K'sa - Chin Up

Put my head down, keep my chin up
Been through some shit yeah I'll admit but keep my chin up
Y'all counterfeit can't match this wit them haters been done
Keep talking shit I'll never quit game time I'm Lillard
Portland made Cali raised on the southern side
Good lord she came change the game not without a fight
Aye, not without a fight
Your rights? Better believe those are worth a fight
The browner the skin, the deeper they hate, man
The poorer you are, the more that you stay, fam
Listen up, this is real modern-day man
Now in the south can't jog on streets, they might be slain
Listen up, fuck that
That's enough pushback
That's enough push back
1863, the end of slavery
Nah they just changed the gift wrap
If you feel bad, then they've won
Please don't feel bad, keep your chin up
I got a sister and she's pregnant
Brother in law, little bro, he's in prison man
A crime he didn't do
But still in prison when
Police arrived, they shot, they lied
They almost killed the man
Yeah I'm gassed up
Don't have to be black to fight for what's just
Can't figure out if most of y'all are just flat out dumb
Or just a product of a corrupt government
Keep your chin up
When things get rough
Please don't give up
We'll get there, I promise
Kinda funny right
People can sleep at night
Creating policies
That strip us of our rights
Rights right? Wrong
Be calm, they tell us
Be gone, hard sell us
On an idea that leads us astray
Tell us go right
But walk the opposite way
Tell us they're allies
Then turn around and betray
Stab you in the back, in fact, won't blink or think twice
The problem is, I'm convinced
Most of y'all don't think right
But you think you do
You're buying rhetoric, from the opposing side
You're smoking sedatives, instead of open your eyes
Oh boy, here we go
Conspiracy theories, you think you know
Your fear is just merely taking over the show
What happened to logic and reason bro
Wait.. I think I know
Yeah I think I know
It's easy to be hating on things
To be free can't be jaded must be
Active, speak intelligently
That's when there'll be change and you'll see
We got stupid people
People who actually can't process things cognitively thinking they are
Making problems for the rest of it, costing us things, they are
Scary
Have your opinions backed by facts
Don't watch youtube and think you're an expert, like that's that
Only listen to people who haven't told you something wrong
At the end of the day, fight for what's right, keep your chin up, and be strong
