By:Bj - Take My Soul

Feeling stuck but never complacent
Hard times but never complaining
No freddy I seen nightmares they try to drown me like jason
I made it with no demonstration
I had some complications
I'm fighting confederations
They kill my people daily
Supposed to protect and save me
But they dont use no safety
Ain't meditation that can save me from these implications
And so I ask this question
What about the babies and the mommas who gone raise em
Please don't shoot me use yo taser
What y'all scared of is it my skin or my brother
I think they jealous they want my pigment but not my color
They tried to tell us that we can have rights but they don't help us
We be screaming out that we can't breathe but still left breathless
Gotta value yo people you might not see em after breakfast
Go to war with the enemy ain't no folding under pressure
Pressure make diamonds shinning perfect timing like a blessing
My melanin royalty I am a king they are some peasants
If I should die before I wake lord take my soul away
If I should die before I wake lord take my soul
If I should die before I wake lord take my soul away
If I should die before I wake lord take my soul
Look I'd hate to leave my mother behind or my sisters
Id hate to leave my granny behind she use to whoop us
I'm thankful for them lessons that I learned I was a hoodlum
If I didn't learn I'd probably be gone or in the system
I think we all know are right from our wrongs and they abusing
They gave the power to the wrong people and they misuse it
Give it to me I'm building black wall street to the fullest
It feel like we still got ropes around our necks and they still pulling
I ain't scared of bullets
I been dodging them before my teens
It's a beautiful struggle but sometimes all I hear is screams
I don't watch the news cause I got tired of seeing all of my friends
They say they feel our pain but these niggas ain't never had a chance
Too many caskets and not enough leaders to find the balance
All our leaders getting killed because they want us to be silent
The revolution is televised
I still got tears in eyes
They say black lives matters but they kill us man it's genocide
If I should die before I wake lord take my soul away
If I should die before I wake lord take my soul
If I should die before I wake lord take my soul away
If I should die before I wake lord take my soul
