DrippDaDon - Silhouette

A silhouette
Ain’t no blood or no tears but you can see the sweat
It doesn’t matter if we right or wrong I won't regret
Being born being colored something we can’t reset
A silhouette
You say that you love us then you treat us like some fucking pets
Gun us down without the decency to call a vet
Then hit us with the bill and now a momma stay in debt
Hate it or love it, we can’t change it
Right when they see us they think we dangerous
Niggas cousins get killed and they get slayed wit
The same weapons we supposedly get saved wit
Get saved wit
Having dreams bout my friends getting shot
Guilty or not to the cops, nigga
Statistically they dangerous
Making plays trynna get to the top
Make it or not till we stop, nigga
You know they tryna slave us
It be based on a true story 'till you change the fact
And somehow you the victim
We the perp because we black
Can’t admit it but we scared and that’s why we stay strapped
The fear of getting killed or murdered nigga, we can’t cut no slack
He said, nigga put the gun down read the situation
Just take 'yo time I know I you scared, I know your mind is racing
Just take a breath slow down the rate at which your heart is pacing
I know he might kill you cause you black
And that’s a fact I’m stating
He don’t wanna kill you neither
I bet five bucks he’s just a man with a family to feed
Think he outa luck might be his day don’t wanna be deceased
So he use his piece
And now another brother Rest In Peace
I guess that’s not the case cuz then he cocked back
Who can stop that
No one will testify
You dropped back
So he trot back
Told the judge that nigga fought back
Image all black
Man, to be honest, you can’t top that
But we can stop that
Damn
And it’s painful
To know that people this hateful
To know now that we fought for peace
And realize now it's going wasted
To know a man could be born with his reputation pre-painted
Know that because I’m black, I'm at war and my people hated, Shit
Had to get it off my chest,nigga
The world we live in is a test
No elevator we got stairs
So you better take advantage of the steps, nigga
Staying focused is the plan
And when they mentioning ‘yo name
You better learn to love your melanin
You blessed, nigga
Nowadays you can’t go walk the wrong way
Or hit the block the wrong way
Without catching bullets to the chest, nigga
Before we die they don’t give a damn about our life
But when we die seems like throwing us a ‘Muthafuckin fest, nigga
Seems like people really aching to hate us
They really hating, I’m fed up
We better member Malcolm X, nigga
So when you walking out the door
Check your self and check some more
Make sure you walking with the lord
And know you blessed, nigga
