justice misleadin'
Brothers still bleedin'
Marvin's mama's still cryin'
The panic's still spreadin'
Why so many still dyin'
Trying to make it to the top, just by theivin' and lyin'
Just gave us enough rope
Strange trees we was climbin'
This is systemic
Like candy rap ain't really a paid gimmick
Awaken real cynics, make 'em all get wit it
Spit out a jewel and watch me pawn it for dinner
Aim for soul and watch me hit center
I'm a reborn sinner
I refuse to let satan enter
Drippin' ice when I flow, message colder than winter
Saturday nights still live
Sunday mornings get hardcore
On my knees sayin' prayers to the Savior you are Lord
Speakin' truth, inspirin' youth to be the truth you were born for
Undeserving of the Blessing still cryin' we want more
Lord have mercy, cause the children are spoiled
Jesus gave His whole life
We still struggle with loyal
Messin' up the whole thang, like the fly in the oil
Staring at the pot, waitin' for the water to boil
Pressure bursts pipes, I baptize in the water
It's the passion of the Christ that helped me morn for my daughter
Trustin' Jesus with my life, another sheep for the slaughter
Holy Spirit shinin' light for The Heavenly Father
Burn Notice
