Ideal Minded - T.M.T. (feat. Sarah Davenport)

Sick of people acting crooked
Cuz I'm blacker looking
Uh
Sick of police passing judgment fore they pass the book in
Yeah
I've been thinking yo
There's something we've been overlooking
Mhm
Instead of looking over what we wrote
About a couple hundred fucking years ago
People were created equal
But people were created evil
Man I keep the confrontations bout my race
On my brain in my sleep
Cuz they've been imbedded really deep
Though I've heard it all
You're step closer to apes
Niggas won't work to get paid
Spit on me laugh in my face
Guilty before it's a case
Probably got drugs in his jays
Just feel her down she's afraid
Feeling me now you awake
Sit on my neck I can't breathe
Cuffed if I ask a few things
But what if that's freedom of speech
I've been practicing my preach
Been demanding for some peace
Bitch I stand for human beings
Uh
Stay up so I don't have to feel them lows
Media buzzing people hum along
Following taking selfies in the swarms
It be like the lights are on and no ones home
When will we try to find some common ground
Instead of fighting over common space
The sun been shining out the rain
Like how I keep my mental state

I know things change
And I know this life gets difficult
We can be great
We just gotta keep it checked like a physical
It's funny they
Always say it's in my head that it's mental
They look at me strange
I would go and call em out for my kinfolk

Too many laid in the ground last year
Too many years we've been down past fear
Too many times we done cried these tears
This gon' be the last one here
Too many laid in the ground last year
Too many years we've been down past fear
Too many times we done cried these tears
This gon' be the last one here

My brothers wanna get paid
Get a good education
But there's a thing called systemic racism
Stemming back from a time where black men were fined
Beaten and paid a price
For waking up as a kind

Niggas get into crime
Nothing else keeps the lights
Discriminated from rights
And forced to stereotype

I think it's time that we fight
Nothings better than rights
I've never been better black
I've always been told I'm white

Take it from someone half
I'm always catching a fight
From shady niggas that act
And try to pin me a type
On the real
I don't see a fucking difference in your pigment
Fuck a racist And the witness who ain't did shit

We need commitment to better all of our children
We need police that won't set us up for a living
We need some judges to better us in the building
We need to heal and be generous
Do Feel me

I know things change
And I know this life gets difficult
We can be great
We just gotta keep it checked like a physical
It's funny they
Always say it's in my head that it's mental
They look at me strange
I would go and call em out for my kinfolk

Too many laid in the ground last year
Too many years we've been down past fear
Too many times we done cried these tears
This gon' be the last one here
Too many laid in the ground last year
Too many years we've been down past fear
Too many times we done cried these tears
This gon' be the last one here
